It was on cable so I watched it with my wife.

I should point out that I am as much a fan of Michael Moore as I am of our current President, holding neither in high regard.

I think Moore over-reached when portraying our President as a moron. The President himself brags about being nothing more than a 'C' student in college, I didn't see the point in reiterating this point over and over again.

I was disturbed by the blatant display of corporate greed by Haliburton, a company that will make billions on the backs of soldiers making $1200 a month and make a bunch of Bush's friends millionaires many times over in the process. Where are the 'outraged' Republicans that just couldn't live with themselves knowing that friends of the Clintons made $117,000 on the Whitewater deal? I am surprised that Moore did not capitalize on this fact.

For the most part, I thought the movie was foolish. Over and over again we saw pictures of Bush with the Saudi's. I am sure there are just as many pictures of Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter and every other modern President with the Saudi's, for no other reason than they were/are our allies.

I also thought it was foolish to ask Senators and Congressmen to volunteer their children for military service. I surmise he would have gotten the same reaction if he stood outside any Fortune 500 company headquarters.

Following the marine recruiters was just plain retarded. These guys are doing their jobs and for a lot of people, the military is a very attractive option. He made a big deal of the recruiters avoiding a suburban mall and going to the hood instead. Did he really think the 'priveleged' kids look forward to a military career?

All in all, the movie was ok, not great, not bad. Too much opinion and not enough facts.

One more thing, I will give $100 to the first person that finds the cunt who claimed that poor woman's grief was staged and punches her in the face and kicks her in the ovaries so she can never procreate. I have never in my life seen such cruelty spew from a human mouth. At that point in the movie I was disgusted to share the same air as my fellow American.
