AUDIO: Obama Calls Kanye West a ‘Jackass’

TMZ: The audio was recorded just before Obama went on camera to do an interview with CNBC. Before the interview began, Obama -- referring to Kanye's antics on stage -- said "I thought that was really inappropriate," then adding, "He's a jackass." After making the remarks, Obama said "Where's the pool?" Presumably, he was worried the joke would go wide. He noted the last time that happened, he got burned for killing a fly.

This http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/15/acorn-prostitution-scandal-california-here-we-come/ might not have anything to do with you wanting to distance yourself from one of “your people” now would it? About time to call for more bi-partisanship spirit and invite the entire republican party over for a beer there manchurian candidate…

Obama – why didn’t you call him the “N” word? its ok for you. Instead of teaching people how to cough for the Swine Flu – you may want to teach the black family how to stay together and prosper without government assistance or entrepreneur hand outs….. OH I forgot that is how communism works – instead of creating, working hard or being visionary, you communists use capitalist principals to get easy money with government jobs.

He is such a people-pleaser. Get above it, President Obama!

FINALLY! Something President Obama and I can agree about!

And let me tell you…..Opompous KNOWS jack-asses….he sho do.

Tim   September 15th, 2009 - 7:09 pm

Oh yeah the whitehouse does a slip up…yeah right. He knew this statement would get out…he is to much of a wus to say it publicly. He’s just trying to cover up for his “police acted stupidly” comment. And to save his image.

Come on obama lets hear about Henry “Hank” Johnson statement and the school bus beating…No he won’t say anything about that because it is not as widely covered as the Kanye West story and is well known by the Hollywood liberal crowd he try’s to appease. And the truth is Hank Johnson statement and the school bus incident is far worse.

West needs his ass jacked.

Good for Obama, who does this woman think she is interrupting an award for this man of color. I’m so happy that
we now have a president like Obama who will speek out against people like this women who is most likely some
hater from the hills. Kanye that is a dumb name for a women country belcher who think hey can really sing.
Goddess of Creation has finally blessed this county with a true leader, Obama I thank you for standing up
against the rude white women Kanye.

IceCream Rover   September 15th, 2009 - 8:45 pm

I’m sorry I seem to have mixed up these 2 people, I’m still glad Obama scolded Kanye and hope he learns to have
better manners in the future. I was tricked into commenting the way I did from a prankster customer who told me
a lie about what happened. No more free of charge chocolate sauce for him anymore.

A half white pres calling a black man a jacka$$? What a racist. Next he’ll be rounding up his clan buddy’s.

Finally! Something on which I can agree with Obama! Now that scares me a bit.

Why would he even comment on this? Seems below the President.

It’s starting to look like EVERYTHING THEY DO is “for show” nowadays. Calculated, premeditated… There are no “accidents…”

talk about the pot the pot calling the kettle black.

Chris   September 16th, 2009 - 1:26 pm

I disagree with the President on just about everything, but at least he is finally willing to call someone out for being a thug. At least he has a strong enough moral compass to say it like it is.

Jackass? I didn’t know he was a Democrat
