MY LETTER TO CNN ON LOU DOBBS.
62LOU DOBBS ... DOUBTS THE PRESIDENT'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE:
LOU DOBBS THE DIVIDER.
Sometime ago, I had received a notice in my in-box to sign a petition to CNN, and I decided to write a message in the optional message box to Jon Klein, the President of CNN. I will say this, I have no problem with people that do not agree with the president. That actually is a good thing for America. I do not agree with everything he does -- or will not do -- myself, but the scary scenes by the Birthers and some Tea Party People are really hiding something else.
I could have just signed the petition, and let my name say it all, but I had to say something, because there are lawmakers pretending to believe President Obama was not born in America even though they all have the proof. I had to change some of the wording from the actual letter .... Yes, Lou Dobbs has been gone for some time, still, I thought I should Hub my letter, to CNN, below.
The Letter.
It is scary what Lou Dobbs is doing. I start to wonder why a man like Mr. Dobbs would be so reckless by pretending President Obama has never produced a birth certificate stating he -- the president -- was born in the U.S.A..
Pandering to some crazies in his TV audience can quiet frankly get the president killed by those who are fanatics about the president being Black, by grabbing onto this fake issue. It is a great -- though sad -- cover for their true feelings.
If they need an excuse to get rid of President Obama they have it from CNN's un-bias reputation, though they are listening to the very bias Mr. Lou Dobbs. He seems to hate people who are not white. Sorry, that is just the way I see it. I am sure I am not the only person who believes this. I just am shocked that CNN is sponsoring these lies though.
Why is it that Lou Dobbs is not telling the truth? Is he really willing to risk our president's life for ratings? Does he really hate the fact that a Black man became the president of this country? The ratings must be great or CNN would get rid of this guy. I am going to stop watching all of your other shows including the great specials. I cannot trust you to speak the truth if you allow Mr. Dobbs to lie.
Lou Dobbs has the proof all around him at CNN. When he was out his fill-in reported none of this birth certificate issue was true, yet he comes back on and states differently. As if he does not even watch his own show ....
Mr. Dobbs job is to speak the truth to his audience not go along with beliefs that comes from their pathetic fears of a Black president governing this country.
It scares me how Lou Dobbs and most at CNN are pretending that some in their audience does not hate Obama solely, because he is Black and had the nerves to run for, win, and become the President of the U.S.A.
Mr. Dobbs should go against President Obama's policies not his race. I honesty do believe Mr. Dobbs is a racist hiding behind CNN's great reputation. It is nothing like hearing people say, "No, I saw it on CNN not Fox News." CNN's reputation is a bit tarnished now thanks to Lou Dobbs.
This letter was written to CNN a little before Lou Dobbs decided not to renew his contract.
After Taking The Poll.

I would never vote for him. But I might vote for Donald Trump.
Thanks N.E., yet again, you hit the bull's eye with this article. And I agree with you, if we stop watching/supporting Lou Dobbs, then hopefully they will get rid of him. He seems to be like a tumor. voted up and awesome. (N.E., I sent you an important email, let me know when you recieve it).
I'd like to think the newly released long-form birth certificate will suffocate this non-issue, but you're right: those who've been yelling the loudest and the longest that Obama was not born in the US have known all along their claims were a lie. They're just upset that the world has changed. It's a new, biracial America, an America in which people of many races will have to share power. Unfortunately, the birth record probably won't shut them up. Sometimes it makes you feel like you're going crazy, doesn't it? Just the other day McCain, who surely is old enough to know better, was actually talking about killing a foreign head of state, like that's a morally acceptable (or legal under U.S. law) option. It's just ... nutty. Everyone should be in a furor over THAT.
(Sorry for the rant. Got carried away.)
Glad I got to read your work!
Not taking a postion on the content, just wanted to say good Hub.
Enjoyed Your Hub. God Bless You.
You know it shocks me that so many so-called educated, degree waving knuckle draggers like Dobb reduce themselves to hate when all else fails. Hate speak and political rhetoric have become part of the norm in our nation and it's a sad state of affairs.
Learned folk are supposed to be a civil lot, diplomatic, who act with decorum no matter what the reason. The election of this Black man has sent these fools into a tailspin.
Dobb's is no better than the sheet wearing dregs of society who rail against any person who is not of their race. Just as the Lord said about the poor, we will always have these neanderthals with us, either hiding behind a pillow case and sheets or suited in the best of Armani. A knuckle dragging racist is a knuckle dragging racist.

That is such a sad story. I would say it probably happens a lot. Thats like all the shootings and killings you read or see on tv. It doesn't have to be like that. We all can find what we need and want in life. Sometimes, we just have to work much harder then someone else. We all, are equal. And until we can see that, with our own eyes, we'll continue to miss the real beauty of life. As always NE, great writing and best wishes. Happy New Year!
What a great Hub N E! Your such a gifted writer. I agree with you on this subject. Over a hundred plus years, it's so sad to still see racial tensions in this country. I say be proud. No matter what color you are, we all are human. We all have eyes, mouth, ears, yet, only some have a heart. lol
I would hope that Lou is not all things that you suggest. What is in another person's heart is not often easy to calculate. He is controversial , that is sure. I enjoyed your take on it and it is good that you wrote to the network. RJ
N.E., first, this is a good hub and thanks for the follow.
I, too, had problems with the Bush Administration. I also have several problems with Obama's Administration but I can assure you it has nothing to do with his skin color or his lack of a birth certificate. Those that judge this president simply because he's black are just as ignorant as those that judge Southerners as stupid because of geography. Yes, racism is alive in the South but it's small. Most of us hate it because it paints us all with a false brush we simply don't deserve anymore.
Honestly, my lack of respect for Obama's Administration as a whole is due to how they're trying to change this country into something completely different from which the Founding Fathers envisioned. Not Obama's skin color. I would hope I would not be that shallow and pity those that are as simpletons and ignorant.
As for the birthers, they're grasping at straws because they don't like the man and/or his policies. Besides, if it was found that Obama wasn't eligible to run, what do we do? Kick him out and swear in Biden? The first is a Socialist. We can fix that with voting and other proceedings to remove him if necessary. As for Biden, you just can't fix stupid and our vice-president is exactly that - stupid (Webster's definition - acting in an unintelligent or careless manner).
I hope you and your son have a great holiday. Merry Christmas to you both.
N.E, I agree with you that much of the criticism of President Obama is incredibly harsh and very lightly veiled prejudice. That those who speak these feelings are so unaware of how biased their words and opinions are, is pretty astounding. And that they are not humbled or emvarrassed by their words and actions is unbelievable. You have lots of moxy writing that comment to CNN...good for you! Your writing is so REAL!!! That is what is so great about it! Another great and honest, upfront hub, N.E.! Thank you!
Good article. The American people need to start worrying about more important things than where the president was born. I do agree that I would not want the previous administration in office either. My opinion, it does not matter whether it is a democrat or republican in office, they both have their own hidden agenda and making the country better for the middle class and low-income has nothing to do with it.
Thanks for sharing. Teresa
Hello NE, good to meet you through this hub... I appreciate the candor and support for our president. I think Lou saw a few other Fox Noise entertainers making a lot of money by being something other than journalists and authentic news reporters. Money is the lure and greed is the devil.
Great to meet you and become a fan...
Way to go, Dardia...
I believe that the people need to think for themselves. Unfortunately, it makes it difficult when they are fed garbage. When some people think that they are better than others just because of their color or where they are from or even their religion.
President Obama won the election because he cared about our future and believed he could make a difference. He is a very intelligent man and took on a great deal of problems and complicated issues that will take a lot of work and a lot of time, especially with uncooperative people.
I don't care what his skin color is, I don't care where he came from, I don't care what his religion is. I care only that he has the intelligence, the concern, and the intent to make the USA a better place to live than it has been the last decade.
Nice hub!
Singlemom and Tom said it for me. I really thought Obama might make a difference, we got an early vote and my husband and I both rushed out because we liked him and because we were scared as hell Palin's stupid mouth might represent America. He might get rid of Lobbying he hinted which is one of our biggest downfalls but now I am so disappointed it is not even funny and yes he is half white so no one can call him black but that has nothing whatsoever to do with it. I am really starting to fear for this country and we are feeding and giving our, the citizens money, to illegal immigrants and he wants to make them all citizens for their votes! (Also Muslims to worship in schools where it was taken away from us but building rooms for them, well that is another story of mine)You know that is not right. He won't protect our borders? We are billions more in debt. I was sitting at the doctors office yesterday talking to a young black woman and we both agreed these illegal immigrants have brought black and white together as nothing else ever could and we laughed. I know too I had hope for Bush and he was like a czar with the vice president calling the shots if you ask my so I sure am not being prejudice! We need a third party, by the people, we need to start listening to people like Ron Paul! Something has to change, and quick, neither party will pull us out of this because republicans want the Mexicans here for cheap labor for the rich. We lose either way!
I too wonder about the birth certificate but then why don't the republicans or anyone make him show it.And why does no one at that time remember a black baby born to a white woman which would have almost made headlines then. Yes I have read his only proof is his grandmother and she says he was born in Kenya!
What many people fail to understand is, President Obama along with many other past presidents are only men, and men make mistakes. They might do some good here and there. Something else to remember is that they are politicians and you know what they say about politicians. I want this Country to be the best it can be, but in order for that to happen people will need to put skin color aside and focus on others as just being human. Putting President Obama down solely because of his skin color just proves you are no better than a Klansman. It is a shame that our president has to have twice as much extra security because he is African American. Great Hub N.E.
Great Hub, and even better, Lou Dobb's is gone. His problem is he started out a good reporter/commentator then his ego went to his head. President Obama is not perfect, who in this country can say they are qualified to run it, no one. We elect the person who is knowledgeable and strong, it's what he does with it that makes them a great or not so great president, but when you have someone pointing out every detail from how you brush your teach to policy, it's easy to believe he's not a good president, especially when it's repeated over and over again. Fortunately, I don't believe what I hear, I believe the proof is in the pudding. I look it up for myself before I follow along like a cow in a herd.
What Is there to say about the core of a Government that has always had corruption at its root from her conception. Honestly from the time Obama begin to run for office I was surprised. He came from out no where. He was selected to carry the burdens of a very damaged and almost unrepairable Economy. Let's be honest' America was in trouble or going down hill long before he arrived on the seen. This was the perfect timing to vote for a Black Man. I'm not a racist but a realist. I to have many Bloodlines running through my vains . The moment I found out a black man had any chance of becoming President, I knew it was because of America's
Unrepairable state. This country has diminshed her repretation across the World. What better way to restore Her Honor except with the appearance of change. If America is to descend any further. Wouldn't it look better if She reached her lowest disgrace in the hand of a black man. Come on' who can repair the extreme damage done to this economy in just two years? You kidding me right. This was a purposed plan. Obama signed up to run this country at Her most critical stage, with the smelling manure of America dumped in his lap. And he was given two years to clean it up. No' I am not surprise at America's response, look at her history across the globe. History speaks for itself. Obama never had a chance unless he was a miracle worker.
NEW.
Alas here is where we part ways- I have never seen nor have I heard of an independant source authenticating his Cert ification of birth- i have no prob;ems with his color i have issues with 95% of his policies and the democrats shoving their psuedo-socialist-commy agenda down my throat-Obama is a "black politician" i find all the distain of that title in the secondword of the preceding title/phrase "Politician" BHO is an ideolog-he is so driven by his marxist leanings and beliefs he should have never been elected and the birthers have a point- He has never sHOWN AND AUTHENTICATED HIS PROOF-
Sorrt to say but on this point- i cannot yeil. if he had the proof- why wouldn't he get it certified and tell everyone to F - off? I am guessing its because he can't since the mainstream media has not plastered it all over i have to assume he has never done this-
i enjoy your writing keep up your style, passion and flair-

I just wonder about these whole Obama's saga. Even here on hubpages, if you see a forum called "Obama jokes" You will feel pity for the poor president. George Bush brought most of these financial mess America is suffering today, the complaints from fellow citizens was not even up to 40% of the complaints Obama gets right now. He inherited most of the problems and he should of course not to be blamed for some of the issues happening now such as the oil spillage and many more.
Just as majority of you have said here, no one is perfect and just as he is working so hard to correct the inherited problems so also is he working so hard to manage or repair the existing ones. SO give the guy a break instead of mounting more pressure on him by always complaining. I think I agree with you, there is a 'race-thing' happening here. Even if its in a minute measure of magnitude, I still feel that way. George Bush is in no way better than Obama, and if Americans can be patient and understanding with George Bush, then why not Obama. give him more time and lets see what he has to offer in totality. America is a 'too-large' nation to handle and its not easy sitting on the hot sit in the washington white house.
Great hub and I really enjoyed reading it. Hoping to read more of your interesting and passionate hubs.
I agree also with your opinion of Lou Dobbs, I personally have never liked him. I really like your style and I just think poeple need to stop criticizing Obama and give the man a break, he only has the toughest job in America right now. Great hub:) ge
All of CNN's ratings are in the dumps due to the fact they try to slip opinions in without generating a bias...so it's a confusing to most people,Lou Dobbs was bad news;)
Thanks for the invitation to follow you, otherwise, I would be missing out on your penmanship. I love it when passion comes from the heart. I'm north of the U.S. border but since Obama took office, I haven't missed a beat.
Americans needed and need Obama's brilliant mind to get them out of the financial mess they buried themselves into; just as Americans needed no B.S. George Bush to handle the 9/11 crisis. Americans are the bafflement of almost everyone but don't get me wrong. I think Americans baffle even the Almighty God as well.
Strong hub N.E. Wright! I love you passion and especially appreciate your candor. I was never a huge Lou Dobbs fan, but I didn't mind him. I was unaware of some of the information you shared in this hub though, thanks again.
This Hub is very moving, and i like that you exhibit fairness. It is always a good thing to write letters, you may be surprised how much a letter can change a person. It feels good to do your part and have your say! Thank you for broaching this Subject. President Obama and the Obama Family have been an undeserved Gift to Our Nation. No one remembers the last one, didn't do much...spent more time at home, while the War Mongers ran it all...Bless you for Truthing! Write On!
It seems that the only way that the anti-Obama camp can slander Obama is with the tired song "he was not born in America" or the equally tiring one that goes "he's a Muslim". He is human and not perfect, I do not like everything he has done but he is better than what we had.
As for Lou Dobbs, he needs to remember that the President is half white, so how can he have such a racist attitude? I too am not pleased with many things that Obama has said and done, but he is the President and we should respect him. Thanks for sharing!!
Don't take it personally, N.E. As a conservative, I like to hear 'O' speak. I think he has some good ideas. Our problem (the U.S.A.)is that we have a congress that talks more than they act. Bills are too involved and complicated to be passed easily. Pieces are entered as part of a bill which have nothing to do with the issue of the bill so that a Congressman can get something for his constituency. I am not a huge Obama fan even though he is White because he spends too much time and money on vacations and entertaining on my tax dollar. That being said, I think the issue of the birth certificate is that the one which was presented was a certificate which was made several years after he was born. It was supposed to be a copy of the original because the original was destroyed in some sort of disaster. The later one was in a style which was used after a certain year in Hawaii and was not the original. Please don't assume that everyone bases their judgement of people on race. That is the old paradigm and you will continue to attract that if that is what you think. Intelligent people base their judgement on quality of character. Enlightened people often do not judge at all. Namaste - L
Good for you N.E.Wright, I happen to like Obama and think he has a difficult job to do admist the recession and war issues. Obama's skin colour shouldn't be an issue and Lou Dobbs should apoligise publicly.
Obama is really not the guy I thought we were getting but all the silly business needs to stop. Good work!! Peace!! Tom
Have you seen a birth certificate?
