...Moore depicts Obama as a savior! It is at that time mark where the film loses all credibility because it perpetuates the left-right paradigm.

Note to Moore: It was under Obama's watch where corporations received multi-billion dollar bailouts. You have to ask yourself: Has anything significantly changed concerning predatory lending and economic woes under the Obama Administration? Not one damn thing in my opinion.

Mr. Moore, please update your documentary and reveal the truth of the illusion between the Democrats and Republicans. They are the same entity.

It appears Mr. Moore is secretly financed by Democratic interests.

I don't think Michael Moore's Democrat POV is a secret. As to Obama, Moore is cagey in his view of the soon-to-be elected President, rather than rushing to assume he would be acting as the political figurehead of the movie. Additionally, the $700 billion bailout package (not subsequent bailouts) was passed when GWB was POTUS. This doesn't absolve Obama of any culpability in failing to rein in corporate excess (see Fred Armisen's numerous skits on SNL dealing with this), but he only had one vote in the Senate in 2008.

If you watch the film carefully, Moore is not saying that Obama IS a savior, just that people thought he would be and were inspired by him. Moore goes on to point out that some of the people Obama has running his economic policy are the same people that started this mess in the first place.
