Michael Moore Rips Obama, Blames Him For Allowing Trump to Win Michigan in 2016

On Friday night, liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore criticized former President Barack Obama for actions he made during the 2016 election.
Promoting his new film Fahrenheit 11/9, Moore began by pointing out how Hillary Clinton lost his home state of Michigan by “about two votes per precinct” and that she “never should have lost a blue state.” He added that the people of Flint felt they were “used as props” after it was learned that Clinton received debate questions in advance during the primaries and not Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Moore also noted that more people voted in the April primary in Michigan than did in the general election.
He then “sadly” pivoted to President Obama, who he previously noted was the “greatest” president of his lifetime.
“In the film, I show something that sadly President Obama did by coming to Flint and telling the people the water was okay. It was still poison,” Moore told Bill Maher. “And then he pretended to drink from a glass of water and then said that it wasn’t a stunt. And it was. And it just put a knife in the heart of so many people in Flint who were hoping he would come with the Army Corps of Engineers, dig up these poison pipes, and replace the pipes in the city. And he didn’t do that. And then people gave up and a lot of people stayed home. They didn’t vote for Trump, but they just stayed home.”

Especially when directed inwards. What separates Maher, is he puts his money where his mouth is. He also just doesn't complain about something, he will give advice or allow his guests to say how something could be changed. That's why I like Maher, even though he has his own faults...just like the democratic party...and even myself. 
Bitter Moore
Mahalo, betsuni
state of emergency over lead in the drinking water and on that visit (of the POTUS to a small city in Michigan!) recommended that all children be tested for lead poisoning. AND he said that with the recommended filtration systems installed (ONLY with those) the water was safe to drink.
"If you’re using a filter, if you’re installing it, then Flint water at this point is drinkable."
This is yet another example of what that political psychologist meant when he joked that the difference between right and left wing extremists is that left wingers hate themselves while right wingers hate everyone else.
Michael Moore types have this fixation on attacking inward which doesn't allow them to look out, even when the danger is severe. Their response to the Republican administration's plan to repeal Social Security and Medicare? Democrats have to replace the ACA with Medicare for All. 
The Republican's plan to build detention centers to hold hundreds of thousands of immigrants, here legally as well as legally. What could go wrong? How many will die in them for lack of proper care? Their response: Democrats have to replace the ACA with Medicare for All, and Obama told parents to feed their children poison water. 
We don't know yet if the Republicans will be able to have all our social programs declared unconstitutional before 2020 or how many might suffer and die in those camps if they're not stopped by the courts, but we can be assured that the screwed up Michael Moores of our world will blame whatever happens on Democrats and that they will do it right up to the 2020 general election.

Right before an election.
