I agree with you, Boy.  But I'm not going to be the nice guy in the middle
of a melee.  Peace will not start with me.  I'm no St. Francis of Assissi.
 If the Republicans want war, then it's war they're going to get.

>> 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 (see 
>> photo<http://static.michaelmoore.com/manual_img/10/03/coachmike.jpg>).
>> 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.
>> Now, don't get me wrong. I have always admired Rahm Emanuel (if you don't
>> count his getting NAFTA pushed through Congress in the '90s which destroyed
>> towns like Flint, Michigan. I know, picky-picky.). He is what we needed for
>> a long time -- a no-apologies, take-no-prisoners fighting machine. Someone
>> who is not afraid to get his hands dirty and pound the right wing into
>> submission. Far from being the foul-mouthed bully he has been portrayed as,
>> Rahm is the one who BEAT UP the bullies to protect us from them.
>> That's certainly what he did in 2006. After six long, miserable years of
>> the middle-class getting slaughtered and the poor being flushed down the
>> toilet, Rahm Emanuel took on the job of returning Congress to the Democrats.
>> No one believed it could be done.
>> But he did it. Big time. He put the fear of God into the party of Rush and
>> Newt. They had never been so scared. More importantly, though, he instilled
>> a sense of hope in the Democrats that they could actually score the mother
>> of all hat tricks in 2008 -- and with you, an African American no less, in
>> the pole position!
>> It worked. The Darkness ended. The vast majority of nation wept with joy
>> on the night of the election (those who weren't weeping went out and bought
>> a record number of guns and ammo). Unlike the last president, you didn't
>> "win" by 537 votes in Florida (although Gore won the popular vote by a
>> half-million), you beat McCain nationally by 9,522,083 votes! The House
>> Democrats got a walloping 79-vote margin. The Senate Dems would caucus with
>> a supermajority of 60 votes unheard of in over 30 years. The wars would now
>> end. America would have universal health care. Wall Street and the banks
>> would, at the very least, be reined in. Hardworking citizens would not be
>> thrown out of their homes. It was supposed to be the dawning of a new age.
>> But the Republicans were not going to go quietly into the night. You see,
>> instead of having just one Rahm Emanuel, they are ALL Rahm Emanuels. That's
>> why they usually win. Unlike most Democrats, they are relentless and
>> unstoppable. When they believe in something (which is usually themselves and
>> the K Street job they hope to be rewarded with someday), they'll fight for
>> it till the death. They are loyal to a fault to each other (they were never
>> able to denounce Bush, even though they knew he was destroying the party).
>> They dig their heels in deep no matter what. If you exiled them to a lone
>> chunk of melting polar ice cap, they would keep insisting that it was just a
>> normal "January thaw," even as the frigid Arctic waters rose above their
>> God-fearing necks ("See what I mean -- this water is COLD! What 'global
>> *warming*'?! Adam and Eve rode dinos...aagghh!!... gulp gulp gulp").
>> We thought we were all done with this craziness, but we were mistaken.
>> Like a beast that you just can't cage, the Republicans convinced not only
>> the media, but YOU and your fellow Dems, that 59 votes was a *minority*!
>> Precious time was lost trying to reach a "consensus" and trying to be
>> "bipartisan."
>> Well, you and the Democrats have been in charge now for over a year and
>> not one banking regulation has been reinstated. We don't have universal
>> health care. The war in Afghanistan has escalated. And tens of thousands of
>> Americans continue to lose their jobs and be thrown out of their homes. For
>> most of us, it's just simply no longer good enough that Bush is gone. Woo
>> hoo. Bush is gone. Yippee. That hasn't created one new friggin' job.
>> You're such a good guy, Mr. President. You came to Washington with your
>> hand extended to the Republicans and they just chopped it off. You wanted to
>> be respectful and they decided that they were going to say "no" to
>> everything you suggested. Yet, you kept on saying you still believed in
>> bipartisanship.
>> Well, if you really want bipartisanship, just go ahead and let the
>> Republicans win in November. Then you'll get all the bipartisanship you
>> want.
>> Let me be clear about one thing: The Democrats on Election Day 2010 are
>> going to get an ass-whoopin' of biblical proportions if things don't change
>> right now. And after the new Republican majority takes over, they, along
>> with a few conservative Democrats in Congress, will get to bipartisanly
>> impeach you for being a socialist and a citizen of Kenya. How nice to see
>> both sides of the aisle working together again!
>> And the brief window we had to fix this country will be gone.
>> Gone.
>> Gone, baby, gone.
>> I don't know what your team has been up to, but they haven't served you
>> well. And Rahm, poor Rahm, has turned into a fighter -- not of Republicans,
>> but of the left. He called those of us who want universal health care
>> "f***ing retarded." Look, I don't know if Rahm is the problem or if it's
>> Gibbs or Axelrod or any of the other great people we owe a debt of thanks to
>> for getting you elected. All I know is that whatever is fueling your White
>> House it's now running on fumes. Time to shake things up! Time to bring me
>> in to get you pumped up every morning! Go Barack! Yay Obama! Fight, Team,
>> Fight!
>> I'm packed and ready to come to D.C. tomorrow. If it helps, you won't
>> really be losing Rahm entirely because I'll be bringing his brother with me
>> -- my agent, Ari Emanuel. Man, you should see HIM negotiate a deal! Have you
>> ever wanted to see Mitch McConnell walking around Capitol Hill carrying his
>> own head in his hands after it's just been handed to him by the infamous
>> Ari? Oh, baby, it won't be pretty -- but boy will it be sweet!
>> What say you, Barack? Me and you against the world! Yes we can! It'll be
>> fun -- and we may just get something done. Whaddaya got to lose? Hope?
