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

not only does he speak the truth, but he speaks well for the people

im sure everyone watching Kanye that night facepalmed and went "Jackass..."

its nice to know we dont have a prude in office, either

a President can't state his opinions in an off-the-record, informal interview?

Come on, The Preisdent can't be expected to be polite and formal all the time away from the microphone.

And yes, I agree with him.

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

This just in, Kayne West was reported saying in regards to Obama comment that Obama doesn't care about black people.

Obama is entitled to his opinion.

He doesn't need to apologize in this situation. o_o

I didn't see what Kayne West did, but I certainly heard about it. Obama calling Kayne West a jackass for what he did is probably worse than that KW did. KW is notorious for having a massive ego. Obama is a president, and his comment makes him look unprofessional, regardless of whether or not you agree with him. A president should not be calling out fellow Americans like that. 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?Sharkep

Obama said that ? not foolish at all in my opinion, its the truth.

first of all nobody is really sure he said it. Second of all it was supposed to stay out of the press if he said it at all third who cares? and fourth that poll has nothing to do with your orignal argument.Serraph105

They have an audio recording of him saying it. I'd say that's pretty sure.

Either way, it was off the record, he's free to express his opinions in ways that don't affect his job. The media just fumbled this one by leaking it.

hmm ok well he was asked. wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that the media shouldnt bother him with questions like that?

In a perfect world...

Yeah, Presidents aren't supposed to tell the truth.CptJSparrow

Yeah, a terrible judgement from Obama 'cause Kanye West is gonna now make a statement that says, "Obama doesn't like black people but himself!!"

Kanye West is a jackass. Why criticize Obama for being honest?

He's a human being. He has opinions of his own too. Get over it :roll:Maniacc1
