President Obama Calls Kanye A JACKASS
Posted by Media Outrage on September 15th, 2009
ABC’s Terry Moran Tweeted President Obama’s sentiments on Kanye’s foolish actions. He says the President called Yeezy a Jackass….
Via Huffingtonpost:
During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. (Watch the video of Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs here and read about his first apology.)
Obama’s colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted — and then deleted — by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential,” Moran wrote.
Via HipHopWired:
“President Obama just called Kanye West a “Jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
The comments were made off camera and Moran quickly deleted the tweet after posting it.
ABC then issued a statement apologizing for Moran’s tweet reading:
“ABC In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.”

Not when there is bigger issues out there..

Stephanie I disagree. He is allowed to be human and talk about current happenings especially off camera. The shady reporter shouldn’t have aired that out.

Disagree all u want.. He is the president and has a image to uphold he should know that ppl aint gonna keep shit quit so Idk why he would say some shit like that to a reporter.. He is a dumb ass to me ..Idk why everyone thinks he cant do wrong.. He aint Jesus ppl.. Everyone seems to think his shit dont stink Idk why.. Shit I voted for for McCain anyway..And yes I am black

Im glad he did cause he is right. Kanye West is a jackass and Obama also said that his head is shaped like a horse Uterus…… and if he catches him wearing chothes that are that bright and tight, he was going to use executive order to have him come out the closet.
Terry Moran just didnt have enough words in the box to tweet that.

Lol @ dt. President Obama spoke the truth and that’s cool. That’s not a big deal. Kanye just needs to take a hiatus.
[Reply]
September 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Kanye West is indeed a Jackass, but it inappropriate for President Obama to called him that, our president should concentrated on ending the two ridicules wars we are presently fighting, getting our economy back on track and health care.
The other JACKASS is Terry Moran for asking the question and then tweeting about it when an off the record answer was given.

I see nothing wrong with the President stating his opinion.. And he’s trying to educate the slow folks who don’t seem to understand what the Health Care Reform is about. He’s constantly addressing what was clear from when he first mentioned it. It’s not like he’s speaking a foreign language discussing this. Freedom of speech still counts when it comes to personal opinions and what have you-some like is said some don’t. It’s up to the individual to run with it in which in this case it did because they are looking to make a mountain out of mole hill and it looked as if it has worked..

They need to leave that man alone bothering him about bullshit. Cause Kanye is some bullshit. His plate is full enought.

September 15th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
STEPHANIE…No one said anything about him being black and I’m well aware he’s not Jesus Christ he’s only one man…Therefore he can’t overhaul a entire medial program by himself. He’s the President of a democracy he’s not a King or Czar with absolute power, it’s a process. And if I was you i wouldnt walk around with the “I voted for John Mcain” banner too high…it’s like wearing the i’m with stupid t-shirt.

@Stephanie, so basically what u saying is, if you are at work you NEVER say a muthafucking word, unless it is work related? Or does that rule only apply to the President. GTFOH. Stand by your comment. And I will stand by mine when I say Obama has freedom of speech to call u or Kanye a dumbass if he wants.

September 15th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
somehow i don’t think he called him a jackass…. plus “jackass” is way too nice for Kanye…MOTHERFUCKA is better

Im supposed to be strudying but I had to jump in on this.
@stephanie: K-smooth never mentioned anything about what race you were, he simply pointed out that bragging about voting for McCain usually doesnt go over well with most Americans, whether they be white, black, or hispanic. But you’re entitled to your opinion about Obama just like Obama is entitled to his opinion about Kanye. It wasnt like he made the comment during a press conference when we do indeed have more pressing issues for him to discuss. the comment was said in closed quarters, “off-the-record”. Just so happens that somebody didnt quite grasp the “off-the=record” concept too well. He’s allowed to have down time and watch other things besides C-span.

Hmmmm ok Ms. Plus Size Barbie you’re skrate/straight.And Ms.Stephanie this really show the PEOPLE,that this President is very aware of what the phuck is going on.And Off The Record is Off The Record,but had he been asked of his opinion about the Kanye situation and he replied “I have’nt heard”.And that got out to the public.Then SOMEBODY WOULD SAY,”WHERE DA PHUCK HE BEEN”.Oh yeah I know OUR history and I’m A BLACK Republician as well,BUT I DID NOT GIVE MY VOTE TO THE OTHER MAN,I HAD TO GIVE MY VOTE TO THE BROTHER MAN.TO SEE A BLACK FAMILY FROM THE SOUTHSIDE OF CHICAGO MOVE INTO THE WHITEHOUSE.AFTER WHAT OUR PEOPLE WENT THROUGH TO VOTE ,I COULD’NT SEE MYSELF DOING OTHER WISE.PEACE

OK OK ALREADY HE WAS WATCHING A SHOW AND SAW HOW RUDE KANYE WAS TO TAYLOR SWIFF AND DUH THE MAN CALLED HIM A JACKASS FOR BEING SO DISRESPECTFUL….NOT HARD TO GRASP… AND BELIEVE ME OBAMA WILL SPEAK REAL SOON ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE CRISIS THIS IS ANOTHER AREA NOT THE SAME
[Reply]

Wow, I am extremely disappointed but not surprised that everyone is talking like President Obama put us into these wars, fucked the economy and fucked up health care by giving the insurance companies all the power and control over the heath care system. I know it’s his watch now but the shit was not ruined in a day therefore it won’t be fixed in a day. Its pretty narrow minded and ignorant to insinuate that it takes more than a couple of seconds to say “Mr. West is a jackass” Is he starting a “kanye West is an ass hole bill, no? He made a comment and kept it moving. That comment about health care sounds like it was made by Bill O’reilly or Glen Beck. They will say any and everything about the President trying to make the man seem like the worst thing in the world often times discrediting and making themselves look stupid in the process. If you think its a waste of time for him to talk about these things, them Write to the associated press council and tell them to ensure that reporters only ask the President questions about issues that you want addressed, until then don’t complain about the questions that he is asked about and answers. If you have a complaint with the Office of the President, please make it a valid one or we will have no other choice than to consider you are a “Classic Complainer” or simply disillusioned

Ya’ll know what, I’m about tired of people disrespecting our President. You think he don’t know what the pressing issues are RIGHT NOW? HE LIVES THE SHIT EVERY DAY, so STEPHANIE while yo ass is standing behind the counter asking “may I take your order, please?” we FINALLY have a man in the White House who is IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE.
And by the way, I’ll have a #2 with a got-damn Pepsi and make sure my phuckin’ fries are hot you stupid, McCain-lovin’ wanna-be-a-maverick-ass-disgrace.

Obama better watch out.
These damn people (white racists) already don’t appreciate him. I honestly think he needs to stop connecting himself with the entertainment world so much…it’s beginning to distort things and become a problem.
