Obama calling Kayne West a "jackass" was very foolish on his part.

It sets a bad example. Plus, on a Yahoo user-poll, over 50 percent of Americans stated they were unsatisfied with Obama's presidency so far. What does that say about him?

It was off the report, off the report the president can say what ever he wants, he is a human being with opinions.

So the president can't show that he is an opinionated human being just like the rest of us?

It's not like he was wrong about the subject, anyways...

Man, I'm not the biggest fan of Obama but, really? Are people really going to try and call him out on this this? The president isn't infallible, what do people think he talks about behind the scenes? This is such a non-issue.

Nah, Obama was right to call Kanye a jackass. It is the most truthful thing to fall from a politician's mouth for years.

I'd say that has nothing to do with the jackass incident.

Seeing what actually happened and hearing about it all third party is completely different. Your comment is hilarious. I am not American but I have great respect for Obhama for saying what he did; and in my opinion it actually shows good morals on his part by defining one as a 'Jackass' for bad behaviour.

To put it simply... Kanye got on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, took her microphone and said Beyonce's video is the "best of all time" then stormed off stage.

Yes I never understood that about some people. They complain that politicians are liars but once one of them has the balls to speak the truth they criticize them and demand them to go back to the usual BS political rethoric. I guess people deserve what they get.

Actually I agree with that poll. I think being nude is natural and should not always be linked to something perverse and exclusively sexual. I think this adversion at nudity is a trait of a sick society and not the other way around.

So what? I'm glad President Obama called out that ego maniac. Kudos to President Obama. His comment wasn't foolish. I hope that KW realizes how big of a jackass he really is. Maybe now KW will think before acting like a fool on national tv when he's a "role model" for so many ppl. Acting ignorant towards others the way KW does shouldn't be acceptable, and he should be called out for his actions.

It says Obama is a GREAT preseident and that Kanye West is a complete and total JACKASS!

I applaud Obama for speaking the TRUTH. Hopefully Kanye packs his bags and moves to Canada or Mexico so he can disappear.

I think americans with their puritanism are funny. It's the same thing when they make a fuzz out of a side boob in a video game but have no problem with blowing limbs all over the place. I've been to countries where it is acceptable to be nude not necessarily in a sexual way (in fact those countries have many movies where kids appear nude). I even would bet that the rate of sexual predators in the US is higher than in those countries just because everything is so taboo in the US so more sickness comes along.
