Barack Obama Calls Kanye West a “Jackass”



President Barack Obama was reportedly overheard calling Kanye West a “jackass” for his interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at MTV Video Music Awards.

The comment was allegedly made yesterday in an off-the-record segment during an interview with CNBC and the cat was let out of the bag by  Terry Moran, the co-host of ABC’s Nightline.

Writing a message on Twitter  that was since deletedMoran said: “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 said: “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.”

Personally, we’re proud of our president and we stand behind his remarks they SHOULD have been public. Obama was right. He was being a jackass.

Good Call Mister President!!
