Obama called Kanye a "jackass"

Kanye West at the Video Music Awards in New York (9/13)

Check out what ABC News' Terry Moran posted on his Twitter yesterday (since deleted):

Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a "jackass" for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential.

An ABC spokesman later told Politico:

"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."

Name-calling's a nice start, but the President can do so much more. He can pretty much guarantee himself a second term if he names Kanye the Ambassador of Afghanistan or North Korea or somewhere else you die as soon as you step off the plane. I can see Kanye's blog already:

SOMALIA IS VERY NICE IT IS MUCH NICER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BULLET JUST WENT THROUGH MY SHOULDER. IT IS VERY PAINFUL BUT NOT AS PAINFUL AS KNOWING I WILL NEVER BE RECOGNIZED AS THE TRUE ARTISTIC GENIUS THAT I AM.

What's with all the Obama hate? Not only is he a fucking communist, but also a filthy sub-human nigger beast. That's what.

Padre Nuestro

What's with all the Obama hate? I must have forgotten that celebslam doubles as Fox News on the weekends.

Nig Stomper

Fuck Coonye and double-fuck Osambo! Niggers suck!

AuSable

I wonder how he was able to get drunk on cognac, WHEN THE CORK IS STILL IN THE BOTTLE!!!

So basically he was fake drinking on the red carpet the whole time. Why else would he be holding the bottle by the neck, other then to hide that no air is entering the bottle.

Sickle Cell

Who really gives a shit what Obama said.. it's Kanyae west that's should his stupity and has enlighten the Country on what a uppity thug drunk with a little money and less talent has to do to get some attention he should stay at the NAACP awards where he would fit in better .

semilost

Who is the alien with him? Is NASA aware of her (?) presence on Earth?...

karl

oh shit now I share Obama's views. What a dickstick, taylor was only just finishing saying how tough it was for a country singer to be recognised by the mainstream and that little cocksucker had to take over and rant about how "gotta put a ring on it" is the best song ever.

I think this is the first good call Obama has made! We should celebrate.

Nameless

Come on,everyone! You have to excuse Kanye for his jackass moment. He got tired of waiting for his fishdicks and was hungry.

People do weird sh*t when their insulin gets low.

My bad he said JACKASS not ASSHOLE, so that would be MAJOR JACKASS!

DMZ

Well that's the first thing that Obama and I agree on, Kayne is an ASSHOLE and you can even add the word MAJOR to that, making him a MAJOR ASSHOLE!

PAZUZU

Good for Obama. I'm Canadian and have no say in your politics but wouldn't it be refreshing if world leaders talked like normal people instead of the constantly neutered crap? "The Children are the future, seize the day, blah, blah,," I'd love to hear our prime minister say "Wow, that Kayne is such a fuckhead. I wouldn't hang out with him if the world was flooded with piss and he lived in a tree". The world would be a better place.

Kanye is his brother. How can Mr. Obama dis Kanye, his bother? Kanye has his pride, and should be excused for a brief lapse, because his talent is so great.

WTF!

Shut the fuck up! Just kidding. Seriously though, you need to shut the fuck up. This isn't even funny anymore.

Cornhole West has a nice haircut. It reminds me that time when I went up the mountain and started pissing in the snow...I did almost the same drawings.

I wouldn't mind pissing on Pooney West's head.

What's with all the smudges on his hands?

Gdrive

great talent is no escuse to be a jackass. i've called my brother a jackass

The Biggest Douche In The Universe. second, Antonio Sabato Jr

And Obama is just a con man with a slick scam- He whistles when he talks cause his words are so slippery. Just wait, he will prove himself to the crook we all know he really is.

Boo

kinda like the pot calling the kettle?

Obama Bin Biden

Finally something I agree with Obama on.
