Lou Dobbs: "I Cannot Say Never" On Presidential Bid

As Democrats and Republicans battle for their parties' presidential nominations, speculation grows that an independent candidate might jump into the race. While the most frequently mentioned prospect is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, another name also is getting increasing mention: Lou Dobbs, CNN's fuming voice for the disaffected.

"At this point, Dobbs is the only man in the country that would have a shot at making a historic independent run, and winning," says William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, an influential grass-roots group that favors strict enforcement of immigration laws, a favorite subject of Mr. Dobbs's.

Mr. Dobbs says he isn't planning to run. "I haven't got the personality or nature to be a politician," he said in an interview Thursday. But he makes clear he hasn't ruled out the idea. "I cannot say never," he said.

The day a baby faced pussy like you can be president of the United States is the day I move to Tahiti. You are as arrogant as you are stupid. Just because you have fired up some nutbag rightwing nutjobs about illegal aliens doesn't make you worth a crap.

Lou Dobbs has morphed of late from a financial news reporter/commentator to a blow hard Johnny-One-Note spewing his anti-immigration hot air on CNN. He professes to be a friend of the beleagered middleclass, yet never once mentions the Federal Reserve's hand in irresponsibly flooding the market with paper money to stave off rescession thereby created the terrible inflation that has plagued the wage-stagnated working men and women of this country.

Watch out for this demigogue. He has ambitions far beyond anchoring an hour's worth of half truths and fear mongering.
