Documentarian Michael Moore remains optimistic about President Obama, but expresses concern about prolonged military action in Afghanistan. "Five months from now, if he's still sending troops to Afghanistan...it should no longer be considered Bush's war. It will be known as Obama's war."

-----

Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? Writer, director and producer Michael Moore has been trying to answer that question his entire filmmaking career. His latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, investigates the powerful forces behind the calamitous predicament in which countless Americans are finding themselves: losing their homes, jobs and savings to foot the bill for past spending.

What is the price that America - and the rest of the world - pays for its love of capitalism?

From Middle America to the halls of power in Washington to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore takes filmgoers into uncharted territory as he tries to get to the heart of the matter. - Commonwealth Club of California

Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. He is the director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko, three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time.

In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, documenting his personal crusade to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections. He has also written and starred in the TV shows "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth."

Moore is a self-described liberal who has criticized globalization, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, the Iraq War, U.S. President George W. Bush and the American health care system in his written and cinematic works. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people.

Also in 2005, Moore started the annual Traverse City Film Festival in Traverse City, Michigan. In 2008, he closed his Manhattan office and moved it to Traverse City, where he is working on his new film.

I've got bad news for Moore, Afghanistan became Obamas war when he Upped the troops the First time.

Bin Ladens dead and we're still using Drone attacks, and Al-Queda hates us more than ever.

So, now the U.S. can sit and wait for the Next attack !

Obama did not handle this too well.

@432ps1 Well, your'e only half right about that, i understand what your'e saying, actually your'e describing the average American, but for some people Michael Moore is exactly what they'll need to wake up and start to get off of their lazy asses and do some research themselves.He's a brave man for doing what he does and i respect him for that. What did you do for your fellow citizens to try and inform them?

@DelicateBlade Since when is an America hating fatass commie slob fucktard considered a "patriot"? The only thing this cocksucker Moore has accomplished is making his wallet and his waistline fatter by selling garbage and propaganda to brainless twits like you.

@DaZeDmerlin Michael Moore: Hero of the stupid, the willfully ignorant, and the intellectually lazy.

@432ps1 Who cares about how he looks and what he eats, you'll probably drop dead sooner out of pure frustration you petulant whiny little bitch.

[djBRONSwaGER]

This dude... Fail. Just fail.

"Obama fakes right and goes left?" EPIC FAIL.

Don't vote for Obama. VOTE FOR RON PAUL

-End of topic-

@53dumey The worst is that even more Afgans are joining Al Quaeda! Whole nations and peoples are now hating USA! Even those who saw USA as saviours! And more and more Afgans see USA as just another foreign tyrant not as the bringer of democracy and freedom -as many of Afgans first saw USA at the beggining of the war! And as about secularisation: western forces did almost nothing in that direction! Afganistan is still governed by Sharia -after 10 years of western occupation!!!

When will this disgusting fat fucking slob drop dead of a heart attack? Please keep eating, fatso.

So is it Obama's War, Moore?

Sadly, chucky, you are in error....from beginning to end.

You may take an interest in the esoteric, but you are have clearly not questioned all you have come to know from the first moment you could have known it.

Michael Moore is a Catholic diversion artist. The world is populated with those souls meant to be here. 'Overpopulation' is a lie. I do not live in the symbolic...I note the valid.

There is nothing ocuring save Divine Right attempting to steal your domestic rite,
