An Open Letter From Michael Moore

"President Obama, Replace Rahm With Me: An Open Letter From Michael Moore"
[
Dear President Obama,
I understand you may be looking to replace Rahm Emanuel as your chief of staff.
I would like to humbly offer myself, yours truly, as his replacement.
I will come to D.C. and clean up the mess that's been created around you. I will
work for $1 a year. I will help the Dems on Capitol Hill find their spines and I
will teach them how to nonviolently beat the Republicans to a pulp.
And I will help you get done what the American people sent you there to do. I
don't need much, just a cot in the White House basement will do.
Now, don't get too giddy with excitement over my offer, because you and I are
going to be up at 5 in the morning, seven days a week and I am going to get you
pumped up for battle every single day (see photo). Each morning you and I will
do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me:
"THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED ME, NOT THE REPUBLICANS, TO RUN THE COUNTRY! I AM
IN CHARGE! I WILL ORDER ALL OBSTRUCTIONISTS OUTTA MY WAY! IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
DON'T LIKE WHAT I'M DOING THEY CAN THROW MY ASS OUT IN 2012. IN THE MEANTIME, I
CALL THE SHOTS ON THEIR BEHALF! NOW, CONGRESS, DROP AND GIVE ME 50!!"
Then we will put on our jogging sweats and run up to Capitol Hill. We will take
names, kick butts, and then take some more names. If we have to give a few
noogies or half-nelson's, then so be it. In our pockets we will have a piece of
paper to show the pansy Dems just how much they won by in 2008 -- and the poll
results that show the majority of Americans oppose the Afghanistan and Iraq wars
and want the bankers punished. Like drill sergeants, we will get right up in
their faces and ask them, "WHAT PART OF THE PUBLIC MANDATE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND,
SOLDIER?!! DROP AND GIVE ME 50!"
I know this is the job Rahm Emanuel was supposed to be doing.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have always admired Rahm Emanuel (if you don't count
his getting NAFTA pushed through Congress in the '90s which destroyed towns like
Flint, Michigan. I know, picky-picky.). He is what we needed for a long time --
a no-apologies, take-no-prisoners fighting machine. Someone who is not afraid to
get his hands dirty and pound the right wing into submission. Far from being the
foul-mouthed bully he has been portrayed as, Rahm is the one who BEAT UP the
bullies to protect us from them.
That's certainly what he did in 2006. After six long, miserable years of the
middle-class getting slaughtered and the poor being flushed down the toilet,
Rahm Emanuel took on the job of returning Congress to the Democrats. No one
believed it could be done.
But he did it. Big time. He put the fear of God into the party of Rush and Newt.
They had never been so scared. More importantly, though, he instilled a sense of
hope in the Democrats that they could actually score the mother of all hat
tricks in 2008 -- and with you, an African American no less, in the pole
position!
It worked. The Darkness ended. The vast majority of the nation wept with joy on
the night of the election (those who weren't weeping went out and bought a
record number of guns and ammo). Unlike the last president, you didn't "win" by
537 votes in Florida (although Gore won the popular vote by a half-million), you
beat McCain nationally by 9,522,083 votes! The House Democrats got a walloping
79-vote margin. The Senate Dems would caucus with a supermajority of 60 votes
unheard of in over 30 years. The wars would now end. America would have
universal health care. Wall Street and the banks would, at the very least, be
reined in. Hardworking citizens would not be thrown out of their homes. It was
supposed to be the dawning of a new age.
But the Republicans were not going to go quietly into the night. You see,
instead of having just one Rahm Emanuel, they are ALL Rahm Emanuels. That's why
they usually win. Unlike most Democrats, they are relentless and unstoppable.
When they believe in something (which is usually themselves and the K Street job
they hope to be rewarded with someday), they'll fight for it till the death.
They are loyal to a fault to each other (they were never able to denounce Bush,
even though they knew he was destroying the party). They dig their heels in deep
no matter what. If you exiled them to a lone chunk of melting polar ice cap,
they would keep insisting that it was just a normal "January thaw," even as the
frigid Arctic waters rose above their God-fearing necks ("See what I mean --
this water is COLD! What 'global warming'?! Adam and Eve rode
dinos...aagghh!!... gulp gulp gulp").
We thought we were all done with this craziness, but we were mistaken. Like a
beast that you just can't cage, the Republicans convinced not only the media,
but YOU and your fellow Dems, that 59 votes was a minority! Precious time was
lost trying to reach a "consensus" and trying to be "bipartisan."
Well, you and the Democrats have been in charge now for over a year and not one
banking regulation has been reinstated. We don't have universal health care. The
war in Afghanistan has escalated. And tens of thousands of Americans continue to
lose their jobs and be thrown out of their homes. For most of us, it's just
simply no longer good enough that Bush is gone. Woo hoo. Bush is gone. Yippee.
That hasn't created one new friggin' job.
You're such a good guy, Mr. President. You came to Washington with your hand
extended to the Republicans and they just chopped it off. You wanted to be
respectful and they decided that they were going to say "no" to everything you
suggested. Yet, you kept on saying you still believed in bipartisanship.
Well, if you really want bipartisanship, just go ahead and let the Republicans
win in November. Then you'll get all the bipartisanship you want.
Let me be clear about one thing: The Democrats on Election Day 2010 are going to
get an ass-whoopin' of biblical proportions if things don't change right now.
And after the new Republican majority takes over, they, along with a few
conservative Democrats in Congress, will get to bipartisanly impeach you for
being a socialist and a citizen of Kenya. How nice to see both sides of the
aisle working together again!
And the brief window we had to fix this country will be gone.
Gone.
Gone, baby, gone.
I don't know what your team has been up to, but they haven't served you well.
And Rahm, poor Rahm, has turned into a fighter -- not of Republicans, but of the
left. He called those of us who want universal health care "f***ing retarded."
Look, I don't know if Rahm is the problem or if it's Gibbs or Axelrod or any of
the other great people we owe a debt of thanks to for getting you elected. All I
know is that whatever is fueling your White House it's now running on fumes.
Time to shake things up! Time to bring me in to get you pumped up every morning!
Go Barack! Yay Obama! Fight, Team, Fight!
I'm packed and ready to come to D.C. tomorrow. If it helps, you won't really be
losing Rahm entirely because I'll be bringing his brother with me -- my agent,
Ari Emanuel. Man, you should see HIM negotiate a deal! Have you ever wanted to
see Mitch McConnell walking around Capitol Hill carrying his own head in his
hands after it's just been handed to him by the infamous Ari? Oh, baby, it won't
be pretty -- but boy will it be sweet!
What say you, Barack? Me and you against the world! Yes we can! It'll be fun --
and we may just get something done. Whaddaya got to lose? Hope?
Retardedly yours,
Michael Moore
MMF...@aol.com
MichaelMoore.com
P.S. Just to give you an idea of the new style I'll be bringing with me, when a
cornhole like Sen. Ben Nelson tries to hold you up next time, this is what I
will tell him in order to get his vote: "You've got exactly 30 seconds to
rescind your demand or I will personally make sure that Nebraska doesn't get one
more federal dollar for the rest of Obama's term. And then I will let everyone
in your state know that you wear Sooner panties, backwards. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME
50!"

Plus technically the American people did not elect Obama. The states
elected Obama. The people elect Congress. The states send the electors to
vote for the POTUS. How those electors are chosen is up to the states.

He might offend me with his looks, but he doesn't upset me. He's doing a
good job at upsetting liberals and the chimp running the White House though.
Take a look how upset they are:

So let's say you have a heart attack. You need immediate surgery. You'll say
"Hold on while I call my insurance agent." That is if you are conscious to
make the call.

Just be sure that you and your wife have the insurance agent on speed
dial. You might have to eat the cost of the ambulance ride, but home
free after that.

Under Medicare you don't call anybody except 911.
They take it from there.
That's the "Socialized" 911 EMT...they take you to the hospital of your
choice. very likely it will be a County, City, or State Socialized hospital.
If you need to call your insurance company, more likely than not they will
need to consult an accountant before permitting you the medical care you
need.

You don’t have to pay for it yourself.
The EMTs don’t charge
You and everyone else has paid taxes to support their service.
You can hire a private ambulance, more likely than not, they will take much
longer to provide emergency service than the "socialized" county of city
service.

I just went through this so I know exactly how it works.
The EMT's were going to take me to a hospital in Encinitas. I told them we
were going to Scripps Greene and they had a form all ready for me to sign
agreeing to pay for the ride.
Best money I ever spent.
