Video Emerges of Obama Calling Kanye West a ‘Jackass’`

CNN ^ | Sept. 16, 2009

Obama: "Cut the President some slack."

[southernerwithanattitude]

Well, I finally agree with “dear Leader about something.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Obama needs to apologize to West at next year’s MTV-A-Corn.

[Nervous Tick]

This is fabulous. We’ll be seeing a LOT of this one!

What’s even more exciting is, it’ll ignite a skirmish between the press and the Prez. Hide and watch.

[teletech]

This MAY have been meant in a very complimentary way since the symbol of the RAT party is, well, A JACKASS!

[txroadkill]

see...we can find common cause with the President. Maybe this is something we can build on.

[DejaJude]

For once, I agree with him.

[Sir Beowolf]

He didn't lie and he gave us Transparency.

[jwalsh07]

This is a Sister Souljah planned moment. That should be clear to anybody with any knowledge of the Chairmans operation.

[Callahan]

This is the best press Obama is getting these days. It makes him look hip enough to know who Kanye is and smart enough to know the guy is a tool.

“Cut the president some slack”

pompous jackass himself

I wonder if he talks about himself in the 3rd party, to Michelle

[TigersEye]

That’s what I thought. This is the first thing I agree with 0bozo about. When he said he wasn’t going to apologize I had to appreciate that too. A lesson for Republicans; don’t apologize for telling the truth.

[TigersEye]

I thought that too. A completely scripted strategic “oops.”

[murphE]

In that one instant, I actually found him likable. I think I need to take a shower now.

[Callahan]

The way he says it is sort of “I hate to dog on a brother” lol. But the tone also implies that he has prior knowledge of Kanye West’s jackassery. He must have met him at some Dem event and not been impressed.

[Callahan]

Nah it wasn’t scripted but they are employing it as such after the fact.

[FrdmLvr]

Takes one to know one.

[CharlesWayneCT]

This is only out because President Obama decided that the reaction to the leaked audio was positive.

CNN would never have let this out otherwise — because it was shot during set-up, and set-up IS off the record, and should be, unless the President says something that is truly news-worthy.

[FR_addict]

Ditto. Kanye made a jackass of himself. So how can this possibly hurt Obama.

If he called the Acorn workers — Jackasses, then I might believe it was a leak.

[True Republican Patriot]

It takes a “JACKASS” to Know a “JACKASS!” so I must agree with You. We have finally found something that OBOZO has special expertise in knowing and understanding and hence being able to identify with crystal clear vision! not clouded by inebriants and mind altering drugs he has confessed to partaking in the past....
