What a phoney CNN's Lou Dobbs is over Obama.

[Life Long Dem]

Here is a guy that everyday (appears to) on his show fights for the middle class. Yet here he is going nuts for an apology from Obama over the bitter comment and relating it to his true feelings about the middle class.

Here are excerpts when "apology" was brought up about Obama.

ANNOUNCER: This is LOU DOBBS TONIGHT, news, debate and opinion for Monday April 14. Live from New York, Lou Dobbs.

DOBBS: Good evening, everybody. The battle for the Democratic nomination tonight is nastier than ever. Senator Obama refusing to apologize for calling small town Pennsylvania voters "bitter people who cling to their guns and religion." Obama instead blasted senators Clinton and McCain on issues such as free trade.

DOBBS: You're correct, of course, Bill, that it is an issue of class. But, it is also a fundamental issue of identity, here. He is taking on working men and women and their families across this country, and doing so, you know, without apologizing. I have watched national news organizations today say this man apologize. Senator Obama has not apologized. Why not?

SCHNEIDER: Well, I don't know. I mean, I'm afraid he has to answer that. And a lot of people do think they're owed an apology for what he said. He did try to disconnect the two by indicating that he has respect for the values, traditional values of people who are religious and who own guns. But, no, he has not issued anything that sounds like an apology.

DOBBS: Yeah, it is strange indeed. And it is strange, we have been talking about this business of the have another pillow, Senator Obama, in the way he's being treated in the national media, but today a number of news organizations say the man apologized when he point- blank did not. Do you find that amazing?

SCHNEIDER: Well, I can't -- news organizations often do amazing things. I just can tell you that I have not heard the words "apology" or "sorry." I'm sure he intends to. But, I think at the very least there should be an explanation forthcoming about what his views on these issues really are and whether he really does have respect for those values that he seemed to treat as irrational in his remarks at the fund-raiser.

DOBBS: Senator Obama's critics say his remarks about bitter people and small town America confirm Obama's nothing less than elitist. Obama acknowledges he didn't express himself as well as he should have, but Obama so far hasn't apologized. Lisa Sylvester has our report from Washington.

ZIMMERMAN: And it's about credibility. That's what it will come down in this election. For Barack Obama to come back on track he has to step up and apologize for his statements and understand how divisive they were and start focusing consistently on a real message and real issues.

DOBBS: And time for one last e-mail. Kathy in Indiana wrote in to say that, "Now that Obama has shown his true feelings about the middle class, gun owners and average people, I think it's time he step down and let Hillary reunite the Democratic Party."

1. Yet he couldn't even break 50% in his lame little push poll about it.

I think Lou is jealous of Barack.

2. I don't watch that show; never have.........

Lou Dobbs did the Immigrants are a Wedge issue all by his lonesome. I don't give him that kind of power. If everyone turn off their TeeVee sets and stopped watching this garbage, they would notice. It's not like they get that many viewers anyways, and all it would take a is couple of thousand slide in viewership, and they'd be out like flint. It's cable, so they can measure a drop of viewers each and every day. Since it is us folks that are into politics that watch these cartoon characters, we should really have better control of them. As it is, we watch like we would a car wreck!

6. I hear you.

And I'm done with him.

I wrote him last Thursday about "the war on the middle class" and his stance with Obama and wanted to see the transcript for yesterday. At least I gave him my two cents.

8. I can't believe he got away with what he did during the strike.

I mean, if you're going to set yourself up as a champion of the middle class worker, how on Earth can you cross not just *one* picket line but two? (Maybe three. I can't remember if he did the Daily Show off the top of my head. I know he did Conan and Colbert though).

He only care about the American worker when the job is perceived as lost to an immigrant.

On Edit: Just checked and he did The Daily Show, the Colbert Report AND Conan.

3. Lou Dobbs is an @sshole. The people that watch his show would never vote for Obama anyway so it does

not matter.

4. I've long suspected Lou Dobbs is an asshole n/t

[symbolman]

5. I always thought that if he fell down and cut himself open

that hundreds of thousands of Little Lou Dobbs would spill out..

Personally I refer to him as an "Oomphaloompha" , always so fucking ORANGE..

Who does his make up anyway? Besides the guy is a Racist and Xenophobe bigtime, his rants are just cover..

7. Mr. "I *heart* the American Worker" couldn't cross enough picket lines during the writers strike

He's completely full of shit. He sold the writers on strike out for a chance to plug his book.

10. Lou Dobbs is bitter personified.

At least that's what he plays on the teevee.

Nothing more to that slug than..."bitter."
