She will not even be there.... what makes you think she will be present?
What makes you think she won't?
so, then how do you explain the treatment Joe Arpaio and his investigators received....
he's no paypal dentist!
Other than that, no he was a Senator who had suddenly burst upon the scene

Pretty much any other person that's held the post since the requirement of citizenship was instituted had a know history and verifiable background.

Obamas past isn't a mystery. The only people that think that are gullibles too lazy to do their own research. The guy has been in some sort of the public eye for decades.
Obama on TV 20 years ago...... when he was still at Harvard....OoOo how mysterious.

Obama perpetuated this. Why did he spend untold millions of US tax payer dollars fighting this instead of just allowing Hawaii to release his birth certificate? Why did it have to take the course it did? His actions of trying to block access to his records fueled the controversy.

"untold millions" is right. That is a birther lie. Obama does not have the power to order a state to release the property of that state. He's not a king or a dictator.

He didn't block access to his records any more than YOU have.

Provide proof that money was spent on other legal matters aside from him fighting in court the concealing of his birth records.
It's clear to us that the WND story has been twisted to wrongly assume that every dollar the Obama campaign spent on legal fees went to fight the release of Obama's birth certificate. The evidence shows that's simply not true. It's a huge, unsubstantiated leap to assume that all, or most, of that was related to lawsuits about Obama's citizenship. We rule Trump's claim False
None of the eligibility lawsuits could have been settled with the release of documents. They were dealt with in the most cost-effective way, a motion to dismiss. No records have been sealed as a result of any of these lawsuits. The legal fees spent by Obama defending frivolous lawsuits is not the hugely inflated number rumored on the Internet, nor are there any indication of large expenses on the part of the government.

So that leaves the funds paid to Perkins Coie. Trump's and Palin's claims assume that the vast majority of the money paid to Perkins Coie since the election was used to defend against lawsuits challenging Obama's citizenship. We agree that some amount of money was spent in legal fees related to those lawsuits -- the letter from Bauer to the plaintiff is an example of that. But, while we don't know exactly how much the Obama camp spent on their private lawyers, there were many, many non-birth-certificate duties that a law firm typically handles in the wake of a presidential campaign, which suggests that any birth certificate work was a small percentage of the overall fees paid to Perkins Coie.
