U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., is upset with CNN’s Lou Dobbs for airing segments on the legitimacy of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Grijalva and Dobbs already disagree on the hot-button issue of immigration, with the Arizona Democrat favoring some kind of legal path or amnesty for illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and Dobbs taking a tougher approach.

Dobbs’ CNN show has aired segments focusing on Obama’s birth certificate, which shows the president was born in Hawaii. There has been speculation, especially on the Internet, questioning the validity of that document, with unsubstantiated rumors that Obama was not born in the U.S. and thus cannot legally serve as president.

Grijalva took the CNN host to task on Monday.

“It is disheartening to see a news network giving legitimacy to what should be a nonstory,â€

[quote="FedUpinFarmersBranch"] Lou Dobbs and those like him should concentrate on issues that actually concern the American people, like health care reform, the economy and the environment.â€

well from what i remember, the story had mostly gone to whatever is posted online in stories and really wasnt a news event anymore.
That all changed when the US Army Reserve Major in GA brought the lawsuit and that is what made it a story again for a few days.

hey Raul, people are allowed to dissent and disagree,
its called being an american and the first amendment RIGHT
