Before this birther nonsense gets shut done for good I really hope we get an answer to the “Obama has spent millions defending this legal claim” meme — in every single birther sight and thread you’ll always find someone stating definitively that something must be real because “… he has spent X million dollars in court trying to block our super sane and sensible request that he merely show his long firm birth certificate …”

At the beginning of the year, “X” was 1 million dollars, now you hear even bigger amounts.

Every time I see that claim I ask for a link or proof and it never comes back, all links seem to go back to a circular echo chamber of birther logs and websites.

Just once, before this issue gets closed for good I want someone to attempt to back up that claim. I know it does not matter in the long term but for some reason I’m perversely interested in tracking down who initiated that claim and what leaps of {non}logic were used to back it up.
