Obama: Kanye's a 'Jackass'

Off-the-record remark gets on Twitter; rest is history

By W. McCahill| Posted Sep 14, 09 10:41 PM CDT|

(Newser) – President Obama got in on the Kanye West-bashing today, calling the rapper a “jackass” for his interruption of country star Taylor Swift during an MTV awards show Sunday. Obama made the remark in an off-the-record portion of an interview with CNBC, the Huffington Post reports, but that didn’t stop ABC correspondent Terry Moran from posting it to his Twitter feed—albeit briefly.

“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential,” Moran wrote. The tweet was quickly taken down, but with more than a million followers, the horse was out of the barn. “This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong,” ABC tells Politico. “We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.”

The point I was trying to make, Rob, was that of all the black people to accuse of racism, Obama, it seems to me, would be a least likely candidate. It seems to me that a typical self described conservative, would only consider a black person like Clarence Thomas or Alan Keyes, as not racist. And, the truth be told, it does seem like Jesse Jackson, or Al Sharpton are quick to come to the defense of any black person accused of anything, no matter what. Barack Obama is not like that, so what he said about Kanye doesn't surprise me, and it shouldn't have surprised ClearSight.

Being president shouldn't prevent you from having an opinion. The cover up and hush hush and being one way in public, while being another way in private - is part of the reason politicians have a rep for being shady. We have a president that uses a Blackberry and a computer. It's time to let them appear to be like real people. Reply

@yoey i wasn't going to comment on your stuff anymore, but if you are going to talk about someone's IQ, the correct spelling of the word is MORON, and you punctuation sucks.

Ok godawgs, here's my problem with you. You continually bash on people's punctuation and spelling while completely disregarding the English language. First off it's I not i. Second if you want to bring attention to a word that someone else said, put it in quotations don't capitalize it. And finally, I'm sure it was only because you were typing real fast but still you said "some" instead of someone(see what I did there) and "you" instead of you're. So before you start prancing around the internet correcting other people please get you're own shit in order. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Well - there seems to be more attention to the jackass statement than to the the cops acted stupidly remark. Letterman would have had a great time with this if it had been Bush who had made the comments. Obama is just another wise -a**** kid acting tough and stupidly. It is not worthy of our attention. He's not perfect so I don't care what he says. That he said it out loud made it acceptable for any on the media to report on it. There are no private remarks for politicians. Remember the open mike comments we've heard. Go to cap and trade and be ready to stop this from destroying out economy. Reply
