Michael Moore: Obama’s First Term In Office Was A “Disappointment”

DETROIT (WWJ) - Controversial Michigan filmmaker Michael Moore says President Barack Obama is not the person he campaigned for in 2008.

Speaking with Richard Bacon of the BBC, Moore described the President’s first term in office as “heart-breaking” and a “disappointment.”

“He did not come into office like I hoped that he would, to do what Franklin Roosevelt did in his first few months where he came in and said, you know, ‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” Moore said.

Moore said Obama spent the past three years “running the ball in the wrong direction” before making somewhat of a turnaround with a jobs bill and other economic plans.

“Barack Obama came in and said ‘What can I do to help you?’ and every time he attempted to help the Republicans, they just shut the door in his face. He inherited a horrible situation but he spent three years, if we could just go back to the sports analogy, you know, running the ball in the wrong direction,” Moore said.

Moore adds that in the final year of Obama’s presidency, “He’s actually come alive… putting forth jobs bills that make sense now.”

    B.S. During the first 2 years of his administration, both houses of congress were controlled by the democrats. It wasn’t the republicans shutting him down. Rather, it was all rhetoric from the President and no action.

  • cassisanass

    Typical Moore propaganda. He didn’t even have to look at a republican until 2010. Grab another cheeseburger and be real quiet….

  • Rick Douglas

    The jobs bill that Moore is so proud of is nothing more that a political sham. Obama knew that congress would never pass it, and doesn’t even have the full support of democrats in the senate. All it does is give Obama a wedge issue for the election.

  • MAck

    Obama failed becasue he choose to do things the peole DID NOT WANT.

  • alan

    what an ahole. We live in a country that has systems in place to check any one body of the government from become too powerful. I am sure this idiot would rather live under a dictatorship of course where his party is the dictator.

  • drew1

    Hopefully no one considers anything Moore says as creditable. That being said I agree that Obama’s first term was extremely “disappointing and heartbreaking” but for the opposite reasons that Moore states.

  • Jim In Frankfort

    Barack Obama built his support on dislike for everything and “hope and change”, he did nothing to set expectations for what he WOULD DO … he allowed everyone to create their own assumptions and expectations in their head … so it should come as no surprise that the vast majority of his supporters are disappointed.

  • Adam_ME

    “Barack Obama came in and said ‘What can I do to help you?’ and every time he attempted to help the Republicans, they just shut the door in his face”

    You mean like when he told the Republicans “I won” and shut them out of negotiations for Porkulus and Obamacare? Like when he refused to even call Mitch McConnell for the first 18 months of his Presidency? Yeah, that really sounds like a guy who wanted to work with the opposition.

  • Susan Gray

    If you have to talk about Michael Moore, can you at least refrain from running his photograph?

  • jay the hudge

    THIS BLOATED TOAD FORGOT OBAMA HAD BOTH HOUSES FOR 2 YEARS AND TOLD REPUBLICANS TO SIT IN THE BACK AND SHUT UP!

  • Budpratt

    This isn’t about racism, politics or social justice. It’s about where the Baby Boomer generation led us as a collective group.

    You want to see something disturbing to some older folks. This video expresses opinion on how baby boomers lost collective reasoning and sold their countries interest for oil, greed and entitlements. Left-wing or right-wing, a finger pointing bunch, baby boomers are a selfish generation.

  • Moore the Boor

    No one is a bigger disappointment than you Moore.

  • Rick Douglas

    Moore is an overinflated hypocrite who decrites capilalism while making millions, then suing his producers for more. Take your pale, obese body and move to Cuba!

  • Thomas GB

    Michael Moore? LOL Does anyone think he is credible?

  • Bill Henderson

    Michael Who?

  • Darrel

    During first 2 years of his administration, both houses of congress were controlled by the democrats. Obama is inept, incompetant, and unqualified.

    He spent the first 2.5 years blaming Bush for everythning, and now when that will no longer fly, he blames Republicans who conrtol less than 2/3 of one house of congress.

    Obama is a total failure.

  • TheRealKingMax

    So Mr. Moore thinks Obama is a disappointment?

    That’s funny, because Michael’s parents feel the same way about him!

    Michael Moore: world’s largest walking chunk of worthless human waster.

  • Michael

    Why does anybody listen to this lard a$$?

  • Thomas GB

    I agree somewhat with you but I think you have a better chance of taking the tech toys away from a boomer than you ever would a 20-30 year old. Take the lesson from ‘collectivism’ and reprove all the spoiled people holding occupy this and thats.

  • cinsere

    FDR had his haters just as Obama does. I don’t consider Moore one of the
    haters he is just stating the obvious. Many have felt the same as he does.
    When the people that are elected care more about the citizens they
    serve instead of their special interests we might see some change
    that really matters.

  • Chuck

    I wonder if Michael was aroused by the name of the BBC interviewer – Richard Bacon? Just a thought.

  • mark

    Still waiting for that million dollar check to the IRS Michael……

  • harold c prichard

    Who really cares what M. Moore has to say about anything? He is a
    hypocrite who deplores capitalism and yet he doesn’t turn down his earned
    millions. What a complete fraud

  • common cents

    All Obama has been doing is paying off his cronies. If you dispute that you are a liar. Moore , you have been making a capitalist living since I have known you. Get honest with the people , you like money , don’t you.

  • Siobhra DeWar

    Not all of us led us there. Some of us saw it coming and complained. But, did nothing.

  • 13strigoi

    “if we could just go back to the sports analogy, you know, running the ball in the wrong direction,” Moore said.

    I’m not sure he should use sports analogies, since the only running he’s ever done was to get that last donut.

  • Tj Schwinn

    Michael Moore just likes to blows his mouth so he can work on his next book—and then say Capitolism is bad. What a hypocrite.
    Why doesn’t he also get on the band wagon w/Michelle and eat healthy? Because he likes to find fault in everyone else instead of looking in the mirror. Like being a Catholic— abortion is wrong, yet he is prochoice. He needs to come to my church and hear a great sermon on that issue. Like our priest reminded us last Sunday on that matter….. No he (Moore) makes up his own rules, yet calls himself Catholic. Give me a break!

  • Tom in SIC

    Wow. Talk about a history re-write. The first thing Obama did out of the box was to defer the so-called stimulus package to Pelosi. That was a mistake in many ways. On the Democrat side, he ceded leadership to Congress and has followed Congress ever since. However, that bill was so bad that it completely united the opposition against Obama in one fell swoop. All he needed to do was give a popcorn kernel to the other side and he would be eating steak today. Instead, he followed Pelosi to “roll” the other side and made these juvenile “we won” comments. Obamacare was crafted with no bipartisan support so now he is eating that one too. Obama’s problem is he was too partisan and too combative early. Not the opposite.

  • Ybob555

    He also failed because in his first two years, he turned everything over to Harry & Nancy and let them run the show. Both had to give major concessions to people in their own party just to get the health bill passed, and now as Nancy said ” we have to pass it to see what’s in it”, well what’s in it is starting to look pretty ugly.

  • TwCbb

    I think Moore should be the first lady’s posterchild for her Let’s Move Campaign. Showing children the horrible consequences of what happens when you stuff your mouth and brain with junk.

  • Leonor Fontes

    I agree with Michael Moore, Obama has been a big disappointment, we need another candidate.

  • MikeC711

    Actually, the best solution would be for gov’t to go back to their constitutional bounds and stop having the narcissistic thought that they know better what to do with the money we work hard to earn. To stop thinking they can run an FDA that arrests Amish farmers for selling unpasteurized milk et al … that chooses winners and losers in the market with taxPayer dollars, that pays off unions and fat-cats alike depending on who supports them, that invades other countries on a whim, …. When the fed goes back to defending the borders (which they don’t do anymore) and “maybe” coining the money, we might see the only change that will save this nation that is dripping in debt, entitlement, and a war-machine.

    I would like to thank the Democrat party for making this slob of a racist part of their window dressing. The Adams Family/Munsters of political parties has chosen their characters well. One more reason people turn away from the new Democrat(socialist) party.

  • Sensible

    Please Michael, share with us who you wish for us to vote for in 2012, oh wise one. Your last pick isn’t working out so well.

  • Publius

    Moore, the unhygienic, corpulent Communist has nothing new to say. Libbies are always whining about something and it usually has to do with not getting their way or someone disagreeing with them about anything. Both Moore and President Zero need to give us a break and go incommunicado until their ideology is rejected in the next election.

    “We can’t wait” to say YOU’RE FIRED to the community agitator in chief.

  • roxanne

    Does anyone really care what Moore has to say? He is so irrelevant.

  • nilochsaloob

    hahaha… we should export this walking cholesterol experiment back where he belongs…. Cuba

  • Dave

    It may be called a Jobs bill, but it is really nothing more than a Tax bill that will provide funding to the 2012 Democrat election campaign.

  • Bronzo

    Rhetoric and no action really?? so overhauling healthcare ( like it or not) and the whole new financial regulatory bill that passed when the democrats had control of both houses is “NO action”. Hmmm

  • dAVE

    mIKEY! nOT TO worry BECAUSE HE GETTING NO 2ND TERM YOU FAT BASSTURD!

  • Geum

    We tol’ ya, Mike… or we tried to tell you. You, typically didn’t listen. We said this guy was smoke and mirrors with no experience at anything, really. And you along with literally millions of other folks believed his bulls hit. My guess is, though, you won’t listen to us this time either. You DO know you’re an active addict, right? Denial is the first symptom, along with arrogance and egoism.

  • IMWatchingU

    I’ll agree there. He really sat back and the career politicians line their pockets. Pelosi’s net worth doubled in those years. Try that with any other game and you gotta freaking wonder. I am sure she donated at least 50% of those gain to her constituents.

  • Perplexed

    Michael Moore, like most of his ilk, hypocritically chastise the most left wing President this country has ever had for not accomplishing more left wing policies. Even with democratic majorities in both houses and a super majority in the Senate some of what they wanted didn’t happen. If they had we would be Greece today instead of tomorrow.

    This country is broke because of government intervention in the housing market and irresponsible loan policies that allowed people to buy houses they couldn’t afford and the bundling of those shaky loans in MBSs. We may never recover from this irresponsibility. The Moore’s of this country advocate for income redistribution while enjoying great wealth for themselves. They grab photo-ops and scurry back to their protected and opulent lifestyles. The great unwashied voters are just as naieve today and will remain that way to be pawns of these rich Hollywood folks.

  • Rich

    Of course he walked into office and said “what can I do to help” that is what anyone that shows up where work is being done that has no idea what they are doing. We elected a complete novice with no experience and an empty resume.

  • Martinn

    Moore is a walking advertisement for post-natal abortion.

  • smfic

    Aw, the hearbreak heard ’round the world.
    The saddest part, aside from just knowing that there are people who agree with MM, is that he’s disappointed that BHO didn’t do MORE to wreck the economy, enact radical social changes, and hasten America’s decline.

  • Bill

    What is this fat ash complaining about. Obama got virtually everything he wanted in his first 2 years. I as a small business owner knew 6 months before the election that Obama’s policies would weaken the economy and destroy job opportunities for us and our kids. No surprises here.

  • IMWatchingU

    I really wish this self-serving tub of lard would just give away 75% of his net worth and move into the ghetto areas. I will THEN and only THEN give him some freaking credit. Why doesn’t HE put those millions into his own campaign for Presidency? Because what is HIS is HIS and what is OURS should be donated.

    I really wish those Lefty activists would stop and fully look at their own swamp. Put the pressure on these useless turds to put THEIR MONEY where their mouths are.

  • Douglas Tusing

    Michael Moore, is just as big a MORON as our elected liberal political ideologues. I got entirely too much CHANGE and now no HOPE of any correction until 2012 — 2016. And that will not happen unless we as a country pull our heads out of the sand and look at the facts, versus the vile propaganda the leftist media is spewing.

  • Jim

    That fat commie is distancing himself and his party from the car wreck that is the Obama administration. Watch as they try to paint Obama as a traitor to their ‘progressive’ cause of centralized tyranny. Having Obama, near total media control and both houses of Congress didn’t work this time. Next time they’ll add brown-shirts and the FCC shutting down talk radio to the mix.

  • ShawnP

    “…and every time he attempted to help the Republicans, they just shut the door in his face…”

    Statements like that demonstrate that Democrats are truly mentally ill. Barry Obama has been the most hyper-partisan, arrogantly ignorant and obnoxious “president” of my lifetime. His first two years were characterized by shredding of the Constitution and total destruction of established Congressional procedure to ram idiotic, “Socialist” pipe dream legislation through a Congress controlled with Democrat super-majorities in both houses, legislation that would not even have been suggested if adults had been in control.

  • Jim Runyans

    M.Moore won’t be happy untill this a european socialist type country. the fact that he is un-happy is a very good thing for this country.

  • Mingo

    Why doesn’t this fat POS go back to his pig sty where he belongs?

  • elziabethrc

    Absolutely correct! This blame the Republicans game has to be stopped in it’s tracks. Obama tried to institute programs that the people did not like, did not want and had foisted upon them (us). Obamacare comes to mind, bailing out the banks and his campaign donor corporations come to mind as well.

    Michale Moore is disappointed? If he weren’t quite so stupid, he would have been able to see, as we were. That’s a liberal for you: get all gushy and tingly with feel good emotions when what is called for is reasoned decisionmaking. They just don’t understand that. Voting with one’s emotions never works.

    Why is Moore disappoint? Did Obama shut down the all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster?

    Obama is a poster child for” What Not to Do”
    We will be replacing him in a year.

  • Debbic DNC

    Bronzo, it was a bad action, hence it was even worse than ‘no’ action. He did not let the GOP participate in a bill that would work for all; instead we get a mess shoved down our throats (‘you have to pass it to see what’ s in it’ as Pelosi remarked), that instead of reducing healthcare premiums, adds to cost, reduces quality of service for all, and which is unsustainable. Obama’s other ‘no actions’ resulted in increasing the deficit more than all other presidents combined – putting the US on the road to insolvency and disaster unless checked.

  • Jose`

    Obama is the poster child for why liberal/socialistic policies fail. There are a few fools like Michael lard-a** who will never get that. They are they true ‘fellow travelers’.

  • Oddman

    ‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” Moore said
    That’s exactly what we will be doing in 2012. We don’t like Obamacare, ramroded down our throats, the stimulus fiasco, the jobs bill-another fiasco. Doesn’t he know what’s happening in Europe–and he’s trying to move us in that direction also.

  • Art House

    Hey M. Moore – He did come into office and throw his weight around just like he is trying to do now. He will be thrown out of office in 2012 – so, what are you talking about? Wonder if Moore was at the food fest in Hollywood last night. He would have had to buy 2 plates at $35,800 each to fill his fat face. What a lard a$$.

  • joey

    The “THUG” had the House the Senate and the White House and did nothing – don’t blame Bush or the Republicans for the inept “THUG”- stick another Cheseburger down your OBESE mouth mister 1%

    Ok, he should have written “no GOOD action”

    Satisfied?

    Didn’t think so….. never will be…….

  • Clay

    The pigs kicked him out, that’s why.

  • Carl

    I don;t know how Moore can complain; what with SOLYNDRA, Keystone Pipeline, “Fast & Furious” accomplishments. Only folks who should be disappointed are the folks that hand out Nobel prizes and Academy Awards!!

    And, you can’t fix stupid.

  • Walter

    If Michelle had her way she’d gut this fatty and make a party balloon out of him. At least it would be the first time in a long time Bam got the majority of Americans on his side…

  • Mao Tse Tung

    Ummmmm, the last time i check Obama had 2 full years with Democratic control of the House & Senate, He should and could have pushed anything he wanted through to get the economy going, but instead put all of his efforts on passing a highly controversial health care bill that will most likely be overturned.

    From the big picture, he care more about redistrubution of wealth than the economy and his priorities were to start the monumental shift of wealth that came with Obamacare. Once passed, Obama hoped this would spell the end of the health care industry as we know it and instead be the beginning of socialized medicine in the USA.

    So, to say he couldn’t get anything passed because of Republicans is a bit of a joke, because only middle of the road Democrats stopped him from passing whatever it is that he wanted in 2009 and 2010

    And because of the games played in getting Obamacare passed, the 2010 elections were a complete disaster for the Democrats. And expect more of the same in 2012 as the economy continues to suffer under his watch and his slew of regulations that might help the environment, but kill the economy..

  • Allen Schell

    mike just keep talking, you do more to destroy liberalism by just showing yourself than 100 Teaparty activists……..I love it

  • Who? Me?

    Mr. Moore should know by now that anyone who makes it into the White House is not there for the American people no matter what they say on the campaign trail. It’s all “I love the US. The American People are the greatest on Earth.” Then they get in office and tell us all to suck it by doing the exact opposite of what they said they were going to do.

  • jeff b

    Moore should be corrected….Obama’s ONLY term has been….

    May obama not have a 2nd term! And Moore should quietly go away and graze at the buffet.

  • Alfred-King of Wessex

    This bloated, spanked ass has been on a sugar high for decades now. Anything short of a Cuban-style, Marxist Leninist government will leave this guy in tears ( even though he as a bank account fatter than himself) Obama is wrecking this nation……but at a slower pace than Moore likes. Moore would tear up the constitution, get the Red Revolution going, and throw all patriotic Americans into gulags……enslaved in this “Socialist Workers Paradise”

  • David

    “Speaking with Richard Bacon of the BBC, Moore described the President’s first term in office as “heart-breaking” and a “disappointment.””

    Richard’s a brave man. That’s probably the first time Michael Moore was ever in the room with Bacon without eating it.
    Anyhow, I’m feeling cognitive dissonance… I think Obama has been a terrible president, but then, anything that upsets Michael Moore can’t be all bad…

  • Marty

    Oh it’s action all right. Of the worst kind. Will be very glad to see him go.

  • Craig Eliot

    The American government is now so corrupt with corporate and banking influence and interests that only a Second American Revolution can turn things around. Then again, things could never have come to this sorry head if the Americans hadn’t degenerated into a people (or rather, geographical area of many peoples) who didn’t get exactly the government they deserve.

  • Marty

    Right on. Don’t take these left-wing nuts too lightly. They’ll do anything to win and we have to be more pumped than ever before to send them down the road. 380 days baby, 380 days until we vote that clown out of office.

    Moore is delusional. Dems did not reach accross the aisle one bit. In fact
    Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren’t present.

    Towns’ action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns’s failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage’s reported sweetheart deals to VIPs

  • Bill in Tennessee

    Moore is right, Obama is NOT the person he campaigned for in 2008, but we all knew that and tried to tell the Deep Thinkers like Moore that Obama was not what he seemed. But no, the Hope-n’-Change crowd would NOT listen to us, and now we are up to our eyeballs in hopey-changey and about to lose the America that we love. Memo to the Dim-Wit Party…please stay home this election and let the adults of the nation fix things, OK? You’ve pretty well mucked things up, so go have a latte mocha or sleep in or do whatever it is you people do, and just leave the election to the rest of us this time. You can come back to the polling places AFTER you grow up.

    Correct…The only reaching across the isle is when a Dem thinks about reelection and crosses over to vote against the moronic policies of this administration.

    Nope, never was. He is mulatto. He is not Black. Cain will be the first truely black president. (if that was ever a qualification…..)

  • Roger and Me

    He handed the US auto industry over to the UAW while humping the GM bond holders.

    The US auto industry is now a govt controlled under-class of manufacturers. It will now always be inferior to foreign competition and will always need an unfair govt boost to be in any way competitive with superior foreign products.

    If you think you’ve seen the last of GM’s money problems then LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

    The next time though it will be fun to watch the UAW squirm because they won’t get bailed out again. instead they’ll be left to die like they should have been two years ago.

  • Former Democrat from MN

    I guess running the country into the ground wasn’t enough for Windbag Moore.

  • JohnF

    He also forgot that Bush had a democrat controlled house and senate for his last two years. Blaming Bush for the economy is really nothing more than blaming Congress, since THEY are the ones that enact legislation and pass the budget.

  • tramky

    Much as Moore hates it, the Federal government is NOT a monarchy and Obama is NOT the king. He’s right about one thing, though probably not the way he means it: Obama HAS spent his presidency running the ball in the opposite direction: bowing before foreign hereditary monarchs, apologizing to thugs (most recently apparently trying to apologize for America and what it did in World War II a few years after the World War II Memorial was established within view of the White House on the National Mall). The Democrats have run up the Federal debt so high that the economic stability of the United States is now in doubt.

    Michael Moore is an idiot, misguided, a foolish ideologue. So very quickly, in the end, who cares WHAT he thinks?

  • Joe Palooka

    So much verbal flatulence coming from this clown it gives me a headache. I know that comrade Mikel Moorisk is a devoted communist but he is also s very wealthy capitalist pig himself…. what a contradictions of contradictions? oh, no silly me, those commie lovers are some of the most wealthy, the “1%” wealthy, just like Castro and Chavez.

  • RNGH

    Obama…The clueless
    Moore…..The gullible
    CBS………The guilty…along with the rest of the liberal media that creates the fairy-tails candidates to promote their agenda.

    America grew strong because of capitalism and the benefits it provides to the people. On the other-hand…The liberal media provides the largest, single most misleading source of information in America. This is totally borne out by the number of easily lead sheep that voted for what we have as a leader now.

    Where are the Obama bumper stickers now?

  • Paul

    I would trust his opinion on one thing only — pie.

  • Chris

    I just want to take this opportunity to thank all the sheep who voted for BHO. He had 0 experience, 0 good ideas, but hey, he is a good speaker. My 12 year old son can read to! Maybe we should elect him as president. The good ole US of A. Home of Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Stevey Wonder, now run by BHO! No hope, no cash, no wonder!!! Bahhhhh

  • Jon Newmann

    In other words, good old commie Michael Moore is saying, “Dam*, he didn’t declare himself a dictator.” Michael, why anyone listens to you or any hypocritical leftist is beyond me. You guys are such phonies. You rail agaist the rich, and yet you are one. Phony.

    >>>”‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” <<<

    Moore's complaint that Obama didn't act like in the above statement is strange. As I recall, that is exactly what he and the democratic congress did. They rammed through an overly complicated health care bill that did not even give what most of it's supporters had hoped it would – universal health care, let alone solve the problem of ever increasing costs and out of control health insurance companies.

    The best thing the Republicans can do right now is educate America on how the system works, because many of them are confused, a la the Occupy Wall Street crowd. My sister was complaining about all the taxes she has to pay, and the housing market, and why are we paying for all these social programs to illegal aliens, and she was blaming it on “rich people” not paying enough taxes. Huh? I said rich people are not taxing you, the government is, and if rich people want to hold on to their money, so what? It’s their money. Let them invest it the way they see fit, they might also end up giving you a job you like.

    Really? What did you expect from someone who ducked votes almost 300 times by voting “Present” while an Illinois Senator? Who spent his 2 years as a US Senator campaigning for the Presidency and never sponsored any legislation on his own?

    And had no executive experience prior to assuming the highest office in the land.

    Obama is done. Ron Paul has a real plan to eliminate the abusive TSA and other useless agencies. Herman Cain, a proven liar at the debates, is an ex-Fed Chair, he’ll never eliminate the Fed (and his 9%+9%+9% plan = 27% tax rate as bad as Libs). Mitt equates corporations to people, killing his general election chances. Ron Paul is the only candidate that will end all the wars. Both Republicans and Democrats support endless Wars for Israel, it all started nearly a decade ago under a false flag attack.

    Disappointed.? Guess Mr Union Hack Michael Moore doesnt realize The Current Presidents jobs bill is the largest PRO UNION bill in the entire history of the nation.

    Uncle Sugar is the largest and highest paying union employer in the world. Might as well add goverment entities across the nation. Is there any wonder why they are so strapped for cash? Its not because of lower tax revenues. It is because union goverment employess get paid 3 to 4 times more than a person in the private sector in a comparable job.

    Unions got the boot in the privatye sector cause they waged priced and benefit priced themselves out of the market. Could have been their plan all along, cause they leeched themselves right onto the cash cow goverment. Goverments have paid them what ever they wanted, when they wanted it. Why not? Its not their money.

    Does Michael Moore not know that for the first two years of OBama’s presidency, Obama had a full Democratic Congress, and Obama still enjoys a Democractic majority in the Senate? At what point will the Dems stop blaming the failed politics of the Obama Administration on the Republicans? All they do is point fingers and blame. As a Libertarian, I am really beginning to see how pathetic Democrats are. They are clueless. Their policy is the blame game, and the losers are the American people. Sad.

    That’s actually exactly what he and the Democrats did and continue to do. Obama Care, which the vast majority of Americans were and still are against, was rammed down our throats. He continues to ignore the very Constitution which he swore to uphold.

    Yes, he has definitely adopted the attitude of: “I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” And we don’t like it one bit and we will throw him and his ilk in Congress out of office in 2012 like we did in 2010.

    IT is becoming very clear that many members of Congress were threatened to be punished by Senator Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi if they did not vote for bills, especially the Health Care Bill.

This is the problem we have in Congress. ABUSE OF POWER, ETHIC VIOLATIONS. We need to remove this to get back the power of the government to the people.

    Cain has a lot going for him including a history of market success. I’m not a fan of his love for the Fed … but am a fan that he told the “Occupiers” to look in the mirror (BHO could not do that as he never built something out of nothing). I will say though that Cain is not the orator that BHO is and he is not going to motivate “The entitled” of all races. He is a massive step in the right direction (away from Marxism, Totalitarianism, et al) … not sure if he’ll bring the troops home as the next president should … not sure if he’ll end the Patriot Act, not sure if he’ll cut us from 900 foreign bases to 90 (and that would be just for starters) … but just having someone who actually ran something and ran it well would be a big step in the right direction. And while the race card will be played … it will take that much more kool-aid to believe it in a Cain/Obama voting cycle.

What’s missing in all of the reports about the mis-named “Jobs” bill is that it didn’t make it out of the Senate b/c the Dems weren’t even all on board.

    Obama had complete control of Congress for his first two years in office starting January 2009, And prior to that, the Democrats controlled Congress for two prior years.

    It is worth mentioning that the first Congressional budget prepared by the House Republicans . . . just began 24 days ago. That’s just the way it works.

BO was clearly unqualified to be POTUS and his election was a major brain fart of the American people. He needs to be relieved of duty.

    Idiots? Really? All I know is that when the queen of all liberals, Michael Moore say he’s disappointed in Obama, that has to be the ultimate insult. You just can’t go any lower then that!

  • rockytony

    Frankly I think this gasbag should get deloused, sprayed and bathed before we wash his mouth out with soap. He is the penultimate hypocrite, making money and tell everyone else to “eat cake.” He has absolutely no credibility except to show this Occupy group how to foul up an area and not be responsible for cleaning it.

    Beelz–I fail to see how you can compare truth to propaganda. Where does Glenn Beck lie? Or are you one of those typical people who love to proclaim it but refuse to back it up? I am going with the latter. As for him making money, more power to him, it’s a CHOICE to view his new show. (cheap too) Same with Moore, but his followers cry about capitalists while following the head pig.

  • David

    How is it that Libs seem to forget that the Dems took control of the government in 2006 during the final midterm elections of Bush’s last term? They had control of both House’s from 2006 until 2008, and TOTAL control from 2008 to the 2010 midterms. How much more time did they need Mike? This latest jobs bill was voted down by 10 different Democrats, in addition to the Repubs. Why is it you conveniently ignore reality?

  • David Shaw

    Mike is just another liberal covering one of the DNC talking points. Obama had a super majority in both houses of congress for 2 years and choose to spend most of that ramming ObamaCare through. And of course the so called stimulus bill. So where in this time frame did the Republicans cause problems? Oh after the 2010 elections. Hummm, those silly voters, did they take away the super majority? Funny that. I guess the republicans were elected to stop the Obama. I wonder what those silly voters were thinking when they sent all those Republicans to congress……..

  • RTC

    Hey Moore-on, Obama came in with Democrat control of both houses and he couldn’t get anything done. How is that the Republicans fault. The idiot spent too much time on the soon to be unconstitutional Obama-care bill.

    Now it’s time for all fat slobs to STFU!

    Are we tired of looney moonbats blaming the evil GOP for blocking all the Obama’s massive socialist spending programs…yes a bit; the simple fact the far left can’t seem to reconcile is they had total majority control of House & Senate for his first 2 years…when all he managed to accomplish was cramming a monstrosity Health Care Bill that nobody read or wanted down our throats. The ones that pushed this disaster bill through are getting exemptions from it…while those that didn’t want it are stuck with it. Now, he blames GOP again for blocking his latest jobs bill…when Senate Democrats (you know the majority!) are blocking it. Guy just can’t stop lying.

    It was an act of Treason to have voted for him in the first place. So if you voted for him and you are unemployed, I hope you are homeless , starving and on your last leg. TRAITORS! you get what you deserve.

    Michael Moore is a windbag, a hypocrit and a fraud. He hoards all is millions and rants against millionaires. His movies are boring and by his own admission, give false information and distorts the truth to fit his leftist agenda. Why anyone pays any attention to this useless fat slob is a mystery.

    “Barack Obama came in and said ‘What can I do to help you?’ and every time he attempted to help the Republicans, they just shut the door in his face. ”

    It is unclear just what Mr. Moore is referring to in this statement. I cannot recall any time during his presidency that Mr. Obama has tried to take a non-partisan stand on any issue of substance.

    [...] Moore described Obama’s first three years in office to the BBC as “heart-breaking” and a “disappointment.” “He did not come into office like I hoped that he would, to do what Franklin Roosevelt did in his first few months where he came in and said, you know, ‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” Moore said. Moore said Obama spent the past three years “running the ball in the wrong direction” before making somewhat of a turnaround with a jobs bill and other economic plans. [...]

    Paco, hypocrisy is a liberal virtue. A perfect example is how liberals claim Bush created all the problems in America while giving Obama, Pelosi and Reid high marks for their “performance”. The only consistency among liberals is that they are all idiots.

    Michael Moore’s credibility is gold as is, William Black and, Simon Johnson. Obama dropped the ball, he kept the ex CEO’s from all the investment banks that destroyed the economy in the first place. What kind of left wing nut bar would do that? He’s not a liberal, he’s a Republican conservative in sheep’s clothing. If was serious about ‘change’, he would have broke up the banks straight away. Glass-steagal would have been reinstated and hundreds of crooked investment bankers would be in jail right now. And, Big Biz’s coup of government would have been ended by now.

    How refreshing is that! I agree 100% and, your credibility is absolutely fine with me. I’m a boomer and I’ve been completely disgusted with my generation as long as I can remember.
