Post; Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...-west-jackass/

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a "jackass" on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.
Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday evening to his more than 1 million followers.

New medical term.... "Premature tweetulation."


Hehehehe.


But in all seriousness.... You're exactly right, 13... Our President isn't wrong about this... I wonder where the party lines fall on this issue.

There shouldn't be any party lines on the comment Obama said. He was just telling the truth!

I just want to see if anyone comes to Kanye's defense.

Plus, is there any video of this? If not, how do we know this guy is telling the truth?

It's simply an off the record statement, TOG. Nothing "official," although I really HOPE it's the truth. Hahaha.


pixie... I was being sarcastic... Some people will pick a fight over anything... Perfect example... This story was run by FOX news... One could speculate that FOX was simply trying to turn the public against the President by showing how vulgar he is. Regardless of whether or not he's right, there will be those who say "The President shouldn't say things like that."

Whether the President said it or not, its true that Kanye is an jack. Am I the only one who feels his "apologies" are nothing but more staged drama to keep himself in the limelight and not in the least bit sincere?
