The American filmmaker has welcomed the decision of Bush to force the resignation of the CEO of General Motors, a company which he had made a documentary in 1989, “Roger & Me.”
The polemicist American filmmaker Michael Moore on Wednesday welcomed the historic decision of President Barack Obama to force the resignation of Rick Wagoner, CEO of automaker General Motors (GM). “I just can not believe it. This amazing gesture without precedent, has left me speechless,” admits on its website the filmmaker, whose father worked at GM in Flint (Michigan), and realized in 1989 a documentary about the closure of this plant, called Roger & Me.
“I keep repeating: ‘Obama has really fired the boss of General Motors? The company’s richest and most powerful of the twentieth century? He can really do that?”, Says Michael Moore. “Obama and decreed that the government of, by and for the people in charge. No big business” welcomes there. The filmmaker said he still seems to be double standards in the way Barack Obama handled the boss of GM and the bigwigs on Wall Street.
Filed very left and won an Oscar in 2003 for demonstrating against weapons Bowling for Columbine, Mr. Moore is the author among others of Sicko on the U.S. health care system and support anti-George W. Bush Fahrenheit 9 / 11. “Thousands of employees” have been destroyed by the layoffs at GM, said he. And “no one would believe one day the CEO suffer the same fate. “Of course Wagoner does not ask for food stamps, (…) or be sacked from his home. He will have instead a golden parachute of 23 million dollars!” He writes.
