Obama on Kanye West: "He's a Jackass"

[Zona]

"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.

Finally i have something I agree with Obama about.

As do I.

I thought that was a pretty mild comment compared to what he really is. Obama is a Jackass. It's how he knows what Kanye West is one too.

A shame he didn't have the spine to make it an on the record comment from the get-go.

Time for another one of them dippy beer summits?

I find it extremely funny that Comedy Central has been showing the same episode of South Park over and over for the past 2 hours now where they make fun of Kanye West

It's the "takes one to know one" addage in real life!

Perhaps he's worried that he'd be criticized for swearing on the public record.

Anyway it's out now and I really hope he doesn't apologize for it.

There's no reason for the POTUS to be making on the record comments about something that happened at the VMAs.

Hopefully, he learned his lesson about making social commentary after the Rober Gates debacle.

Two things...

1. Do you agree with what the president said?
2. You do realize the president started this off with "off the record". There was a time when that actually meant something.

Nice going press.
