Mel Gibson delivered President Obama with a back-handed compliment while promoting his latest flick, “Edge of Darkness,” this past weekend.
The actor-turned-director-turned-tabloid fodder has decided the commander in chief will not achieve change during his time in the White House.
The President “is a man with an impossible task on his hands,” Gibson told Pop Eater. “He got left a mess and I wish him all the best.”
The 53-year-old actor then added: “But I don’t think he’s going to fix it in five minutes and probably not in his entire tenure.”
Gibson has never shied away from sharing his opinions on political leaders. He once accused former President George W. Bush of “fear-mongering” during the Iraq War, and called former President Clinton a “low-level opportunist.”
