The Associated Press is wrong and Lou Dobbs is right.
This past weekend, the AP published a story entitled "CNN's Dobbs Under Fire for Hosting 'Birthers'".
The AP began their highly critical story on Dobbs: "He's become a publicity nightmare for CNN, embarrassed his boss and hosted a show that seemed to contradict the network's 'no bias' brand."
And what is Dobbs' "crime?" He has said on air that Obama should release his birth certificate and has had on his show guests who suggested Obama was born outside the U.S.
Dobbs does not believe Obama was born outside the U.S., nor does Newsmax. The evidence indicates he was born in Hawaii. But the indisputable fact is that Obama has not released his birth certificate, which the state of Hawaii issues for all citizens born there. The AP implies that Obama has not released a "long version of his birth certificate." But there is no such thing as a long version of a birth certificate.
Instead, Obama's campaign last year released only his Certification of Live Birth from the state of Hawaii, which is a document that offers a summarized version of the birth certificate. Even state residents born outside the U.S. can get one.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, GOP nominee Sen. John McCain quickly released his birth certificate when liberal bloggers raised questions about his eligibility to be president. McCain was born at a military hospital in Panama.
Obama likewise could put the matter to rest by releasing his actual birth certificate, which would show, among other things, the place of his birth and the doctor who performed the birth procedure.
This information is not provided on the Certification of Live Birth.

Really?
First Beck had to bail, now its time for Dobbs to leave ... The Sinking Ship called CNN.
No, there really isn't much evidence at all.
I hope that the attack by the left on Lou Dobb’s will only heighten the awareness of the whole issue. People are beginning to talk about the birth certificate issue.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
I want to know why his records from Occidental, Columbia and Harvard are sealed like some 15 year old felon’s court records. If a Republican had done this, it would be front page news in the NY Times for months...
What is the old Showbiz quote...’any publicity is good publicity.’
The BC is even being ‘tweeted’ about on Twitter.
As important, if not more so, than the birth certificate are his various college and law school applications. I graduated from both Columbia and Harvard and I had to give them every bit of info about me. I bet a dollar to a doughnut that he applied as a foreign student.
Well it's off tho the re edumacation camps for you Dobbs....No one questions the Emporor in Chief. /joking, kind of
Easy, I can tell you why.
a)his GPA is so low ... lower than Bush
b)he did not graduate
c)all of the above
No, worst. It's off to FOX for Dobbs.
We could have the “anti-Christ” in the Oval Office and never know it.
I've never known such incompetence as has been shown by Illinois NEVER vetting this clown & the Feds refusing to investigate.
d) Foreign student?
Orly Taitz, the lawyer who has done so much work on this topic (and who represented Sgt. Cooke in the deployment case) alleges, on her website, that Obama has used up to 39 different Social Security numbers (during his years as a student/community organizer). That is why the double top secret on the transcripts...no link to possible identity theft.
That would be horrible, Dobb's audience would jump 300% overnight.
” I bet a dollar to a doughnut that he applied as a foreign student.”
Well, I haven’t followed this issue as many FReepers have,
but I understand that Hussien had numeous SS#’s so who the heck KNOWS who this clown is.
That could be called politics...but it is the press that I blame the most. They were given a big part of the First Amendment by the Founders so they could keep an eye on the gummint. They have blown it BIG time...
