Robert Bauer is the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie, the Seattle law firm hired by the Obama Campaign to prevent the American public from seeing a wide range of Obama’s records that could prove, or disprove, his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution’s requirement that the president be a “natural born” citizen under Article Two, Section 1 of the Constitution.
Obama continues to stonewall the release his bona fides to the American People. These documents include his long-form birth certificate, his medical records, passport records, as well as other records that may possibly be relevant, such as records regarding Obama’s possible adoption by his Indonesian stepfather or college application and tuition financial aid records which would reveal whether Obama was ever registered as a foreign student.
Federal Election Commission records show more than $1,650,000 in payments made by Obama for America to Perkins Coie, while the law firm was representing Obama in various court cases which have sought to obtain Obama’s long-form birth certificate to determine if he is a “natural born” citizen
The FEC allows elected officials to use campaign funds to pay legal fees only if the action/investigations arise as a result of their tenure in office or campaigns, according to Politico.
The following is information was compiled by FReeper Starwise from the official Federal Elections Commission website for disbursements by the Obama campaign to the law firm of Perkins Coie, Obama’s primary law firm in various eligibility suits:
Year-End 2008 Obama for America disbursements to Perkins Coie were: $173,052.52
Amended post-general election Obama for America disbursements to Perkins Coie were: $205,323.00
April 2009 Obama for America quarterly disbursements to Perkins Coie were: $688,316.42
July 2009 Obama for America quarterly disbursements to Perkins Coie were: $270,754.18
October 2009 Obama for America quarterly disbursements to Perkins Coie were: $314,018.06
January 2010 Obama for America quarterly disbursements to Perkins Coie are not yet available.
The official FEC website, to which the Obama and other campaigns must report their financial activity, must be taken by even the most skeptical among us as valid documentation of the reported $1.4 or $1.8, or anything in between, figure that the Obama campaign has spent to hide Barack Obama’s questionable background from the American People.
Now that Bauer is safely tucked away in the White House, Obama has resorted to illegally using Justice Department attorneys to represent him in his ongoing battle to hide his questionable background from the American People.
The use of civil servants to further Obama’s coup d’etat is clearly illegal. Torm Howse, the co-founder, and National Board Director of United Civil Rights Councils of America says the statutory law of the United States Code is extremely clear, even often in multiple ways, that:
a) the Attorney General cannot represent/defend Obama in any challenge that involves a question of his citizenship, for the relevant statutory laws mandate that the AG be on the prosecuting side against Obama, if the AG is involved, at all… In fact, whether intentional or not, Obama and Holder can be hit with “constructive fraud,” at the very least…
b) the AG also *cannot* represent/defend Senators or the Senate body, itself, in these constitutional questions, either… Again, whether intentional or not, you have that “constructive fraud” against the rule of law thing again…
c) there are various statutory standings provided for even “mere” individual Citizens to sue Obama, Congress, etc.
d) Obama’s “Presidential records” are expressly PUBLIC by mandate of simple written law (and, combined with using AG Holder & U.S. Attorneys, i.e., our *taxdollars*, in an expressly-unconstitutional manner, defending Obama in any citizenship issues, then Obama gets to pay back every single red cent of that $1.7+ million spent so far… plus interest and penalties, naturally… plus, getting deported, or imprisoned, or whatever else…).

The vast, overwhelming majority of that money came out of election campaign funds, and majority of cases were to stop the election, stop the Electoral College from voting or stop the Inauguration.

Are you from Perkins Coie?
Most of the funds were used to hide his records from the Public.
Now he has Interpol for that.
President Obama has issued an amendment to Executive Order 12425, designating the international law enforcement agency Interpol as a “public international organization,” thus extending diplomatic immunity to the law enforcement group
The amendment to the Executive Order — which does not need to be put to the senatorial test of “advise and consent” — reads:
“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.”
The text of Section 2(c), which now applies to Interpol states:
“(c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.”
Because of this move by the Obama Administration any and all Interpol offices in the United States cannot be searched due to its status as a diplomatically protected organization. It’s offices are considered sovereign and its files are not subject to legal request, be it by subpoena or discovery.
The website ObamaFile.com notes, “If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the US court system, just hand them over to Interpol until the smoke clears.” It added that Interpol can maintain files on US citizens.
Diplomatic immunity, usually reserved for those who work at diplomatic missions throughout the United States, exempts persons and offices directly connected to foreign governments from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement. It exempts said entities from US taxes and extends this protection to immunity from FOIA requests.
The amendment to Executive Order 12425, signed by Obama on December 17, 2009, declared Interpol records immune from search and seizure, “The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.”
By virtue of this declaration, any information that Interpol may have on political operatives or elected officials in the US — including SEIU president Andy Stern, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and President Obama himself — would be immune from any attempts to bring the information to light.

Response to Comment:
Didn’t you get the memo that Alinsky attacks don’t work here?
Obama has published the OFFICIAL birth certificate of Hawaii, which shows that he was born in Hawaii, and the facts on it were repeatedly confirmed by the officials in Hawaii, members of a Republican governor’s administration.
=============================
Response to comment:
The birth certificates posted by WhiteHouse.gov, the Daily Kos AND factcheck.org have been proven to be FAKES…..
Even the Hawaiian officials are refusing to exhibit the Original birth certificate; only they have “seen it”……
You want to try that again stating you know this to be true?
=================
WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING?
WHY does he need Interpol to hide any information about him? Any information Interpol has is NOW considered “invoilable” by Obama’s Executive Order 12425……in other words freedom from scrutiny, Freedom of Information Act, et.al. Therefore anyone wanting to protect something will give it to Interpol until the “smoke clears” or any inquisition has ceased to exist.
Re: ‘Most of the funds were used to hide his records from the Public. ”
That is NOT true. All the lawsuits before the election were to stop the election. Of these virtually none even asked to see his birth certificate; they simply asked that a court stop the election due to allegations that Obama was born in Kenya.
The same after the election. Virtually all the lawsuits were to stop the Electoral College from voting, the Congress from certifying the election or the Inauguration. The remaining cases allege that Obama was not a citizen due to his father’s citizenship, or call for Obama to release his kindergarten records or the records of his housing while at college.
Not one of the lawsuits against Obama was just for his birth certificate or just for records.
Obama has, by the way, shown the official birth certificate of Hawaii, and the facts on it were twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii, members of a Republican governor’s administration.
When someone sues you, you have to defend or you lose. Thus, when someone sued to stop the election, he had to defend, and the same for the lawsuits to stop the Electoral College, the certification of the election, etc. When someone sues to get your college records, and they have no right to see your college records, you certainly have a right to defend that case.
And, as I said before, the VAST majority of this money came out of campaign contributions.

Re: And, as I said before, the VAST majority of this money came out of campaign contributions.
And YOU know this to be true and factual…… HOW?
==================
Re: Of these virtually none even asked to see his birth certificate.
That statement by YOU is NOT TRUE. Requests were made to see the birth certificate BEFORE the election on November 4, 2008.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barack Hussein Obama flat-out refuses to show the one document that would confirm or deny his true identity, parentage, and birth origin — his original, “vault” birth certificate.
In March 2008, a lawsuit was filed to remove John McCain, the GOP candidate, from the ballot because his natural-born status was also in doubt. John McCain immediately responded by showing his actual, original birth certificate to Congress.
On June 12, 2008, about three months after John McCain settled his eligibility issue, the pressure on Obama to do the same led to the release of what was called his “original birth certificate” — an image copy, not a paper copy, by his campaign, not by himself, to the Daily Kos blog, not to Congress, or to anyone even remotely responsible for vetting him.
Moreover, what Obama submitted for “release,” was not an image copy of his original birth certificate as claimed. It was an abbreviated transcript of a birth record called a “Certification of Live Birth.” HOWEVER, the image itself was a fabricated forgery intended to mimic this transcript. Since a forged birth document cannot represent a true birth record, it means that someone committed forgery just to keep Obama’s actual birth record from ever being known.
Go here and read.

Re: “campaign contributions.
And YOU know this to be true and factual…… HOW?”
Because the vast number of lawsuits occurred before the election and most of the remainder occurred before Obama became president. Thus whatever money was spent (and some was done by the lawfirms on a pro bono basis) could only have come from the funds contributed by the campaign.
Re: “HOWEVER, the image itself was a fabricated forgery intended to mimic this transcript.”
IF the image of the birth certificate had been forged, you would think that the FBI or the Hawaii police or the McCain campaign would have said something. Only two guys who will not give their rel names, and whose expertise at document forensics is unknown, have claimed that the image is forged.
Instead, the facts on the birth certificate have been twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii. Moreover, there is even a witness who recalls being told of Obama’s birth in Hawaii in 1961 (because she wrote about the unusual event of a birth to a woman named Stanley to her father, also named Stanley http://www.buffalonews.com/494/story/554495.html).
This is what the Wall Street Journal said about the birth certificate: “Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn.”
Re: ” Requests were made to see the birth certificate BEFORE the election on November 4, 2008.”
I said VIRTUALLY none. There was a lawsuit against Hawaii for the birth certificate, but that was not a lawsuit against Obama and he did not participate in it so there was no funds spent by him. The Berg lawsuit did ask that the document be shown to the court. But of dozens of lawsuits asking to stop the election or stop the Electoral College or stop the Inauguration, virtually none asked for the birth certificate to be shown to a court. And, of course, there were NO lawsuits only for the birth certificate.
Response:
WHO do you work for……sounds like Perkins Coie.
Re: “Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. To WHOM?
Re:there were NO lawsuits only for the birth certificate. That is laughable.
Do you practice “double speak”?……maybe you should be a politician.
Re: “Even the Hawaiian officials are refusing to exhibit the Original birth certificate; only they have “seen it”……
Sure, that is the way that it works with all the birth certificates in Hawaii. The original is maintained in the file and is never released to anyone. Hawaii only releases the new short-form birth certificate to anyone, and then only to a select list of people who could be affected. Hawaii released the short-form Certification of Live Birth to Obama in 2007. However, Hawaii’s officials have repeatedly said that that facts on the original in the files confirms that the Certification is accurate regarding Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
Response:
McCain showed his……where is Obama’s?
Even the Democratic National Committee never saw Obama’s birth certificate.
So how did they know he was a “natural born citizen” of the United States?
His father was Kenyan and even Obama admits his father was a BRITISH CITIZEN ; hence NOT a NATURAL BORN citizen.
How can you argue a moot point?
A “natural CITIZEN” is NOT a NATURAL BORN citizen. Have to have BOTH parents as American citizens to avoid ursurpers as President.
Re: “His father was Kenyan and even Obama admits his father was a BRITISH CITIZEN ; hence NOT a NATURAL BORN citizen.”
ALL citizens born in the USA are Natural Born Citizens. The original meaning of Natural Born is simply “born in the country.” Obama was born in Hawaii, as his official birth certificate shows.
The meaning of “natural born” stems from the common law and the laws in the colonies at the time of the Revolution. Natural Born meant “born in the country” (except for the children of foreign diplomats). The word Naturalize comes from Natural Born, meaning to make someone who was not born in the country like someone who was born in the country.
That is why such prominent conservative Senators who are also lawyers as Orren Hatch and Lindsay Graham say that a Natural Born Citizen is simply one who was born in the USA:
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), said:
“Every child born in the United States is a natural-born United States citizen except for the children of diplomats.” (December 11, 2008 letter to constituent)
Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT), said:
“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)
===========================
Response:
I’d like to add to these, Perkins v. Elg, the importance of which is that it actually gives examples of what a “natural born citizen” of the U.S. is; what a “citizen” of the U.S. is; and what a “native born citizen” of the U. S. is.
In this case, the U. S. Supreme Court found that a “natural born citizen” is a person who is born of two U.S. citizen parents AND born in the mainland of U.S.
Finally it should be noted, that to define a term is to indicate the category or class of things which it signifies. In this sense, the Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof.”
Hence every U.S. Citizen must accept this definition or categorical designation, and fulfill his constitutional duties accordingly. No member of Congress, no judge of the Federal Judiciary, no elected or appointed official in Federal or State government has the right to use any other definition; and if he does, he is acting unlawfully.
This chart clearly demonstrates the requirements for each class of American citizenship.
Re: “This chart clearly demonstrates the requirements for each class of American citizenship.”
This chart is wrong.
The original meaning of Natural Born, the one that applies to Obama, simply means “born in the country.” [NO PROOF; COLB’s posted are FAKE.]
“Natural born citizen. Persons who are born within the jurisdiction of a national government, i.e. in its territorial limits, or those born of citizens temporarily residing abroad.” — Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition.
