Okay, I promise that this will be my last story regarding Kanye West. In case you didn’t hear, the man had a heart-to-heart with Jay Leno last night regarding his outburst at the VMAs on Sunday night. I think Kanye was sincere in his Leno appearance and, with a little break, can put this behind him.
But, before we put this story to rest, let’s see what President Obama has to say about it. In an off the record portion of an interview with CNBC (where he was talking about important issues like, oh, I don’t know, health care reform!) Obama said that Kanye acted like a “jackass”.
The remarks were caught by ABC newsman Terry Moran. His tweet was as followed: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.” Since the comments were off the record and not for public viewing, Moran later took the tweet down. But it was too late. Now everyone knows Obama’s opinion.
Of course Kanye acted like a jackass, we all know that. At the same time, the president surely didn’t want the entire country to know his feelings on the matter so I think it’s smart they took the comment down. I hope Obama is able to forgive Kanye. Remember, these two Chi-Town boys once had some good times together.
I’m still waiting to hear what Pope Benedict thinks about Beyonce’s video.
