Michael Moore on Obama and the Blue Dogs

[illusionofjoy]

Although still too enamoured with President Obama in my opinion (I do not believe that Obama is "one of us" nor do I believe that in his heart he wants to do the right thing - he's bought and paid for like any other politician, if not moreso), Michael Moore brings up some very good points in this video:

The overreaching concept is that We The People have to force the President and our Congress Critters to do what we want them to. And that means threatening their incumbencies if they don't give us what they want. I like the way Joseph Cannon phrased it and I went so far as to steal (paraphrase) the quote from him when I made a statement at the Mad As Hell Doctors Town Hall I attended yesterday evening:

If you don't vote for HR 676, I'll vote for your opponent -- even if you're running against Jack the Ripper. In fact, I'll send money to Jack's campaign.

The way things are going, I hope Jack is getting his platform ready.
