otherwise but i just, i have been very appreciative of the reviews received, and so, there you go. >> host: john in wyoming. we have a few minutes left with michael moore. >> caller: michael, i appreciate you having me on. i have a brief question about your opinion on barack obama. number one, he was investing the bush administration for war crimes. and he chose to go -- [inaudible] fails to launch an investigation. also, he chose not to prosecute folks engaged, even though murder trials proved they were just following orders. i were just like your opinion on that. >> guest: well, i wish the

administration would have investigated by a special prosecutor. i think war crimes were committed. i think we were like you. i think that was the worst lie you can do when you're in public office. to tell a lie that lead the country to were. i don't know what was at stake. i think they wanted to do this. i think everything we've read and heard from people like richard clarke and their administration, they were talking about iraq the day after 9/11. that's why they couldn't find or get bin laden, so we will give obama credit for that. but i have been disappointed that president obama has not done that, but he's a different kind of guy. i wish either something else. he's not. we are lucky we got him. we are lucky he putting into the eight years we had. some things like the new air pollution standards he propose,

he rejected his own vp and now we'll of air pollution standards worse than what george w. bush's war. i don't understand that. i wish he would stop that because he's depressed his base. the people voted for them. they're not as excited for voting for in the next time around i don't understand why he doesn't understand that, yes, people like me and others, people will vote for him but they would not bring two people -- 10 people to the polls like last time. he should be worried about that. the weight to incite people is be the person you are elected to be. what part, mr. obama of the 10 million vote margin that you won by, don't you understand? you had a mandate. why not do them? you have a year left. there is time to do it, but, you know, i'm proud that i voted for him. i want to vote for him again. i think a lot of people do. and we have his back. we want him to be the president reelected. i want to say this.

i walked in the voting booth that day, and it was an emotional moment when i saw his name on the ballot. when i saw his name on the ballot, i couldn't leave not one that i was going to vote for someone who is also african-american which i never thought i would see my lifetime, that the fact on that ballot was the word hussein. he put his name, middle name on the ballot. hussein. hussein. how many hundreds in this town told him not to do that, right? but he said no, that's my name, that's my name. it stands for china's. hussein, put it on the ballot. he didn't care. he didn't care. he had the guts to do that. i want that guy back. i want that president, that's why voted for, that's who we all voted for. the man who had the guts to put hussein as his middle name right there on the ballot. as what i want to see happen. >> host: and from "mike's election guide 2008", six modest proposals to fix a broken election, one, hold on elections on the weekend.
