Famed director Spike Lee is no longer confident that President Obama will be reelected.
“This thing is not a lock,” said Lee in a recent interview with GQ magazine.
“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 Obama in January, saw the light after meeting with a higher up within the Obama administration.
“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.”

Spike is speaking a scary truth… What I think is even more scarier is the thought of Mitt Romney becoming our president. If there was ever a time NOT to be complacent this November is it because I believe Romney WILL BE WORST! And it would be truly unfortunate and dangerous if we have to find that out the hard way. No fearmonger here… *justmyopinion*
And we care what he thinks because???
Well Spike is entitled to his opinion but I know who i’m voting for
And if Mitt Romney wins…I’m moving to Africa a la Nas in “Belly.” That guy is a SUPER JOKE.
If people want to blame someone on the job situation, blame the cronies in Congress who give these corps tax breaks and they go overseas for cheap labor, and allow the 1% to live lavish without giving their government nothing. Blame them and the lobbyists who have these crooks by their balls. If people truly understood the job of the President, half the ignorant shyt that is fed to the masses would not be eaten.
Morning All in Advance!!!
Newsflash!! Nothing is ever promised Spike. People need to be more educated about the parties in the election and really evaluate their agenda. Not win an election off of emotions. Choice is your right.
:obama:
Good Morning
Spike isn’t saying anything different than Roland Martin, Rev Al or Rickey Smiley. This is going to be a tight/close race in Nov. We must get out and vote like we did 4yrs ago. I def. wish the economy/job rate were better and gas was CHEAPER but I’m still #teamObama

nice analysis, gigi (#3). thanku and goodmorning
Mitt Romney is the epitome of a ROBOT!! He constantly back tracks on every statement that he makes that the masses get upset with. He is not a true candidate but let the GOP tell it, he’s their GOD. Smfh.
If people held their Representatives and Senators more accountable then we wouldn’t be in this shythole of an economy!! I want Boehner OUT NOW.
We have to rally like the Tea Party and the Birthers, because clearly they know how to get their agendas across
I can care less about what Spike Lee says, I know who i’m voting for :obama: I :pray no Republican gets in office.
Good Morning Everyone
Morning all
wow spike…really
Get out & vote people!
:obama:
Lady CN, I gots family in the West Indies and Africa..but since Africa is further away and they are the “richer” side I’ll be just fine I think
It’s not even about the President…it’s all about who you elect to the SENATE & HOUSE…the President for the most part is a figure head and if he doesn’t have the backing of the SENATE and/or HOUSE he’s screwed regardless of who’s in charge
:obama: hoe <<<shoutout to my e-love CD
He is absolutely correct!!! People better wake up…SOON!!! Can’t people always complaining, but then when you ask them did they vote they have this really stupid look on their faces (like they’re embarrassed to say no)…..but they’ll stand in line all day for concert tickets to see Jay Z or Drake. SMDH!!! Good morning my SR family:-)
Good Morning All

I’m not sure that Spike is making movies that people want too see. GO SIT DOWN.
:Obama:
SPIKE DONT KNOW A MOFUKN THING
FUK SPIKE!
:obama:
don’t believe this partially-reported hype –> spike still PRO – :obama:
the follow-up Q ::
GQ: When do you see Barack pulling away if he wins?
Spike Lee: Once we get to the debates my man is going to tear him up! 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. He just can’t!
^^^^^^^^^
WORD!
Everything Spike said was truth though
I don’t have a problem w/what Spike said. He didn’t say anything I hadn’t already heard or said before
:obama:
The president JOB is to just be President anything else he makes no real Decision, yea it sounds good on the TV, but in reality they got a string in his back as well. u wanna get mad or talk about job loses, bad economy, the PRES is not your go to person. and Morning Family

And Spike is telling the truth though so don’t attack him…..Attack the GOP!!
Hell do you know Romney has out fundraised Obama on more than one occasion?? We have to step out people!!!
If “we” can wait on a line for some Yeezy’s, Foams, and Jordans…we can damn sure do the same for our President!!

I watched ONLY for Bentley. Maci is doing a great job. Now as for the rest of them…BLAH. Especially Amber. You can tell she was high the ENTIRE time. She’s crazy and doesn’t need custody.
Real talk they need to limit the terms of Senators and Reps like they do the President…racist pricks will hold that office until they die ugh (i.e. Strom Thurman)

She initially did, but was told she could go to rehab instead. While in rehab she decided she would rather be in jail. Go figure.
That would be crazy if America elects Mitt Romney. I dont see how anybody could vote for him
so my co-worker takes her daughter with her when she gets her nails done. and like most lil girls she likes to play dress up, nail shop, hair salon, etc. well last night there were playing nail salon. how bout while the lil girl (age 5) is doing her mom’s nails and starts speaking in her version of Asian dialect??
i ain’t understand the querstion. do what with the butt now?
He’s telling the truth and anyone who thinks this election is a lock is sadly delusional and`naive

Lady- new. It was the car. I see no purpose of them being on the show.
i cant with those “and pregnant” shows. the next one gone be 12 & pregnant
can she do my toes and nails for $5? but she bet not be sayin nothin smart to me in her language
@coco
Everyone knows that. This is not news at all. I’m going to vote for him, but I stumped for him real hard the last time around. They keep calling me so I can’t get into it this time. So I can attest that the enthusiasm is not there. I just hope Romney’s poor record as govenor will help the President.
Boogie- you talking about the little girl?
Lady >> i cant stand them either but i felt so bad about it.
now i dont anymore
! sweet relief.
Candi!

I cannot picture Romney as President. What would we do realistically if he won
i don’t wanna become a Canadian. I prefer American bacon 
@Fay I guess since they voted for Bush twice they could vote for Romney
lovezoe ——- YESSSSSSSS !!
Fayla and Naijia
Fayla aka money bags – Is Granny Clampit back?

Nothing in life is ever certain.
People didn’t have jobs when Bush was in the office, people were loosing their homes…I need Spike to sit back and work behinds the scences. Have your fundraisers and STFU. He’s often reckless how he handles things. Giving out the wrong address for the Zimmermans, that didn’t sit well with me.
S/N Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue editor Anna Wintour will host a fundraiser in for Obama’s @80000 a plate, do you hear them broads talking.

NO BUENO!
:obama:
I think and pray that the closer it gets to the election the momentum may pick up again. The commercials are not flooding our tv’s yet, but we all know it’s coming. His first win was hard and this one will be even harder.
Hey my FAY FAY!!!
@ lady a brazilian butt lift. Lmao!
:obama: Hoe ———> shoutout to CD
Mitt Robme (yes, Rob Me) would be sooooo bad for the Country.
I read this AM that he flip flopped on pro choice. He had a Sister-in-Law who died from a back alley abortion in 1963. He was 16 at the time. He was so distraught that a Woman had to lose her life because of a law a MAN passed, he vowed to be pro-choice…
And we all see how well THAT worked out, didn’t we?
I’m looking forward to Obama not extending Bush’s tax cuts for the rich. Let them muhphuckas pay more taxes. Why do I have a higher tax rate than my Boss who brings in a six figure salary?

Actually, Usual, SJP did a commercial where she sonded really smug and just…ridiculous…
I swear, ery’time I see SJP, I want to ask her ‘why the long face’?
@Kisha I agree. It seems like this election is taking it’s slow time to get here but once it hits
I just hope that the President has a plan in place to really fight back but in a way that he comes out smelling clean because this is gonna be a dirty ass fight and that everybody is read up on and prepared for all the voting changes state to state
:obama:
::obama: i
He was elected. The inaguration was a beautiful sight and I look forward to sharing that with my kids amd grand kids. As for Romney, I
cant believe he made it this far.
if either of them in office we are doomed… never ever is there a law/bill that are strictly for the people.. theres always a backdoor deal.. middle man that wipes out the purpose of the people!
All politicians owe a loyalty to those backing them with $$$$$ (bankers and corporations).. The people only count to show whos more popular!
Its us versus them! If Obama wins there will be no difference except for cronies (tax breaks) if mitt robmney wins there will be no difference except for his cronies (tax breaks) that are basically buying his presidency!!! WAKE YOO AZZ UP!
