Lou Dobbs Cites Birther Website For Shady Statistic On First Lady's Vacations

In the fall of 2009, Lou Dobbs left CNN amid a furor over his embrace of conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate. It looks like he didn't learn much from that experience.
Friday, a graphic on Dobbs' Fox Business show cited the right-wing website American Thinker as the source for a figure about Michelle Obama's vacations:
American Thinker has published the writings of Jack Cashill, a shameless birther conspiracy theorist, and hosted Cashill's suggestion that the president's father was not Barack Obama Sr., but Frank Marshall Davis, a writer and labor activist.
Aside from other instances of birther nuttiness, American Thinker has also published prominent white nationalist Jared Taylor and an array of right-wing conspiracy theories: Texas Gov. Rick Perry is in the thrall of radical Islamists, climate scientists are hoaxing the world about global warming, etc.

They are not rich but they come close to the wealthy class. So don't they deserve some of the respect of the top 2%?
I suspect that is not the reason.
FReepers complain about the cost of the vacations. The Obamas pay their own bills. Except for protection.
She is the FLOTUS!! A woman called "wookie". She needs all the security this nation can provide.
And Shasa and Malia the FCOTUS. I choke up at that. The First Children Of The United States.
"Just waiting for their first abortion" the FReepers say.
They need the security this nation can provide to keep them away from insane nutty people who can and will do them harm.
Go have a nice vacation first family and please don't clear any brush.
PS. Oh yeah... the reason for the objection of the Dobbs and FReepers is ... they are democrat and black
