Harvey Weinstein “Pretty Close” With Obama

Producer Harvey Weinstein told CBS’s Charlie Rose on Friday that he would attend as many Hollywood fundraisers for the President as he could.

Weinstein predicted Obama will end up winning a second term in November.

“I think President Obama will win and once people realize Romney’s politics for economics are the politics of the past …” Weinstein said.

When Rose asked whether  Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton or Obama was his favorite, Weinstein couldn’t choose.

“I have no favorites, it’s like the Beatles — John, Paul, George, Ringo? I like them all,” Weinstein said. “I think I’m pretty close to President Obama, but I’m not going to say that. I’m sure the next time Piers Morgan asks me to host his show again I will ask President Obama to be my guest, and the first question? ‘Charlie Rose said we weren’t close.'”
