Part 1
Part 2

Everything from failure to reform the corrupt financial system to the impact of not keeping the youth vote strong, Moore lays it out. He criticizes the Democratic Party, Obama heavily but it's clear he'd rather the Democratic Party get their shit together than start looking at other representation.

Criticisms include lack of communication, direction, the failure to use the bully pulpit to his advantage and the open threat that if the Democratic Party and the Administration do not do what The People have elected them to do, they will be replaced in 2012 by those who will.

22 minutes running time, total.

1. I've seen it, and Michael Moore is 100% correct.
But he also needs to understand, that there is NO fourth estate in this country. He, of all people, should understand this since they've been hostile toward him from the get-go.

Corporate lackeys disguised as reporters, fire off "hard questions" at the President, but softball it when No-Lips McConnell, Plasticman-Cantor, and Orangeman-Boehner get interviewed. That's as clear as day.

The President tried very hard to get his message out for weeks, months even, but then we heard the cry of corporate-lackey "journalists" whining that the President is abusing the bully pulpit, and he toned it down. Unfortunately.

It ain't easy to get your message heard when the other guy holds the bullhorn.

2. I've seen both parts
and as usual Michael is right on.
I too would rather the dems move to get us all together but after Obama's response to the election results and the CatFood Commission coming with its report soon I am not all that hopeful. If those recommendations for SS are anything like what has been said there is no way the dems will win until they get new leaders that will represent us.
