President Obama Calls Kanye West 'A Jackass'
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 09/15/2009

2009-09-15 - Kanye West and Barack ObamaDamn, Kanye West is getting it from all angles. Even the president didn't like what he did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs.

Barack Obama reportedly called West "a jackass" in an off-the-record comment during an inerview with CNBC on Monday (September 14).

No one would've known it, but ABC's Terry Moran tweeted about it, making it public news: "President Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."

Since it became news, ABC issues a statement to Politico.com regarding the issue:

"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."

The White House has not made a comment.

    Kam you made a valid statement, if you watch the Jay Leno show he looks like he needs to be put under suicide watch. thats the same look DJ AM had on his last interview.

    Kanye would have cried murder if someone did that to him.

    Obama called him out sayin some real sh*t.

    America got on Obama concerning what he said about the professor gates situation, but nobody's gonna counter him on this one.
