Moore: "Wall Street Has Their Man And His Name Is Barack Obama"

[myrobbins7]

MICHAEL MOORE, ON CNN: Well, "The Washington post" three weeks ago had this investigation and they said that President Obama has now raised more money from Wall Street and the banks for this election cycle than all -- than all eight Republicans combined. I don't want to say that, because if that's the truth, that Wall Street already has their man and his name is Barack Obama, then we've got a much bigger problem.

Mr. Moore you are right (I guess there is a first time for everything) we do have a much bigger problem.

I - and many others - have been saying this whole time that OWS is a freaking joke. If their platform is as they state, then they should have been in DC from day one.

Well at least you used a completely non-biased report.



Oh wait...no you didn't.

Great thought.

are you claiming the quote is false?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I'm claiming that anybody who takes anything verbatim from any blatantly biased site, whether liberal or conservative, should take it with a grain of salt.

 

[volinbham]

I'm not sure I understand the bias in the statement - most importantly, it the stat about fund raising untrue?

but if the quote was made does it matter who reports it?

 

[Lexvol]

Doesn't matter to OWS people...if they can embrace Alec Baldwin when he visits after shooting his Capital One commercials they can accept BHO as well.

That...and 99% of the idiots don't have a clue about anything that happens on Wall Street.

 

[volinbham]

Baldwin is the epitome of a 1%r

I just have a problem with RealClear is all... the qoute is probably true and hopefully wasn't taken out of context as all people tend to do.

The statement and who said it is the irrelevant part of this story.

Does Michael Moore keep his money in banks? Does he own any stock?

Hold on - you have a problem with RealClear? They are legit and present editorials from both sides of the spectrum. There may be a slight editorial lean but hell, they at least post a variety of viewpoints.

Also, all they did was post a video from CNN. Do you have a problem with CNN too?

If this was a Breitbart exclusive I'd say you are on to something but RealClear and CNN? :blink:

RealClear's website is decked out in red, like everywhere. Coincidence? No.

I don't have a problem with CNN. Though I tend to stay away from most mainstream news, and just watch The Daily Show and Colbert.

Burger King stock?

I assume you keep a salt shaker handy?

I'm really not sure if you're serious.

he chose to take his dividends directly in Whoppers

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I'm really not sure if you're serious.

I am completely serious. That's not to say I don't tune in occasionally, but I don't watch it religiously because my brain would melt hearing all of the spin.

 

[bamawriter]

I am completely serious.

Then you need to stop doing two things immediately:

1. Trying to discuss politics

2. Voting

Yeah, because I don't regurgitate garbage from other people means I don't know what I am talking about. That, sir, is what is wrong with people. They take what they hear from other sources and make it their own opinion as opposed to formulating their own.

:ermm:

mainstream news is spin but TDS and Colbert is straight up facts? RCP is biased because the website is red? (you know the CNN logo is red right?)

Is this Billy C?

At least Stewart and Colbert instill some humor and take jabs at both sides, as opposed to it being strictly one-sided.

Who are you talking about that is one-sided? Just because a website uses the color red it's not necessarily one-sided.

Stewart and Colbert aren't reporters you know - they aren't providing facts and news you know. I hope you know that.
