What did Obama say about Lou Dobbs?

[spotbird]

Dobbs seemed pretty hostile, but I missed the story.

[Saturday]

1. Barack said in a rally that Lou had said.....

he "wanted to send them back". Lou says he has never said that. Stupid for Barack to take on Lou Dobbs for no reason.

2. I agree, Barack should not have gone there with Dobbs, because Dobbs has...

the media platform to do him harm even if one doesn't like Dobbs.

3. Lou does want to deport

illegals. There is no overlap between Dobbs supporters and Obama supporters.

[Liquorice]

I can't believe Obama said that. It's very divisive rhetoric. nt

6. I don't think Obama is taking on Lou Dobbs But

Just using him as an example of people who want to deport illegals. If he mis-represented Lou Dobbs position it was most likely a accident. Should he apologize? If Lou continues to request a apology, yes. But, personally, I think Lou is a closet racist.

8. Obama is a moron and liar

Lou Dobbs just said that he NEVER has said to send all illegals back.

Obama has a lot of "splaining to do. Lou just invited him to come on his show and provide more info. If I were Obama....I would do just that.

4. Lou Dobbs was angry?

Like I've never seen that before.

5. Eh, calling that blowhard out on it is fine with me.

7. Lou's loving every second of it. Cry me a river, Lou.

He keeps bringing it up, over and over again.

There's nothing a blow-hard likes more than sharing the limelight with a presidential candidate. It temporarily makes him feel real, real, important.

But Obama may regret it if it forces him to delineate a border policy, because there's nothing clear about that issue. It's all dangerous, and all impossible. I honestly don't have a clue what we should do about the border. I really don't.
