(CNN) – If White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel leaves Washington to run for mayor in his hometown of Chicago, liberal filmmaker Michael Moore says he knows who could take his place: himself.
"I'm just willing to come in," Moore told Wolf Blitzer on Monday on CNN's The Situation Room.
"I'll work there everyday, I'll get up with Obama, we'll get up at six in the morning, I'll help light a fire under him, we'll get going, we'll get the job that needs to get done," Moore breathlessly said. "We'll stand up for the American people, stand up for the working people, have some guts. And that's what I think we need."

Yea right, and then you woke up!
As if we didn't have enough partisanship in Washington...
Please Michael Moore GO AWAY. Move to Cuba, Venezuela, the Middle East I do not care just leave. The mere thought of you anywhere in politics is extremely scary.
CNN why don't you get off of the Michael Moore thing. You are just firing up people and hurting the Democrats chances in November.
Hey there...the pride of Flint is offering his services to BHO...???
We should all be proud...!!!...???
He'd be a perfect Chief of Staff for our Marxist President.
Oh yes, Obama, Michael Moore will be a perfect consultant for your staff....
Now that's a good one! I needed a laugh today, thanks!
Moores another typical Leftwing bigmouth who only wished he had a set!
C'mon CNN. Get your headlines right.
This was posted on the front page like it was real news – But the point is that NO ONE is serious abuut Moore being part of the white house. The only person who thinks this Kook is qualified to be in the White house is himself.
With this statement he moves from the world of entertainment and social commentary to the world of delusions and aspirations previously only inhabited by the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. Not exactly his crowd, but it does raise some interesting thoughts.
I say lock Moore and Beck in a room and just let nature take its course.
What a joke. My laugh of the day.
OHHH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ! It would be perfect . They would fit soooooo well.
Thanks, but no thanks.
This guy is a joke.
oh yeah, that's EXACTLY what we need. If this were to happen Obama can kiss his second term goodbye!
WOW!!! Is this article ANY indication of how bad things are in this country thanks to these liberal loonies!!??????!!! Come on, Moore, SPARE us!!! You ARE joking I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he serious? What could possibly qualify him for that position?
Of course he will, because he IS the common man, after all. I mean, he's donated all proceeds from all his films to the common man, right? He hasn't accepted any money from any evil corporation to make his films, right? Saint Michael! That's who we need!
please tell me this is a joke right? even though i am not a fan of this administration there is no way in hell i want this blowhard in any position of authority.he is just that guy that we all work with that think they have all the answers to every problem in the world and he thinks that he is so much smarter than everyone else and he feels obligated to inform us on his correct way to fix things.(we all have 1 in our workplace right? lol) if he does by hook or crook get the job i am moving to canada :p
Michael is very interesting and thought provoking but as president I feel he would be a presence so overwhelming as to leave us all in a state of perpetual confusion.What a ride it would be but I don't think our hearts could stand it. They'd have to cart us all away somewhere to recover . Thanks anyway Michael!!!!!!
there are enough nim-wits at the White House as it is...let alone have Michael Moore there. President Obama doesn't need him whispering in his ear....he has the devil for that.
Sounds good , Micheal Moore is getting just a bit like actor Peter Finch in "NETWORK"... he's mad enough... and he's not going to take it ( IT.. ..?... it's many things really..)
and, pleasantly, he's already shown a measure of decency in trying to reveal things to us that should be known, or at least, thing that should be turned over in our minds a bit more thoroughly.... and the fact that he's been pretty consistent with his efforts , almost incessant, means he's a good WORKER, and he's got my VOTE..... V'ketah
That is sooo silly. Why not talk about Alfred E. Newman for chief for staff!
The position requires an inside manager and politician who can do the dirty work of keeping everything on the same path. It's not that Michael Moore is a terrible person, but the job requires someone with very different skills.
It's foolish to even bother to report this as political news or even speculation.
I've got a word for Michale Moore.....Salad.
Yep, Moore could be Obama's new minister of propaganda.
