Spike Lee is predicting a tough road to reelection for President Obama.
“This thing is not a lock,” the filmmaker told GQ in a recent interview.
“It is not a lock that President Obama is getting a second term and
people have to really rekindle the enthusiasm that we had the first
time.”
Lee, who hosted a fundraiser for the president in January, said that he “just had a meeting with somebody high up in the Obama campaign” to discuss the race.

“I can't say to all the people that are unhappy with him that they're
racist people,” Lee said of Obama’s critics. “People ain't got jobs,
people are hurting. So I don't care what color you are, if people are
out of work, it's tough. And then when you're the first African American
president, that's not helping either.”
Still, Lee doesn’t sound too worried about Obama’s Republican rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
“Once we get to the debates my man is going to tear him up!” he said.
“It's going to be obvious who should lead this country for the next
four years once they go head to head, toe to toe, elbow to elbow, butt
to butt. And I don't think Mr. Romney can hang with him.”
