Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass' - Political News - FOXNews.com

You know your a Jackass when the President calls you one! I wonder will this be in the history books? This is a media nightmare for Kanye. Below is the post from Fox News you can also read it on the link above.

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

Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.

"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday evening to his more than 1 million followers.

The tweet forced the network to issue an apology after the Internet quickly became abuzz over the stunning remark published on the microblogging site.

An ABC spokesperson said, "In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview," Politico reported. "This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."

Moran's tweet has since been deleted, but can still be accessed.

West, who is no stranger to controversy, apologized for the incident after Sunday night's MTV broadcast and again Monday night during an interview on the premiere of NBC's "Jay Leno Show."

West told Leno he's going to take some time off to reflect and that "it was rude, period."

"I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve. If there's anything I could do to help Taylor in the future or help anyone, I'd like to," he said.

The White House had no immediate comment on the matter, Politico reported.

Getting Back In The Groove

My thoughts of the day first off Kanye - Ignorant move? Yes. Is his apology good enough? I don't think his words can erase Taylors memory of winning her first award. For that he just sucks. Second thought of the day Indie Music Mondays I think is what we are going to start making official. How about we call M.I.M Memphis Independent Music Mondays? Yeah I like that. All indie artist email me or call me 901-213-6368 let me know what u got going on new for the week. I know Skewby got a mixtape release party coming up. Dj Chico got a new mixtape out, Richy shot behind the scenes @ Drumma Boy Welcome 2 My City video this past weekend. There were a host of Indie Memphis artist that came out for that. I got a host of events in my FB inbox for the weekend. People complain but Memphis has some things popping if we could tone down on the violence against each other for no reason we would be all right. Umm yeah I typed umm that's about it. OH! Big ups to the Grizz! Ticket sales are at a all time high and merchandise is selling out everywhere thanks to our new addition A.I. That's a big plus to the city.
