A “jackass”? Yeah, probably

Posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Kat

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a “jackass” on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.

“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 evening to his more than 1 million followers.

… but then, it’s probably more a case of Hollyweird liberals just doing what they do.

West is apparently going to take some time out to reflect on his rudeness. Frankly, he would be better off trying to find a way to honestly apologize to Taylor Swift and acquire a deep sense of humility and compassion. I doubt he’ll do it, but one can hope…

And, as a side note, it’s lovely to see that our President can actually speak in an honest and straightforward manner… even if it was supposed to be “off the record.”

    West seemed much more sincere in his realization of what he did during his interview with Jay Leno. Maybe this will be a turning point in his life.

    I didn’t see the Leno interview – normally I sleep through late night TV, LOL – but I hope you’re right. Unfortunately, it seems that people in Hollyweird and much of the music industry rarely have others around them who will rein them in and speak truth into their lives.

    I hope Mr. West has some friends who will really help him turn over a new leaf. It would be wonderful to point to examples of true character which emerged out of painful mistakes.
