Mel Gibson: Obama Doesn't Have What It Takes to 'Fix' America

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 dont think hes going to fix it in five minutes and probably not in his entire tenure."
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.
"It picks the scab off the governmental, corporate paranoia - the under the table workings that happen," Gibson explained. "I think we've lost our naiveté, I dont think we have any pretension that what most of our leaders are doing is leading us to the slaughterhouse."

He got left a mess
That mess was mostly created by the operatives who withdrew $500B from money markets on the same September morning, and the MSM successfully created national fear of an imminent economic collapse. Quite an October surprise.

Spoken like the semi-educated anti-Semite drunk he is -
BTW, his latest movie is pure crap and a slap at capitalism.
Have another round, Mel - and shut up about things way above your limited mental abilities.

BO isn’t trying to “fix” America, he’s trying to “transform” it into a third world banana republic.

news flash, the world is ALWAYS a mess. Most presidents just deal with it.
The zero just tries to blame others.
Affirmative action doesn’t prop you up anymore when your president.

Gibson apparently believes the lie that Bush is responsible for what happened to the economy.

If you want the truth (or some facsimile of it), who better to ask that a bi-polar who drinks (I say this as a bi-polar who drinks ever so carefully).
Gibson may not always know the facts, but, unlike so many constipated Americans, he is at least willing to speak in a completely non-PC way.
Treasure those such as Mel...if Obama has his way, he (and we) will be put away in the psychiatric hospital for the incurably honest!

When he left the mother of his seven or eight children to take up with a tiny tart and father a baby who is young enough to be his great-grandchild, he used up my last shred of patience with him.
