I used to like Dobbs too, because, unlike Cenk, he had the guts to take on Corporate America and corporate crime. Cenk is more in tune with the multi-culti left, not the populist economic left like David Sirota and Senators Byron Dorgan and Jim Webb. Dobbs has the guts to have Sirota, Nader, and Bernie Sanders on his show to stand up to Corporate America.

 If you like both the multi-cultis and the populists, then Dennis Kucinich is your man, he's BOTH.

 Anyway, Dobbs is one of the very few in popular big media who dares take on Wall Street. I love that. But you are right, his senseless bashing at poor Mexican illegals is just plain wrong. Like American workers, they are the victims of NAFTA and CAFTA too, its not their fault. Forget the stupid fences, go after the real criminals, the agri-businesses and hotel-restaurant chains that exploit these people. REPEAL NAFTA and other exploitive deals so average Mexican people can make an ok living in Mexico and are not FORCED to immigrate. Sure, some people want to, but the vast majority leave Mexico only because they have to - I mean, who wants to leave their friends and family and homeland behind?

But most importantly, Dobbs is DEAD WRONG on Obama's stance on the energy crisis. Obama has REPEATEDLY CALLED for the ONE THING which will bring real relief to the American people - PROPER REGULATION of the COMMODITIES MARKETS and HEDGE FUNDS which will STOP the RAMPANT SPECUALTION!

Obama is absolutely RIGHT on this - its SPECULATION by the big banks and hedge funds that are driving the price up astromonically, probably more than 60% of the current price! THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF OIL! Many of these futures contracts are OTC (over the table) or controlled by the hedge funds, hence, NOT regulated!! 

These speculators are ROBBING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BLIND and Obama is at least trying to stand up to them, and Obama has said this many times at many rallies, including one just a few days ago in Georgia.

SO GET A CLUE DOBBS! DRILLING IS A PHONY JOKE,  ten cents less ten years from now! AND OBAMA HAS STOOD UP, and not in the fake way you are over drilling, but in a real way by daring to take on the fat cats. Give Obama credit here.

With REAL REGULATION on oil futures, the price of gas could drop all the way down to $2.50-2.75 in a couple months. Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, etc, etc,

 .............THESE BASTARDS ARE JUST ROBBING US BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

First of all, a message from sunny Arizona - FUCK YOU AND YOUR "POOR MEXICAN ILLEGALS!!!" Now, that being said, I agree with you whole heartedly about punishing the businesses that draw illegal workers - but don't think for one fucking minute that the Illegal population here in the Southwest are "poor mistreated souls". They live like fucking kings on our government cheese, dropping their babies here so they will be citizens, taking jobs that supress wages for everyone else. I wish lou Dobbs would go further in his "attacks" on illegals, because right now no one is doing ANYTHING to stop this invasion! I agree with Dobbs 1000 percent on this issue. :)
