Documentarian Michael Moore dealt President Obama a huge blow in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the Toronto Film Festival, calling Obama “a huge disappointment.”
First criticizing Obama for claiming in his 2012 campaign that he saved the city of Detroit with the auto bailout, Moore said that Detroit currently “would stand a better chance if it were an Iraqi or Syrian city in terms of getting some sort of help.”
Then, Moore went on a rant detailing what he wishes someone would tell Obama.
“When the history is written of this era, this is how you’ll be remembered,” said the filmmaker, directing his comments at the president. “‘He was the first black president.’ Okay, not a bad accomplishment, but that’s it. That’s it, Mr. Obama.”
“A hundred years from now,” Moore continued, “‘He was the first black American that got elected president.’ And that’s it. Eight years of your life and that’s what people are got to remember. Boy, I got a feeling, knowing you, that you’d probably wish you were remembered for a few other things, a few other things you could’ve done.”
Apparently, President Obama isn’t even popular in Hollywood anymore.
