While I haven't seen this new movie, I have seen Bowling for Columbine. It was...entertaining, but that was about it. I didn't get much out of it, except for the already-mentioned Marilyn Manson interview. I believe what Michael Moore is doing is respectable, however, I also believe that it's quite ridiculous.
I used to view myself as a conservative, but that was mainly just because my parents forced it down my throat. As I grew up, I started to and still do daily, choose how to view issues on my own. I lean both ways in terms of conservative and liberal, so I don't really have an affiliation. What does all this have to do with anything, you ask? I'm just letting you in on my views so that what I'm about to say doesn't sound biased.
All of this anti-George Bush buzz that has recently been ignited in a good deal of the nation is utter bull-shit. I'm not for GWB, however, I'm not against him because of shit he's done. What it comes down to, is that, no matter who the president is, people will always find shit about him to mock or ridicule. Now that Clinton is out of office, everyone talks about how great he was. However, nobody seems to remember all of the shit that was blown towards him because of his fuckups. Everyone is looking to find a new scapegoat, and GWB is it.
In closing...is he a good president? Eh, maybe. Is he a bad president? Good chance. If Gore would have been elected, would all of this shit probably have been said about him? Most definitely. Quit your bitching and live with the fact that you may not agree with the president, but he's still the leader of the country and he's still more powerful than you'll ever be.
Bitches.
