Even President Obama has had enough of Kanye's clowning. President of the free world, Barak Obama took a minute from pushing his Healthcare Reform Bill to call Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his eccentric behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. While giving her acceptance shout out, Kanye leapt on stage, and in a non-gentlemanly fashion seized the microphone from teen pop idol Taylor Swift, halting her speech, complaining that Beyonce should have been the winner of the Best Female Video Award category. Recently, The President himself became a victim of heckling when South Carolina Republican Representative Joe Wilson yelled “you lie” during Obama's health care speech to a joint session of Congress last week.
The off the record remark made by President Obama, during an interview, was accidentally dispatched by ABC News online twittering service. Even though Terry Moran hastily took action to erase the statement, the comment was still accessible. A statement of apology issued by the news giant, ABC, said that Moran “prematurely tweeted ... 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.” Even though Kanye West has apologized a number of times, he is still being criticized. The White House has so far, not commented on the journalistic screw up.

It was an off the record remark but the President is an audience too and should be able to comment. Besides, Kanye was a jackass. So, he told it like he saw it.
Mr. Prez looks like nothing much bothers him. If he makes a comment about Ye, then Ye must deserve it.
Well...he spoke the truth. Kanye is an 'asshole', no doubt about it. He going through something though.
WOW. Interesting!
