Michael Moore: "Wall Street Has Their Man And His Name Is Barack Obama"
RealClearPolitics ^ | December 7, 2011

MICHAEL MOORE, ON CNN: Well, "The Washington post" three weeks ago had this investigation and they said that President Obama has now raised more money from Wall Street and the banks for this election cycle than all -- than all eight Republicans combined. I don't want to say that, because if that's the truth, that Wall Street already has their man and his name is Barack Obama, then we've got a much bigger problem.

But I think President Obama, if he were here in the room, the question I would ask him is why are they your number one contributors? Why are you taking this money?

MORGAN: It's fascinating to find out why they're doing it. I'll ask him.

MOORE: What are they expecting in return in the second term from you? Right now, here's what we do know. Goldman Sachs was your number one contributor the 2008 election. And we have not seen anyone from Goldman Sachs go to jail. We have not seen

I don’t care who the messenger is; if the message is true, I applaud him for saying it.

So it's settled fact! Moore is Fat, Dumb, Stupid, and takes no reponsibilities whatsoever for his flawed insight and advice to the American populace.

Moore took Obama to the prom. You'd think he'd show some spine and finish out the night with dignity. It's like he and Mathews are in a race to regret or something?

I don’t know, but I don’t see Obama carrying even Illinois without 110% support from those clowns.

A couple of other things he said to Piers Morgan last night:

He is not a member of the 1%, because he has only had a handful of multi-million dollar earning years in his life. Most years, he claims, he makes very little. This is the house he lives in. Even if it weren't he is outright lying, unless he gives all of his royalty checks away to the cause.

Frank Luntz is a top policy guy for the right. Lutz is a pollster, and a frequent Hannity guest. Unless you are a regular FOX News viewer (something experience on this website has told me most conservatives are not), you have probably never heard of him.

Occupy Wall Street has been successful because unnamed "Conservative bigshots" are supposedly telling their followers to stop using the word "capitalism." Apparently OWS has succeeded in making the word toxic for the first time in 400 years.

The right is terrified of him. (falling over on the couch and and smothering a baby)

So when Michael Moore wants to capatalize an upcoming film project, he goes to Occupy Street for investors, or Wallstreet for investors?

“President Obama, if he were here in the room, the question I would ask him is why are they your number one contributors?”

Because the average ‘occupyidiocy’ types have no money!
