Flint native Michael Moore saw little substance in President Barack Obama's visit on Wednesday to Flint.

The filmmaker joined CNN Wednesday afternoon after Obama told the people of Flilnt "I've got your back." 

"He is just trying to reassure people that everything's okay," Moore said. "To drink from a glass of Flint water when a number of experts are still saying this water's not safe? It's still going through the same corroded lead pipes? It was such a disappointing thing to see."

"Your clip you just showed about he hopes that Flint can get back to where it was. Where was that? You mean before the water crisis two years ago, after we'd lost 75,000 General Motors jobs? Back to then? Or are we talking about back to 20-30 years ago? I mean, Flint is a city that's really been destroyed."

We first saw this clip on the Detroit Free Press website.
