Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs has acknowledged he is considering a run for the White House in 2012. Dobbs addressed the issue in a radio interview on Fred Thompson’s show.

Fred Thompson: “Lou, one way to have a voice — you’ve already had a big one, but another way to have a voice is in public service. Have you given any thought to perhaps running for president?”

Lou Dobbs: “I’m talking — yes is the answer. And I’m going to be talking some more with some folks who want me to listen to them in the next few weeks. You know, I — so I just don’t even what to tell you in terms of where I’m leaning, because right now I’m fortunate to have a number of wonderful options. I do know this: I’m going to have the best advice. I may make a terrible decision, but I’m going to have great advice.”

Lou Dobbs resigned from CNN earlier this month. A coalition of Latino groups recently led a campaign for his removal from CNN over his alleged anti-Latino bias in covering immigration reform.
