Academy-Award Winning Filmmaker Michael Moore on the Election, the Bailout, Health Care, and 10 Proposed Decrees for an Obama

by via Democracy Now
Friday, October 31, 2008 :With the election four days away, we spend the hour with Academy-Award winning filmmaker and author Michael Moore. His film "Fahrenheit 9/11" took on the Bush administration. "Sicko" took on the health insurance industry. His first film "Roger and Me" targeted General Motors. Moore joins us from Michigan to talk about the election, the bailout as "robbery", the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the changing political climate in his home state. Moore also shares his ten proposed decrees for an Obama administration's first ten days in office.
The 2008 election is now only four days away. On the campaign trail Senators Barack Obama and John McCain spent Thursday largely focused on the economy. McCain campaigned with Joe the Plumber in Ohio while Obama blamed the Bush administration for the nation’s current economic crisis.

I had a chance to speak with Academy Award-winning filmmaker and author Michael Moore yesterday from his home state of Michigan, one of the hardest hit areas of the nation. Michigan’s unemployment is now at eight point seven percent.

Michael Moore has recently published a new book titled “Mike’s Election Guide ’08" and a new online film called “Slacker Uprising: A Look at the Youth Vote.” Michael Moore is best known for his films “Sicko,” “Fahrenheit 911,” “Bowling for Columbine” and “Roger and Me.” He has recently been campaigning for a group of Democratic candidates in Michigan and is a backer of Barack Obama. I spoke to him from Travese City, Michigan.
