Lou Dobbs walked away from more than $9 million when he quit CNN, ending a long-running clash that boiled over during a debate about President Obama's birth certificate, sources said yesterday.

Dobbs, who will be replaced on the network by veteran Washington political correspondent John King, abruptly announced his resignation on air Wednesday night and offered no clue about what he planned to do next.

But the beginning of the end really came in July, when CNN President Jonathan Klein told Dobbs' staff in a memo to drop so-called birther stories about conspiratorial doubts that Obama was US-born, sources told The Post.

Any time someone tries to say we’re “a nation of laws” ... I say, “if that’s the case, then show me the birth certificate”

I think that you maybe thinking along the same lines as me. I believe he is a resident of New Jersey because there was a rumor here at one time that he was going to run for governor. Notice that his resignation came after a Republican victory for governor in the state. Perhaps he is thinking about a run for senate.

CNNdoesn’t want any discussion of whether Obama might have been born in Kenya. Let’s flood them with that story from hsi 2004 Senate campaign that says he’s Kenyan born.

Didn’t Dobbs say there were two gunshots fired into his home, almost hitting his wife?
