I know a lot of you don't like or respect Michael Moore too much. I, too, take much of what he says with a grain of salt. He is always factual but just represents those facts in an exaggerated fashion.
I found this letter he wrote to Bush concerning hurricane Katrina and I really enjoyed it. Maybe 'enjoyed' was the wrong word, I thought it was accurate and I agreed with all of it.

Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?
And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to beany Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.
There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.
No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st. |

| I too agree 100%! But I love Michael Moore, he rules. Fahrenheit 9/11 was awesome. Besides, this letter is just spot on, I was already telling people here how Bush is doing nothing to save the lives of the inhabitants of New Orleans. |

| People had enough time to leave, they should have. We sent helicopters in, they got shot at. So we don't bring in supplies in much anymore. Aslo, because alot of the people who shot at the helicopters, stole things and such were black, it became a racist situation when we decided.. IT'S NOT WORTH LOSING PEOPLES LIVES THAT ARE TRYING TO SAVE OTHERS. Also the fact that the President was told it was going to hit Florida, we diverted our supplies over to Florida. I'm a Bush supporter, I believe most of what he is doing is for the greater of the country and possibily the world (Iraq and Afgan). |

| I think Bush is funny. I like funny people. I don't really support him, and it doesn't really matter since I'm not American. But really, Bush is poor compared to Kerry. |

Micheal Moore is like that obnoxious next door neighbor that comes to your party uninvited and complains his head off while bragging about his country. He'll go on and on about it, and you'll hate him, and he'll write you an essay on it which will make you hate him even more.
He is a left-wing hardcore Democrat. I think it would be more funny if someone wrote a letter to him. Or if he got to run the country for a day. As one magazine said: In Fahrenheit 9/11, they would like to see Moore eat every meal off the McDonald's meal for one month, even though it's a totally seperate documentary. |

| I think Michael Moore is the pied piper of morons. People who can't figure stuff out for themselves, look to him to simplify complicated issues and present them in a format that needs no brain power to absorb - "the movie". |

Michael Moore is an obnoxious tool...He always has been and always will be. Fahrenheit 9/11 was one of the worst put together documentaries that was loved by the Democratic Left and conspiracy theorists... Fahrenhype 9/11 was a much better researched documentar that didn't disprove everything Michael Moore said... But atleast it was accurate and disproved most of it. As far as the hurricane goes...The people had ample time to leave and most of them refused to leave when told to do so. Yes there was some people that couldn't leave they just weren't able to...But I see it as a risk you are willing to take for living below sea level right next to the damn ocean.

I think the portrayal of Michael Moore in Team America is pretty much the same as my opinion of him. Bush is an idiot, in fact most of Congress are idiots (they've successfully enabled Bush to declare marshal law where he previously couldn't in the same way - sorry I don't quite grasp American law because I live in the UK) and the American public (some of you) are stupid to let them get away with it.
