Michael Moore on LKL
Michael Moore was on Larry King Live. They discussed the presidential race and health care. This is a pretty good interview.
I listen to a lot of progressive talk radio but it has gotten retarded lately. The same points are poorly made over and over again by callers. On the Stephanie Miller Show, some lady had called in to repeat a point that she made a couple of days earlier. Hillary Clinton has more foreign policy experience. That was her point. I wanted to say - How? As First Lady? Please, can we agree being First Lady isn’t the same as being president? Can we agree that Nancy Reagan was a very involved First Lady but I don’t think that we want her to run for President. Can we also agree that Hillary Clinton has the experience of a Senator? That isn’t nothing but it isn’t the same as being president either.
On the other hand, can we agree that Barack Obama isn’t perfect? He has made mistakes. He was talking about a bill that he passed on some nuclear leak but the bill didn’t pass. Another woman caller on the Mike Malloy show mentioned that. It is still stuck in the bowels of Congress. Obama had an excellent opportunity to say something meaningful in New Orleans yesterday. He really didn’t. He broke out the same old schtick. Personally, I wish he would have pledged more help and more support but he didn’t.
If you like Hillary Clinton than that’s fine. I’m cool with that. I think that she would made a good president. I just think that she isn’t a uniting character. I don’t think that the politics of the 90’s are going to be as effective now. The country has moved so far to the right that triangulation will leave us way over on the right side of issues. I think that we need someone who has embraced the liberal/progressive banner. I think that we need someone who will give us goosebumps. Finally, I want someone who hasn’t been a big supporter of the war. I need someone who could see that this was a mistake from the start.
I guess that my point is there is too much finger pointing and hair splitting. We have 2 good candidates. Use any method you wish to chose who you think will better represent you and your issues. You can read all of their positions on-line then have a mystic tell you who to vote for. Do what you do but don’t try to say that this one isn’t qualified?
Maybe Moore can finally disappear after McCain becomes the next president. This guy Moore would have backed down to Britain, Germany and even Mexico had he been in any kind of leadership role and it pains me to even listen to his rhetoric. He doesnt hate Republicans or Democrats, he hates America. Go to Cuba and get healthy Mr. Moore, your greed and over eating has no doubt led to several poor health issues as you are at least 100 lbs over weight.
