Politico: Departing CNN host and rumored 2012 presidential candidate Lou Dobbs is attacking President Barack Obama’s reported plan to commit the United States to emission standards reduction by asking “who the hell” Obama thinks he is.

Obama will attend an international climate change conference in Copenhagen later this month and according to reports will announce a target for greenhouse gas emission in the United States.

Dobbs was talking about the upcoming conference with Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) on his radio show Monday when he interrupted Inhofe to ask “Senator, this begs the question if I may put it forward right now. Who the hell does this president think he is?” [ READ MORE ]

Ref: The Daily Beast — Is Lou Dobbs Too Mean To Be President? Former colleagues at CNN tell Lloyd Grove that Lou Dobbs managed through intimidation, picked on subordinates’ weaknesses, and flew into rages. Given what Dobbs calls his “nature,” could he survive a race? Dobbs “wasn’t sexist at all. He was as mean to the women as he was to the men.” [ READ MORE ]

Beck’s take on Obama’s Afghanistan strategy: “This is not ping pong, it’s a death match.“

Rush declares that Obama thinks that “people that want to kill us” “have a point.”

The New GOP War Cry: “The STIMULUS Has Failed!”

MediaMatters: Contradicting broad economic consensus, right-wing media use jobs summit to declare stimulus has failed — Right-wing media figures have used the upcoming White House jobs summit to claim that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has failed to stimulate the economy and thus that the Obama administration should not continue to pursue such policies. In fact, a broad consensus of economists have agreed that the Recovery Act has boosted gross domestic product and reduced unemployment in recent months; moreover, numerous economists have stated that the ARRA’s flaw was that it was not large enough, and that additional federal stimulus is needed to continue the economic recovery.

CNN, the enabler of “birther,” anti-immigrant, anti-Hispanic bigot, Lou Dobbs, will not air the “Drop Dobbs” ad (below) during the “Latino in America” series next week.

Tell CNN To Drop Hate-Monger Dobbs

Having it Both Ways — CNN wants us to watch “Latino in America,” but they’re still broadcasting Lou Dobbs?

From Presente.ORG:

In just one week, CNN will launch its “Latino in America” series, which tells the stories of Latinos from across the country. There’s just one thing missing: Lou Dobbs. That’s right. Four hours about the Latino experience in America, and not a word about the man who spends every weeknight telling lies about immigrants, and spreading hatred and fear about Latinos.

Together with award-winning filmmaker Arturo Perez, we’re calling out CNN’s hypocrisy with a powerful new video: “CNN: Lou Dobbs or Latinos in America?” Please watch the video and add your voice to the more than 50,000 others already demanding that CNN dump Dobbs. And then spread the word to your friends and family.

Our campaign against Lou Dobbs is clearly getting to him – he’s railed against us on his radio show, and rumors are now swirling that he’s looking for other jobs at more conservative networks. Now is the time to keep the pressure on. We’re trying to gather as many signatures as we can before “Latino in America” airs on Oct. 21-22. Will you join us, and share this action with your friends and family? It only takes a moment:

Take Action Against Dobbs — http://bastadobbs.com/video/?mid=1751-27240

Thank you and Adelante!
