Why I'm concerned?

First, I am not a wacko and I don't think his document he released is fake. In fact when I tried to order my daughter's birth certificate from some third party site, they sent me the short form document. I was a dumb victim of a google search trying to get my daughters birth certificate after I had moved from the state. Now I'm a little wiser on the actual process to get the long form birth certificate.

With that said, I don't know why Pres. Obama is spending a million dollars to fight lawsuits when he can spend no more than $20 and the cost of postage to get a long form birth certificate from the Hawaiian Government. Either he is an idiot (which I doubt), he has some pride and arrogance issues, or worst case scenario he is not a US citizen. That is a hefty price to pay for pride, which is concerning to me as a citizen of the United States. Do we want a President that will waste our taxpayer dollars just because he's upset at some allegations against him? $20 or $1 million to settle an issue...seems like a no brainer. I thought he believed in transparency, in bringing the country together...please get rid of the pride and show the long form birth certificate.
