Michael Moore is upset about what’s happened in Flint, Michigan, and he hoped desperately that the Lightbringer would stop by to make everything a little better:
PresObama: R u enjoying the nice cars at the Detroit Auto Show? Your plane leaves in an hr. FLINT! We're right here. pic.twitter.com/XRz3KyfgsA

Alas, Moore was in for disappointment:
He didn't come to Flint. He did say, "Flint, we have your back." I imagine this is how it looked on the plane. #lost pic.twitter.com/wW5ZB1NnU6

Oof.
Some tweeters were right there with him:
@MMFlint I'm sure his fridge on the plane is filled with clean, bottled water. He's got everyone's back-from a safe distance

@MMFlint He doesn't give a fuck. Never has, never will. Seat of power is all that matters. People, not so much.

Others … not so much:
@MMFlint GIVE it up Mike. Stop making this about Obama. You just playing into Snyder's hands.

@MMFlint you're a son of a bitch! I forgot how much I loathed your ass!

@MMFlint okay, that's just being an asshole, Moore.

This is representative of the bullshit progressives have pulled on Obama for 7 years. Over the line, even for Moore. https://t.co/HhZfPLm9mB

@MMFlint YOU need to delete this now. This is not helpful or progressive.
