Michael Moore Twitter, Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore went on a Twitter rant over President Obama's performance on Wednesday night at the first presidential debate.
The progressive activist said Obama's debate performance was lack-luster and failed to fire up the base.
"Fire all debate consultants now," he tweeted, adding "This is what happens when [you] pick John Kerry as your debate coach."
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) stood in for Mitt Romney in Obama's debate preparation.
Moore was not pleased with debate moderator Jim Lehrer either, tweeting that he might have been coached by Clint Eastwood. Eastwood, addressing the Republican National Convention in late August, spoke to an empty chair on stage.
Political commentator and comedian Bill Maher, who has given a million dollars to the super-PAC supporting Obama, similarly blamed Lehrer for what he called a win for Romney.
At one point in his Twitter rant, Moore asked first lady Michelle to "give him the signal" and urged Obama not to pull his punches. He also asked if former President Clinton, who has become a mainstay on the campaign trail for Obama, could substitute for the president.
It's not the first time Moore has critiqued Obama: he also publicly weighed in against Obama's decisions on Libya, gun control and increasing the troops in Afghanistan back in 2009, among other things.
