Even Obama Doesn't Like Kanye!
Filed under: Politik > Kanye West > Barack Obama > Taylor Swift
According to ABC News reporter Terry Moran's Twitter, President Barack Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" for his ridiculous behavior at the VMAs on Sunday. Moran's Tweet read:
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a "jackass" for his outburst at the VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
The tweet was quickly removed as the quote was from an off-the-record portion of a CNBC interview taking place.
The White House has no immediate comment.
Oh Kanye, you know you effed up when the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is calling you out!

Re: dickdynomite – that was obamas white side speaking. LOL
I'm so glad Obama made an off the record remark calling Kanye a Jackass. Obama is trying to bring people together and here comes THE DOUCHE dividing people again. Go away Kanye!
Re: Blk Beauty – fuck you! everyone not just whites think kanye is a jackass, how is that kissing whiteys ass. ridiculous.
Re: Blk Beauty –
This shouldn't be racial. Kanye didn't get up there because she's a white girl but because he's an arrogant drunk egomaniac with mental issues and no self control. I see no relevance to race at all and Obama calling him a jackass is funny-because that's exactly what he acted like! If he did the same thing to Jennifer Hudson (or whomever)he'd be just as big of an asshole for it-maybe more because she's more talented!
Let's all calm down about race.
Can't we all just get along?
Re: Blk Beauty – you are a fucking idiot, I feel sorry for your mother.
Kanye: PR stunt FAIL!
Wow…OWNED by the President…doesn't get any sweeter than that.
Re: lisa00789 – YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY AN IDIOT. I WAS NOT DEFFENDING HIS ACTIONS YOU TOOL, ALL I'M SAYING IS PEOPLE\ARE ACTING AS IF HE KILLED SOMEONE, HE IS NOT A BAD PERSON, YOU ALL ACT AS IF YOU HAVE NEVER EVER STEPPED OUT OF LINE, IT IS JUST TOO EASY TO HSATE ON PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE BLACK…JUST SAYIN.
Re: Independent Thinker – Exactly! Kanye never jumped up there and said NOTHIN racist. It wasn't about the color of her skin, yet every1 is claiming racism. This is fucking 2009. We now have an African American as a President, get wit the times people! Racism is jus settin every1 back.
Re: Independent Thinker – You said it! It has nothing to do with her being white & him being black. He acted like an asshole.
Obama, FTW!
haha
Thank you, President Obama!!! I agree with you 100% on this one
As for people getting there noses all bent out of shape over this (aka Republicans), get over it! He's a human being, not Jesus!!! Not to mention he has two young daughters, and I'm sure Malia and Sasha, like pretty much all young American girls, idolize Taylor Swift. Parents these days are MORE than happy to have this amazing young woman as a role model for their girls, especially when other young starlets, like Miley, are becoming increasingly over-sexualized. So naturally it probably infuriated a lot of parents that Kanye West would humiliate someone their daughters look up to. Barack Obama is a father before he is the president.
wait so did obama really say this or no? besides he's the pres. why the hekk wud he care? he has a millio nother things to worry about. not some lame guy who's "inner ghetto bitch" came out.
i love obama even more now.
Re: hateliars – Yeah, it's not like he has two preteen girls who are the right age for the VMAs, and would like to spend an evening with their father.
Obama has more class in his little finger than Kanye has in his whole body. Obama is educated and speaks the king's english, why don't these people in the entertainment industry use him as an example on HOW TO BEHAVE. Retards.
LMAO! That's the funniest thing ever… Way to go, Prez! I agree…although, I had a better name for him, but I understand you had to use a more "proper" term, you being President and all…haha Kanye, we ALL know you're a douche, but, really? You totally crossed the line… Stay at home with your hooker, I mean, girlfriend…
HAHA LOSER!
Love it GO OBAMA
Sloppy jeans and carrying Hennessey Cognac, how typical of this group.
I'm sure Kanye doesn't care, because he is the most amazing and important person in the entire world, more important than the US President!
I saw the View and Taylor Swift said kanye west has yet to personally apologies to her. However he has time to go on shows to apologies to the people not taylor. He is full of it.
I wish Pink had won the VMA, just for the fact that if Kanye had gone up there with her on the stage, she'd kick his arse to a bloody pulp. He wouldn't have made it off that stage without the help of paramedics.
Kanye is ruined. He disrespected the most adorable, sweetest girl in the music industry, and no one liked it.
Very classy for the President to say that. I don't like Kanye at ALL. But as the President of the United States, shouldn't he have more to worry about than what Kayne West is doing?
Re: Blk Beauty – You know that is NOT true. If he'd gotten up on stage and did that to Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, or any other black female singer, he'd have gotten the same reaction! This isn't just WHITE people pissed off.
I'm sorry, but the President should be worried about other things than Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift.
Re: teebs – the president isnt allowed to comment if its not about his JOB? HE DOES HAVE A LIFE
=O Now you KNOW you're public enemy #1 when someone as calm as Obama calls you a jackass!!!
looolll
Sad….
lol…2 gOod”
Re: Deemodel – This is a recurring problem with Mr West. Has forgiveness worked up to this point? NO.
Re: Blk Beauty – give it up already. first of all kanye would never do this to a black person, he only disrespects white people. So youre theory makes no sense. It's called racism…white people aren't the only ones who can practice racism, obviously you're too "entitled" to realize that. Secondly, i beg to differ, if infact this did happen to a black woman at the hands of a WHITE MAN the situation would be far worse, all out war, and u know it. fuck kanye west. black, white or purple he's an asshole.
I LOVE IT! YOU GO PREZ OF THE USA!
Re: teebs –
Somebody ASKED him about it.
The president's intention in answering the way he did was to convey that this is no way for young black men to act.
Re: Blk Beauty – racist bitch.
Re: Blk Beauty – by the way she sold the most records of 2009 she didnt need kanye's bitchass
Barack Obama doesn't care about black people, either, right Kanye??? (that was a joke, relax ppl)
I didnt even know what happened until today. I was out of town and only briefly read about it in the paper yesterday. Now that ive seen the clips and stuff im not surprised. He wanted press and look were all giving it to him, its all anyone can/is talking about. Hes getting what he wanted, i mean he even got a good spot on Jay Leno when he wasnt suppose to talk….So that brings me to the next thing, arent award shows timed. like dont they tap and then air seconds later, why did MTV even show this? for the press? Where was security? So pretty much anyone can run on stage there and they just let it happen?
Re: kaytay40 – I disagree. kanye wouldnt do that to ANY person who he thought could kick his ass. black or white. im sure he wouldnt do that to pink or amy winehouse, adele, beth ditto… taylor swift is a skinny young girl who didnt do anything when he played her. you notice kanye never gets bold with anyone who will throw it back at him.
LMAO YAY OBOMA!
Re: safewithme – i stand corrected….but he would never do it to ANY black person, and that's the point…
That is really bad when he is calling you out lol
Take that Kanye!!!
Moron!!!
Ha! you know your a POS when the Pres calls you jackass.
BLACK BEAUTY——-can you SPELL? I don't understand your ghetto spelling variations. Do you think it makes you cool to spell shit shyt, or are you really that stupid? FUCK YOU AND YOUR KANYE>
i think this is the only thing i agree with the president on!!
but on the up side beyonce was a real lady with what she did!
Re: jooosh –
the only reason he said sorry was because he knew that everyone was thinking he was an ass hole and he has lost fans, hes not really sorry
Kanye made a boo boo, yes. But let's forgive him already. Perez, even you've made mistakes, which we won't repeat, which is the point. Live and let live. He's plenty sorry.
LMFAO
Re: Blk Beauty –
racial much?
hahaha obama rocks. at least he is real and says "jackass" instead of pretending to be some saint, which we already know NONE of our presidents have been. most of them are fucking nuts. i like obama. hes all good in my book
Uhhhhhhh-ohhhhhhhh NOW HE'LL HAVE TO GO ON T.V. AND SAY THAT Obama doesn't like B L A C K PEOPLE!!!!!
Kanye's drunkenness explains his behavior, but was in no way excusable or acceptable. He's an adult, he should be able to control himself and understand the concept common courtesy. This should not become a racial issue, but an issue about respecting others, and conducting oneself in a CIVIL manner. The fact that Taylor is white and Kayne is black, should have no relevance whatsoever. It's the fact that had the audacity to walk up stage, take the mic out of her hands while she was accepting her award, and announces to everyone how Beyonce's video was the "best of all time." ( Beyone' ended up receiving the Video of the Year award, anyway) But this was Taylor's first ever VMA, which America voted she deserved and this was her moment. I understand that many people thought differently, but hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but Kanye's stunt on stage made him look like a disrespectful DOUCHE. ANYONE who acts like that, will also look like a disrespectful douche.
some of the posts i've read on here so far, are so unbearably STUPID, that it makes me embarrassed for the human race.
Re: zumagirl –
Yeah, um somebody really needs a higher education. Racism is only ignorance after all.
Should change name to "Black Nasty Ugly"
another reason obama rocks lol
Messiah Hussein Dumbama's comments about effeminate Kanye is about the only truthful thing he has said in the last several months! The more I look at the picture above the more effeminate Kanye looks like a baboon holding a bottle of booze. Then add to that picture the whore by his side and you have the perfect picture of a low class piece of black trash.
OMG that image with the alcohol bottle is a disaster. At least what it does it that it excuses Kanye slightly because you realize that he has major problems. Please someone hospitalize him!!
Haha! I'd hope he feels like shit because even the President thinks his is a rude selfish bastard.
Why does Obama even know about this? Shouldn't he be busy trying to fix the economy and now worry about celebrity gossip? FAIL!
Re: Blk Beauty – I'm mainly referring to post's like your's… What you lack in spelling and simple sentence structure, you make up for in racism and ignorance. You and others like you, are people that fuel hate and intolerance, ultimately hindering the progress of mankind. You, along with everyone else, have no right, to be a racist piece of shit.
If he said that about Kanye, I wonder what he says about Joe Bidden.
Re: Blk Beauty – Damn. Anger issues much?
Re: Blk Beauty – Why don't you STFU!
Re: Blk Beauty – Ummmmm… "whites?" Would you appreciate it if I started calling people "blacks?"
lol way to go Obama!! xD
hahahahahahah
kristen cavalleri said she was supporting kanye in the pre show
I DONT THINK ANYTHING OBAMA SAID WAS TO BE RACIAL . ! I THINK HE LOVES ALL PPL ( AND IM BLACK BTW ) WHOEVER THAT BLK BEAUTY CHICK IS , LET ME SAY THIS . EVERYTHING DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE RACIAL ! I LIKE WHITE PPL JUST AS MUCH AS BLACK PPL , MAYBE EVEN MORE B/C ITS BLACK PPL LIKE YOU THAT MAKE THE REST OF US BLACK PPL LOOK LIKE WERE RACIST ! AND IM FARRRRRR FROM THAT !
Re: supersongbird – i know can't we all as a nation get along and fight the ppl everywhere else in the world thats trying to kill us !
I LOVE EVERYONE !
i love our president
LMAO
if the president says he's a jackass
THEN HE'S A JACKASS!
Maybe PRESIDENT OBAMA (they check those words behind all our back anyway, so he can read it (No offense Mr. President)) was a huge fan of the Jackass series with Johnny Knoxville, and he compared Mr. Kayne West with the Jackass crew ????
If we can forgive Ms. Serene Williams about her outburst, why couldn't we forgive President Obama for that little but unfortunately rude comment about Mr. Kayne West ???
He's still the best President you Americans had with the exception of Ex-President Clinton for a long long time. (that's just one opinion out of over 6.7 billion anyway, i know there will be plenty that disagree with me)
Didn't like Ex-President Bush Junior decisions most of the time, but don't forget, like any President, they always consult with their advices, and the decision based on those advices and personal thoughts, sometimes have an outcome that can and most of the time will backfire on them.
I think as he person, he seems like a great guy to be around, but that's also an opinion.
Have yourselves a great day.
P.S. My opinions are not always right, so Mr. Hilton, if i offended you in any way, of course, i apologise. I was born in Antwerp, and according to some, we are the most arrogant people you can find in Western Europe, but it doesn't make us bad people.
Obama should have called him a GAY FISH!!!
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – Forgive me for saying this, but isn't calling yourself black also racist in nature?
I'm also a color, i think it's between oker and bright beige, but i just call myself a man, like you are a woman, not a black woman, because, and this is something i've learned from the movie Malcolm X. Which i think is historically correct, try this for a change.
The man that helped out Malcolm in prison, said him to do this. "look up the word black, and the word white, in the dictionary and look what that word means" I think you will be UNpleasantely surprised. And after that, i don't think you will the calling yourself black anymore.
I know i will be rude or vulgar when i say this, but it doesn't make it less true.
No matter what skincolor we have, poke us with a needle, and our blood will be just as red. If we go to the toilet, and take a dump (or what is the proper expression in American English), we smell just as bad. If we pee into the wind, we will be just as embarred that we weren't smarter and pissed in the other direction.
It's because of him, that you are called an African-American. Or is it Afro-American?
I apologize if i offended you in any way.
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – Greetings from Belgium where we actually live in Harmony with the African community, and also Turkish and Moroccan communities. Unfortunately, thanks to Adolf Hitler's way of thinking for a part, and his followers now that think the same, only i don't see them making efforts to make sure that even middle and lower classes of people could afford a CAR to drive around with, and not only rich people. Nope, the just think racist in nature, which was just a little part of Hitler. They think, it's better to hate then to try.
ROFL!! I really hope that's true!
yeah Kanye is a jackass but damn obama why are u getting involved quit watching MTV and go fix the healthcare reform!!!!
fucking love it. his ratings just went back to the top.
Re: flor_hoorebeke – nothing offensive taken , I actually would like to thank you for bringing up the knowledge of what's "black" and whats "white" . I agree we are not a color my skin is complexed with a tanish liight brown. Most African American's dont think of ourselves as that anymore because all the stuff in the media and here in america now a days . Everyone feels that everything that doesn't come out of Obama's mouth makes sense , when we haven't even given him a chance yet . Not making it a race issue or anything to hurt anyone but when you hear most of the negative things said towards him , they are majoritly from the caucasian race . Yes I sometimes dont agree with Obama but if it were a Caucasian president in office would he get this much opinion ? I think not . Here in America I dont truly think we are ready to change , you see because we can't even get past the part that we do have an African American President . And the thing is is that he's African American and Caucasian !
I know everyone on Kanyes side is saying get over it but damn this is hilarious and i think ppl will keep talking about it for another week…dang sucks for taylor but i give it up to beyonce….
Re: Blk Beauty – The joke's on you!!!!!!
this guy wont be known for being a great artist, bet his mom is rolling in disgust…..he's done.
Re: hateliars – Because if you're president, that automatically means you're never allowed any free time, right? Don't you think he ever spends time with his family? He's not a robot. I wouldn't want an overworked, stressed out person running this country, would you?
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – Oh, entirely my pleasure.
If i were living in America, i would've voted for Hillary Clinton, because i believe that the best chance for getting your troops home, is a woman behind the metaphorical wheel. Though i must say, President Obama is a man of his word, because one of the first things on his agenda, was to bring the troops back home.
Infact, when i think about it, President Obama fullfilled more promises in his rather short time in office, then Ex-President Bush Junior did, and that is saying something.
If we have to believe history, taken science into account, then Jesus wasn't pale in nature, but colored, because he came from a region where everybody has a colored skin, blonde hair ??? I didn't know they had colorshampoo in those days, because according to science he would have had dark hair, and also darker eyes, but certainly NOT blue.
Why do they even claim that Jesus was "white", had blonde long hair and had blue eyes?? Simple, it wasn't until around 1950 that people of color gained more rights, like higher positions, with the exception of priests and reverends, so the first ever to allow people of color into their circle, was the vatican (probably to reach out to more people to tall that lie about Jesus).
For me it would be enough, that there was a Jesus at all, his skin color is the least of my concerns.
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – The thing i actually started questioning, wondering if you will, was:
Have a great day!
Does the African American community gained hope, or more hope, in reaching their goal in life, now that they have visual proof, that even an African American can become the most powerful man (or woman) with the highest position to reach?? Because looking at movies (which ofcourse aren't always untrue or exaggerated) i can't help noticing, that those almost 450 years of oppression is still very deep in most of the African American community. It's sad i think, there is so much more to experience in life, then to worry about the things you can't change anymore, because they happened in the past.
Anyway, it was nice to read your comment, i really appreciate it
i'm on myspace and facebook as well, and yes, Flor Hoorebeke is my real name
Obama likes Lil wayne better
Re: flor_hoorebeke – Yes i can say that many African Americans suffer still from oppresion . It is really hard for many to just let go of the things that happened in the past , but I have forgiven but not forgot . whats in the past is in the past and i dont wanna have any vengence against anyone . im all about giving love and as we both can see many Americans and people all over the world is trying to tlearn exactily what that is . It is a please talking to you . You must be a bit older . But im 15 years old and know how to speak well . lol well my name is Kelli C. Murray on Facebook . i no longer have a myspace . !:)
goddamn kanye is ugly as hell & his attitude just makes him look worse. & that's dirt ass ugly.
Re: ihypes – LMFAO wowww that makes sense tho
LMFAO! The world agrees on the same thing for once
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – Ah 15, that explains some things
Not that i have to speak up, or what is the proper expression, because i also make mistake in my writing
Well, i only live by 2 real laws, Ockhams Razor (for all things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one) which basically tells us, the most simple explanation that you can give for a problem, is usually the right one. And, of course Murphy's law, but for whom that still don't know that law, this tells us, if there is something that can go wrong, sooner or later it will go wrong.
I'm just turned 34 a month ago actually, so yes, i do have some "age-wisdom". Struggling with the past is a waste of time, unless you will benefit from it. The future is what you want to make of it. If you want to be rich and famous, start acting school, music school, or stop enjoying yourself during schooldays, and learn by yourself, go to the library, pick some books from next school year, and be one step in front of all others until your education days are over, your grades will be high enough to get into Harvard or another top university, you'll probably get a scholarship, and you can make your fortune in business.
It's up to you, what you want to become in 20 years when you are as old as i am over a year. A good idea is also a good way to start.
Good luck!
