Who is this Michael Moore person and why should I (or anyone else for that matter) care what his opinion is?

Wasn't he in the "X-Men Origins" movie?

The "Big Three" auto makers have long been global multi-national companies.
Why should the American taxpayer subsidize any of them?

(rhetorical question not directed at you, griswold3)

Never thought there would be a day that I agreed with him on something..... I feel bad now.

It's only because Moore hates capitalism (except when he makes his money) more than he loves liberalism.

Yep, Obama isn’t far enough to the left even for Moore.

An amazing closing of the circle. Roger Moore first became famous with his documentary Roger and Me, lamenting the fall of Flint (and by extension Detroit) MI. For him to put the Obama on the wrong side of that circle is not a good sign for BHO.

Wasn’t Roger Moore the British actor?

Michael (lard @ss) Moore of Michigan is the one who did Roger & Me.

Damn you Obama! You made me have to agree with Michael Moore. Now I feel dirty.

His most honest film was Live and Let Lie.

I have never read so much garbage in one sitting! Good grief! This Moore fella is really one sick pup. For him to be getting ‘nervous’ about Michigan, tells me that there’s a swelling undercurrent of ‘cleansing’ that’s going to drag all of this filth away from their positions of power and influence, come November 6th.

I was embellishing the story for fun but her invitations to MSNBC and others stopped flowing once she challenged Pelosi in her primary. I remember Rush joking about it. Looks like she was never invited back.

Cindy Sheehan qualifies to run for Pelosi's seat Says speaker's 'failed to hold George Bush and Dick Cheney accountable'(Tucker Carlson segment on MSNBC 2008)

MSNBC fired Ugar Cyenk and replaced him with Al Sharpton for being critical of Obama from the left. Ugar is on a yotube video talking about it.

Think nothing of it.

I for one am happy to see the gun manufacturers doing well; it is an indication of so much more...

“City of Detroit (90% black) is continuously being ‘saved’ by government stealing from taxpaying white Americans to dole out to parasites.”

I thought Detroit was the poster child for the follow-up to “If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you will always have the support of Paul”, which I guess is “If you rob Peter to pay Paul, it gets harder & harder to find Peter”.

Whites have abandoned most cities to blacks here in NJ, and now illegal aliens are starting to fill them (displacing the blacks in the process - politically, economically, demographically). The state has run out of white people’s money to pour into the cities, resulting in Newark laying off hundreds of cops and Camden (one of the country’s most dangerous cities) laying off all of them.

He saved the green and renewable energy movement by radically increasing the automotive industry’s...scratch that...the government’s CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards which are to be met by 2025 at 54.5 MPG.

However, look at what the automotive companies are selling and it’s mostly full-size pickups and SUV’s.

Where’s your Chevy Volt now, Obama? Wherever you thought WE were supposed to be going with it isn’t where the vast majority of car buyers are going.

Automotive engine-fuel technology is not broken and you couldn’t fix it even if it was.
