During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called hip-hop artist Kanye West a "jackass" over his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. (Watch video of Kanye at the VMAs here.)http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/14/obama-kanye-is-a-jackass_n_286623.html
Obama's colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.
Politico's Michael Calderone has ABC's statement apologizing for Moran's journalistic breach.

This will get ugly. We know Kanye's thug code will force him to retaliate. Before you know it, Obama will be dissing him at the next State of the Union.[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de5F8rrZEsU[/youtube]

According to wikipedia, 'The Obama family is largely concentrated in the western province of Nyanza.'

I'm not bothered that Obama called Kanye a jackass, the problem is that a president should know better than to say jackass in front of a tv camera. The fact that he let it out just shows that he wasn't thinking and that he probably sincerely disliked Kanye as a person.wasn't that either. leave your room, sensitive basement jello childNot smug, that's not a good word for it.
