Lou Dobbs quits CNN (Clinton News Network)

Mr. Dobbs has been with CNN since its founding, save for a two-year stint at a Web site called Space.com. He has evolved over the years from a straight-laced business anchor to an outspoken commentator who rails against illegal immigration and taxpayer bailouts, among other subjects.

Lately, though, he has saved most of his opinions for his afternoon radio show, which made its debut in March 2008. It is on the radio show that he talked repeatedly about the conspiracy theory claims that President Obama is not a United States citizen. When he mentioned the citizenship issue on CNN over the summer, his bosses were forced to call it a “dead issue.”

Uh-oh, now we know why he was pushed out.

I for one am sad to see Lou Dobbs leave the network, whatever the reason. He was a breath of "fresh air" compared to some of the other anchors on that network (IMO). Best of luck to him.

I like Lou, but if he was hanging onto that silly notion about the State of Hawaii lying about Obama's birth than i have to wonder if his chain smoking has addled his brain

i wish him luck
