Michael Moore uses his latest book to point at a number of unpopular truths about the present-day United States and especially its president. While it is of course rather one-sided and polemic he has a lot of facts and numbers to make his points. The topics covered are the circumstances of the election of George W. Bush (which took a number of recounts and court orders), the personality of Bush himself, corporate greed, racism, the education system, exploitation of natural resources, sexism, the global political situation and US foreign policy, the American judical system and the death penalty, the Democratic Party not being an alternative, the treatment of unborn life, and Moore's role in the Nader presidential campaign (whose votes could have put Al Gore in the White House instead).
