Michael Moore: Since Obama "controls" car companies, he should force them to build trains, not cars

It it perhaps most ironic here that Moore wants to dismantle the auto industry, since he gained fame in the 'documentary' Roger and Me where he focused on the negative effect of supposed corporate greed on GM workers. After all, Moore has been caught calling cars "WMDs responsible for global warming". More along those lines in the current news: Michael Moore Urges Obama to Destroy the Automobile

"The auto thing is a good example too of where I wish Obama would just, if he would just ratchet it up another notch. Yes, he saved the jobs of all my friends back in Michigan. But now that we sort of control the car companies, let's get them doing mass transit. Let's get them doing things that are going to save this planet. Because the internal combustion engine is not going to get us to the 22nd century. That's just not going--we're not going to have a planet. That has to stop. And I just thought: gee, we have this power. You know, you can do things." -Michael Moore

So Moore only drives a bicycle and uses mass transit to get around, right? Yeah - I didn't think so. Exit question: if we ban the automobile and heavy equipment like bulldozers, what will Moore use to illegally fill in the wetlands at his luxurious mansion to expand his beech?
