President Obama: Replace Rahm With Me By Michael Moore
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24928.htm

...an open letter from Michael Moore


Dear President Obama,

I understand you may be looking to replace Rahm Emanuel as your chief of staff.

I would like to humbly offer myself, yours truly, as his replacement.

I will come to D.C. and clean up the mess that's been created around you. I will work for $1 a year. I will help the Dems on Capitol Hill find their spines and I will teach them how to nonviolently beat the Republicans to a pulp.

And I will help you get done what the American people sent you there to do. I don't need much, just a cot in the White House basement will do.

Now, don't get too giddy with excitement over my offer, because you and I are going to be up at 5 in the morning, 7 days a week and I am going to get you pumped up for battle every single day . Each morning you and I will do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me:

"The American people elected me, not the Republicans, to run the country! I am in charge! I will order all obstructionists outta my way! If the American people don't like what I'm doing they can throw my ass out in 2012. In the meantime, I call the shots on their behalf! Now, Congress, drop and give me 50!!"

Then we will put on our jogging sweats and run up to Capitol Hill. We will take names, kick butts, and then take some more names. If we have to give a few noogies or half-nelson's, then so be it. In our pockets we will have a piece of paper to show the pansy Dems just how much they won by in 2008 -- and the poll results that show the majority of Americans oppose the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and want the bankers punished. Like drill sergeants, we will get right up in their faces and ask them, "What part of the public mandate don't you understand, soldier?!! Drop and give me 50!"

I know this is the job Rahm Emanuel was supposed to be doing....

7. "but first I'll apologize to America's unemployed and families of our war dead...
... for supporting Ralph Nader in 2000."

Great Michael Moore quote:

"George W. Bush and John Kerry both suck. Vote for Kerry."

Moore - you're not qualified for the job.

9. ''The American people elected me, not the Republicans, to run the country!'' I'd like to hear him
say this PUBLICLY. He seems not to be aware of it.
