I decided some time back to suspend posting here, but I couldn't resist this:
Obama calls Kanye 'jackass' - Patrick Gavin
Bwe he he
You should understand that someone didn't want little ol' me calling Obama the 'jackass-in-chief'. It is quite an acceptable term, one that Obama has done nothing to disabuse himself from.
If the shoe fits wear it.
However ,the President must have more important things to deal with.
Is Obama giving his opinion again on issues that have nothing to do with his job?
Didn't the fallout after the Gates event teach him anything?
He happens to be right on this one. West IS a jackass. But it ain't Obama's job to make statements on this issue.
I wish he's stick to doing his job.
Then there's the claim that Obama's comments about Kanye West were supposed to be "off the record".
So... Obama had an "open mike" incident... sort of.
There's another lesson he hasn't learned from the past... that there's no such thing as "off the record" for a public figure, especially the President or a Presidential Candidate.
It's a lesson OTHERS could afford to learn as well, so this is not exclusively a criticism of Obama.

I'll take that open mike moment over someone talking about his boys dripping down someone's leg while they walk up and down steps.
Kayne is a Jackass but he is a hip hop genius!
We agree on many things,the Prez and I but I have to say this time he dropped the ball.
He should be dubbed a rude jackass.That is more succinct.
Kanye IS a jackass. On this we agree. He needs autotune to sing.

He is just looking for attention and sadly he got it. So many people get atttention for the wrong reasons.
Revisions...
1. This was an open mike moment so the President wasn't aware his comments would become part of the public record.
2. There is speculation in the music blogsphere that the whole incident was staged .
Photo Of The Day: Kanye Brings The Drama, But Was It Scripted?
Interesting theory considering that Kanye apologized for it afterwards.
Since when does apologizing for soemthing matter... it didn't for Joe Wilson. According to Maurine Dowd, Wilson is a racist, and it would seem that his statement of "you lied" was pre-planned and deliberate, even though he apologized to the President and the apology was accepted.Quote:

But Wilson's outburst was a deliberate, planned act of racism, even though he apologized for it.
Look, I'm not saying that the Kanye West thing WAS planned. I have no idea. What I have an issue with is your double-standard on apologies, what they must mean, and how they should be taken.
Elliot
Yea, that's exactly it!
I think Kayne had it planned that if anyone but Beyonce (SP?) won he was going to get up and act like a child (it is what he does second best). I don't think MTV had anything to do with it. Plus he was drinking a bottle of hennessy while walking the red carpet. Maybe a little liquid courage.
I thought that "blame it on the alchohol" was Jamie Foxx's song, not Kanye's.Quote:

Obama should have better things to do
Hay someone asked him a question,he made a comment ,its not like he had a press conference !Quote:

I think people should get off his case, he was just saying what everyone else was thinking. Good lord, people make an opion into MUCH more then it needs to be, wo give a S*** if it was the president who was giving that opinion. Jeez!Quote:

Commenting on things that don't concern him.
Isn't that what we're doing?
Since when is it not okay to call a jacka$$ a jacka$$?
Just wondering.
THanks! :) I call it like I see it!Quote:

To all the people who think that he is more important things to do, you're right but keep in mind he didn't stay up all night researching this and wasteing time. It took him 5 seconds to say. Kanye West is a Jackass, that's it, we all have more important things to worry about then Kanye West and Taylor Swift but hey if it takes 5 seconds to say who cares. As long as that's where he leaves it and doesn't dig deeper.

Yeah well he got that one rightQuote:

Hello George. Welcome back.
WHY would you call Obama a guttersnipe?Quote:

I am shocked that you would say something so derogatory.
I agree Artlady: he's sitting there saying that Obama has no class, yet here he is using derogatory language. Hypocrite much.
It was recorded without his knowledge,he was just being real,heaven forbid he should be real! Or have an opinion or know right from wrong PLEASE!Quote:

His guard was down because he did not know the mike was live . Hardly being "real" .
Nixon's tapes prove that in unguarded moments most Presidents turn out to be more "real" .
The President has not proven himself to be any more articulate without the aid of TOTUS (teleprompter) then President Bush was.
YouTube - Obama Gaffe
I will give Mr. Obama this: He's an equal opportunity insulter. He didn't pull his punches any more for a hip-hop artist than he did for the Harvard cops. Now we wait to see if he invites Kanye up for a beer.
Haha this was funny. Everyone makes mistakes when they're speaking. I see no reason to make a big deal out of it. We can't expect Mr. Obama to be perfect. He is human, correct?Quote:

For once, I agree with Obama :)
I wonder why this is not a racist or sexist issue ? In any case the good thing that came of it is the real class that Beyonce showed . ;)
G&P
As Conan O'brien put it:
This is the first time since "Yes we can" that the President has come up with something that most of the American people can get behind.
Edit: I had to paraphrase O'brien
You guys are going off because your president called someone a "jackass"
Seriously?
