...Michael Moore: Because what???s even more broken is the fact that our Congress and White House are bought and paid for by these two industries, which rival the oil industry in terms of money and influence. They have a vested interest in maintaining their control. But they?re not dumb. They know which way the wind is blowing and that this is the No. 1 domestic issue with Americans. Their job now is to try to control it so that universal health care is run through them, so that they can still skim the money, make the obscene profits...

And four months after Hurricane Katrina, the donations approach $3 billion. This got me to thinking about the nature of giving, and what makes for temporary relief vs. lasting change. Sudden disasters get the big headlines, but day after day other tragedies of avoidable dimensions unfold: the one child who dies of malaria in Africa every 29 seconds...
Abraham Lincoln understood what??post--Civil War Reconstruction would demand. Franklin Roosevelt understood what recovery from the Depression would require. This President doesn't seem to understand what recuperating from Katrina is all about. I wish he were as interested in helping the country come to grips with it as he appears to be in saving his own political skin...
