Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a "jackass" during an off-the-record moment while conducting an interview Monday with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

West acted stupidly?

Obama gave the go-ahead to blow black pirates away and now he calls West a Jackass. Guess he is half-white.

[RTH]

Hey-this is the best thing obama has done since in office! At least he is attempting to treat people without his racist preferences!

[rpg]

I can imagine what Obama would have said if it were a white man that did that crap.

[TJ MAX]

It has only taken 8 months in office for President Obama to actually say something I can support him on 100%.

Kayne West could not have been a bigger jackass if he tried.

Only gApatriot would disagree.

If obama can actually get away with yelling at black people-

he may be the very first person in history to do so!

Actually moron - I post this because it has been the only thing I've heard him say:

1. That is actually the truth
2. That I agree 100% with

No, I can imagine the out cry and whining of the white folks had Obama said this to a white boy.

You know how ya'll cry, whine and by-tch about everything else these days!

Normally I agree with you, but not this time.

West was a Jackass, Obama is a dumbass, and a liar..

Dang, reckon Peloser will want to Admonish me? I could pull a Rangel, tell them I cheated on my taxes and run for Congress as a Democrat...

Which is exactly why people think that cons are more concerned with terrorism than Libs.

[Neo-Con Artist]

If they ever rewrote the Bible again, it would say that Kayne West was a jackass.

you can take the rapper out of the ghetto, but you cant take the ghetto out of the rapper. they are just wild animals that cant be tamed.

Oh don't leave you and your people out. White folks heard enough of all of you b*tching and whining for over one hundred years. Stop being the pot trying to call the kettle black. I'm actually surprised Obama had the nerve to call a "brothuh" what he did. What will your race pimps All and Jessee have to say?

Well, you do remember that Jesse wanted to cut his balls out...

[Jason Lee]

President Obama is, of course, completely correct here.

Still, it seems pretty bizarre (or, at least, really new) to have a US President commenting on pop-culture things.

[Morra]

I'm black and I agree, Kanye West is a jackass.

On another note, racism will never go away (from all ethnic viewpoints) so long as people can use the internet to voice their ignorant and bellittling comments under the guise of anonymity

Oh, and another thing. Just because Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have an entourage of black people with them and claim to represent African Americans doesnt mean they actually speak for anyone but themselves, you gullible bastards. Blacks have looked down on Al and Jesse for almost 15 years now...If you're gonna spend all your time hating someone/something, you should at least know WHAT exactly it is...

[PooPoo Platter]

In the interest of equal time, if he was important enough to merit Presidential attention, President Obama would call Gappy a jackass too!

LOL!!! That work is delegated to us clear thinkers on Topix...

[Marine Corp Pat]

As usual, President Obama hit the nail on the head. The President got it right about Officer Crowley and now this one as well. Kanye West has been out of control for a while now and that crap he pulled at the MTVMAS was disgraceful. Hopeful Americans will hit him in the same place that patriotic Americans hit Glenn Beck, in the wallet. Glen Beck has lost about 75 advertisers since his racist outburst causing him to lose 50% of the revenue his show brought in. Kanye West needs to experience the same furor.

Jerks like Glen Beck and Kanye West are pathetic fools that only understand that their antics are unacceptable when Americans stand up to their foolishness with a strong repudiation.
