Michael Moore on Countdown With Keith Olbermann (Guest Host Lawrence O'Donnell) - Part 2

"Here's how president Obama can fix this, and everybody watching this should write to their member of congress or Senator and to President Obama and say, 'look, you do have the authority to write the regulations, to actually write how this health care bill is enforced,' and he can do -- and believe me, if you remember, George W. Bush did this quite often -- he can write and do executive orders to issue some of the regulations that need to put some real teeth into the health care bill so that the WellPointes and these other insurance companies aren't able to punish you because you come down with breast cancer." -- Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

"Who's gonna want to go to the doctor's office when it's full of chickens? I mean, I don't know if you've ever cleaned out a chicken coop but, man, that's the last thing you want is a lot of chickens around. This, actually, Larry, proves something very fundamental about our two parties. Say what you want about the Democrats -- they're a bunch of wimps, they don't have the courage of their convictions, yes they can be bought by big corporations and lobbyists, too, just like the Republicans -- but the one thing that they're not -- the Democrats -- the one thing that they're not is completely crazy. Ideas like this just make you want to go, 'what has happened?' I used to know really nice, smart, good Republicans. What has happened? This is so ultimately bizarre and I just hope they keep coming up with more ideas like that so the American people are reminded just how bad we had it for those eight years in the first part of this decade. And we certainly don't want to go back to that." -- Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Those of us with a single-payer system can't understand the US now. It's the one issue more than any other that separates the USA from the civilized world.

If government isn't providing for the basic needs of it's people then what is it for?

This is the kind of reasoning that makes capitalism a function for the elite and well connected rather than a force for our Republic.

@gjones440 every single media outlet has sold out to Obama except for the one outlet that constantly trashes him through smear campaigns? how convenient for a right-winger to think that. absurd, but convenient.
