January 29, 2010 Mel Gibson: Obama Doesn't Have What It Takes to 'Fix' America

The outspoken actor says the president has an 'impossible' task on his hands.

Never one to shy away from voicing his opinion, actor Mel Gibson has declared that he doesn't believe President Obama has the means necessary to "fix" the United States.

“[Obama] is a man with an impossible task on his hands," Gibson told Pop Tarts at the Hollywood premiere of his latest drama thriller "Edge of Darkness" on Tuesday night. "He got left a mess and I wish him all the best but I don’t think he’s going to fix it in five minutes and probably not in his entire tenure."

REVIEW: Gibson's 'Edge of Darkness' and more weekend releases.

Gibson's thoughts come as no surprise, as his new film explores the dark side of politics. He stars as homicide detective Thomas Craven, who is embroiled in an investigation into the murder of his activist daughter. In the process, Craven uncovers a corporate cover-up and government collusion that attracts an agent tasked with cleaning up the evidence.

lets just remember MEL that the rats controlled the HOUSE two years before the financial crisis and that the rat cronies protected FANNIE and FREDDIE while those agencies doomed the whole of America...

and we had people like zero sueing the banks to lend more money to poor risks and we had zero in the SENATE for two years before his coronation....

I blame a lot of people but mostly fannie and freddie and their rat enablers.....

Mel....go stuff it...

There’s a fix.

It’s called capitalism, sans evil, meddling government goons, and their banker bedfellows.

Communism will fix nothing, Mel.

There’s nothing to “fix”. The economy will recover all by itself... already is. All they need to do is stop messing with it, and cut taxes, and it would happen that much faster.
