Quick, Billy, 33... time to defend Kanye!!!
President Barack Obama appears to have dubbed Kanye West a “jackass” in off-the-record comments posted by an ABC News anchor Monday night.
Weighing in on an interruption made by the singer during the MTV Music Awards Monday, where West grabbed the mic from country music singer Taylor Swift, Obama appears to have echoed a relatively universal irritation.
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential,” “Nightline” co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday to his followers on Twitter.
But because the remarks were supposed to be off the record, ABC quickly pulled them, and issued an apology.
“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,” ABC said in a statement.. “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.”
Moran’s tweet was deleted, but is still accessible here.
On Monday night, West reappeared on the premiere episode of “The Jay Leno Show” to apologize for interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV awards ceremony.
This video is from NBC’s The Jay Leno Show, broadcast Sept. 14, 2009.

WOAH

WOAH
I watched that video - only a complete barbarian, white or black, does crap like that. That was the act of an out of control jerk with no sense of restraint, respect, or concern for anything but himself.
Kanye is a complete jerkoff for that.

Bill Cosby is a role model - not Kanye. Kanye is just another thug who wear nice clothes.

He'll probably blame the girl for acting "stupidly" in not giving the mic to Kanye fast enough.

My bad. I should have realized it when you said "funny too".

Kind of glad Obama said that. Kanye is an immature spoiled little brat who throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. The public has to check his ass. Hope his career plummets after several of these displays of childish rude behavior.
True that the president probably shouldn't have commented on this (or Gates) but he's right on with this one.
-
Watch Obama's approval rating jump 2 to 4 points because of this quote ;)

One of the worst things I have ever seen on television. The poor girl was mortified.

He's a piece of shit 33386. Another fine example of the kind of assholes who we elevate in society these days. Sometimes I wish I was born in another decade...where people had to have class.

Kanye West is still a ‘jackass’: President Obama
But Obama was quick to give a nod to West, whom he insulted in 2009after the singer ruined Taylor
Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs.

Kanye West.Kanye West is still a "jackass," according to President Obama.
The commander-in-chief spoke out about his rap star preferences in a brief interview with The Atlantic, telling the magazine he prefers Jay-Z to the hot-headed hip-hopper.
But Obama was quick to give a nod to West, whom he insulted after the singer ruined Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech by jumping on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.
"[Kanye's\] a Chicago guy," Obama told the magazine, which published the interview on Thursday. "Smart. He's very talented."
When journalist David Samuels reminded Obama he’d previously called Kanye a “jackass,” Obama said he still thought that way.
"He is a jackass," said the president. “But he's talented.”
West has a history of dustups with presidents. The hip hop star also received disapproval from then-President George Bush in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, telling NBC's “Today” show the president was "racist" and "didn't care about black people."
Bush later revealed in his memoir that West's insult was one of the lowest points in his presidency.

some pampered popstar losing her moment getting some award taken by some other pampered popstar...
I dunno, I think the tsunami coverage, family murder-suicides, and a lot of other things were the WORST things I've seen on television.
