(Video) On Tuesday, we noted that CNN host Lou Dobbs was doing his part to keep alive the conspiracy theory that President Obama is not an American citizen (AKA the "birther" theory).

Lou Dobbs is a contemptible journalist, but he isn't a birther, it is clear. The article doesn't admit this. Lou Dobbs obviously doesn't understand that what is offered as a birth certificate is the only birth certificate there is.
