I saw this movie last night. I happen to like most of Michael Moore's films from an entertainment perspective and the issues they tend to focus on.

With that said I definitely saw some jaws drop during the segment on pilot pay. I think many of the people in the audience were amazed at how little pilots make starting out.

I would say calling Obama "obongo" is bordering on racist, if not outright, yes.

I'm still waiting for my public censure from the Mods. I think this is starting to cross the TOS lines. In fact, if someone is going to respond to this - just send it in a PM to me. That'll be best. It's bad enough I'm labeled a racist now. Can I at least stay out of trouble?!?! ha!

Wow. You must really hate socalism. Make sure you resist the urge to call the fire department if your house catches on fire and make sure you don't apply for Medicare when you turn 65.

(No response required, so you can stay out of trouble.)

I was born and raised in Canada. We moved to the states when I was 8. I've seen it all in action, and it's miserable. Yes, I hate socialism, as does my family. If you really want to know about government controlled healthcare, just ask them. I wish my Grandmother hadn't of died last year. She would have told you what battling with cancer for the last 6 years was like up there. As you might have guessed - it didn't turn out so well.

If my house catches on fire, I expect the fire department to come. That's why I pay $6,000 a year in property taxes to the City of Atlanta and Fulton County. They better come quick too.
