“Political documentarian Michael Moore has repeatedly expressed his frustrations with President Obama, but this week he really stuck the knife in, saying in an interview that Obama will be remembered as the first black president and “that’s it.”
Moore spoke with The Hollywood Reporter at the Toronto Film Festival (which Moore attended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Roger & Me) and said that despite what Obama may have claimed in 2012, he “did not save Detroit.” Moore admitted that while Obama’s done many good things, “he’s been a huge disappointment.””* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

well I think what’s important to note here is that symbolic speeches don’t count. Obama has only been president two years, the others were with a congress not willing to do anything. While he had the senate and the house he did a lot. My mother died young for lack of health care, so I love him for bringing quality health insurance based on the idea that healthcare is a right, not something you get if you can afford it. That is probably the biggest achievement of any pres. in my lifetime. Also, I love the SC nominees. Also, he passed the stimulus that took us from an economy losing a million jobs a month to one that has made small gains each month. Both him and Bush have tried to do something with immigration, but that involves congress, and dems in congress begged him not to make it an issue, so he did what they wanted him to. As the saying goes “When all is said and done, more will be said that done” and that is certainly true with Obama. In Michael Moore’s case, a lot of hot air will be said and there will be nothing he has done other than a few movies.
well put man
