Obama Calls Kanye A Jackass
September 15, 2009
During an interview with CNBC on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards where he interrupted Taylor Swift as she accepted her very first VMA for Best Female Video.
Obama’s remark was actually said during an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted, then deleted, by Terry Moran, an ABC News reporter.
Moran wrote:
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
ABC has since released a statement apologizing for Moran’s journalistic breach.

ABC apologized for Moran????? Unbelieveable! Obama is the one America should be apologizing for. He needs to learn to engage brain before operating mouth. No wonder he needs the tele prompter so much. How long before we Amer
icans loose what little pride in our country that we have left?

Even if he’s the President he’s allowed to have an opinion. Most of America agrees with him anyway, even Kanye…

With today’s information technology one has to be very careful about what is said even if it is not meant for public consumption.
