Quote

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.)

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.

An aide to an aide's aide read about it on Yahoo News and told a czar about it. It's OK.

That was SO awkward! I thought Kayne was gonna break down and cry when Leno mentioned his mom!

Leno roasted him and left him for the vultures with that

Leno is kind of a prick.

Diunx · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2009, 01:55:59 AM »

should have called him a fool, it has a more presidential tone.

Leno's the king of the softball interview. I'm surprised he went there.

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. The youth of America will be forced to take sides.

Then Glen Beck will drop a battle rap on iTunes and the 4 Horsemen will ride.

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

So a West Kenyan just dissed Kanye West.

Not smug, that's not a good word for it. More like how demeaningly he says it.

Wasn't someone around here working on a treatise on "sarcasm delivered in text"? Maybe they'll send you an edition, too. I got a pre-press copy, but I don't want to ruin it for anybody, so here are some spoilertags:

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.

and off topic but both taylor and beyonce's videos suck balls.
