Obama Calls Kanye West a Jackass

[clayinaustin]

President's opinion of Kanye West sparks debate

ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to tweet that Obama had called West a "jackass" for the rapper's treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. The network said some of its employees had overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC's John Harwood and didn't realize it was considered off the record.

"I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? ... The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"

A questioner chimes in, "Why would he do it?"

"He's a jackass," Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.

I wholeheartedly agree. Since he couldn't call him a lowlife, punk-a$$ bee-otch, jackass will do.

[Trim'd Up]

Obama and Kanye have alot in common.

Why is the President of the United States watching MTV? Are things that good? Are the world's problems solved?

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts doing guest judge stints on reality shows.

No. 1- I have NO problem with what Serena did.

No. 2- I just wish she'd follow thru on her threat and shove that F0cking tennis ball down Kanye's throat.

No. 3- When he came onto her stage she should of Taylor Swift-kicked him in the nads.

As many of you know..I am not an Obama fan, but in a casual conversation, calling Kan-whatever his name is a jackass at least gives me the impression h may have some grasp on reality..a small one, but one none the less...

Oh great, now Kanye and Taylor will be flown to the white house for a beer summit.

Between the vacations and his busy television appearance schedule, it's amazing that he has time to do anything else. I wonder how much of the last few bills he's actually read? But get ready for the next stop on Obama's tour. He will make the first appearance ever by a sitting U.S. President on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman on Sep. 21.
