Michael Moore's Open Letter to Obama....."Say it aint so"
"When we elected you we didn't expect miracles. We didn't even expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn't even function as a nation and never, ever has.

Stop, stop, stop! For the sake of the lives of young Americans and Afghan civilians, stop. For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop.

Tonight we still have hope.

Tomorrow, we shall see. The ball is in your court. You DON'T have to do this. You can be a profile in courage. You can be your mother's son.

We're counting on you."

4. Yes, any kind of fair factual criticism of Obama is never ever welcomed by adults.. we'd rather have
...whiny people continue to post lies and caveat criticisms then weep and gnash teeth.

BTW: Moore didn't listen to Obama during the campaign

3. Obviously
I have a feeling your little proclamation resulted in lots of LOLs from DU'ers. No courage, yea, that's it. :eyes:

I think you should run against Obama in 2012, it should be really easy to beat a man with no courage.

9. Are you saying you're 100% anti-Obama?
If so, why are you still here on DEMOCRATIC Underground?

Serious question, and I'd like a serious answer. I'm guessing you'll just take the opportunity to trash Obama again and call me a name.

10. If your first reply had been polite I'd bother, but you don't deserve a serious answer.nt
