ABC News reporter Terry Moran caused quite a commotion tonight on Twitter following after writing: "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a "jackass" for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."

Although it wasn't long before Moran removed it, with over a million followers, the tweet quickly bounced around Twitter through various users.

Now, an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:

The American people demand to know if President 0bama agrees that Beyoncé had one of the best music videos of all time or not!

I saw a little snippet on TV but couldn't understand what West said or in what context. All the posts here just have O's comments.

ABC Reporter mocks Obama...

The bloom is off the rose.

Obama calls Kanye a 'jackass'...

Symbol of the Dem Party! lol.

To be fair, I remember when President Bush gave us the 'Clymer' euphemism. Vice President Cheney agreed with his assessment "big time", and we all did too! lol.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Yep, Obama is right; Kanye is a jackass. Takes one to know one, I guess.

Just don’t call him a gay fish.

[Right Wing Assault]

Does that make me dirty?

It makes you a racist.

[Charles Martel]

Broken clock. L0L

No, that would be twice daily.

This belongs in the "blind pig/acorn" category.

The President of the United States is supposed to have some dignity.

LOL!!!
And while 0bozo the magic Negro tries to restore his dignity, I will continue to call 0bozo a socialist-fascist-commie pig usurper!!!

[WOSG]

He’s calling him a Democrat. ....

There goes the President ... coarsening the culture.

[South40]

I think that’s pretty much an indication there will be no verification. Zero isn’t going to admit he said it although we’ll have to wait and see if Gibbs is questioned about it. And ABC sees publishing it as an error, an error they have no wish to verify. I’m not holding my breath.

[Publius Maximus]

Wow, he finally gets something right, and the media can’t wait to scrub it from the record.

[WOSG]

“Leave it to “O” to deal with something inconsequential truthfully and off the record. “

This was DELIBERATE ... Obama wants a Sista Souljah ...
meanwhile, he coarsens the culture while denouncing it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Crap, I agree with Obama on this one. Does that make me dirty?

Yeah, I am stunned by this as well. I actually agree with Barack Obama, I guess there really is a first time for everything. Funny, Jackass is the exact word I used to describe Kanye last night. I guess Obama just lost Kanye as a voter.

The President of the United States is supposed to have some dignity.

They generally do, unless they're a Chicago street punk or a cigar-abusing hillbilly from Hope.

[rvoitier]

And yet not a word on his communist czar or his illegal alien underage sex slave corruption ring.

Isn’t Cognac a “white” beverage?

It was back when Charles Emerson Winchester, III used to drink it. Now, it's more associated with the old SNL "Ladies' Man" skit - for a reason. I'm not sure how and when this change took place, but Courvoisier is now the high-end Ripple.

Taylor Swift looks gorgeous. Other than that, I have never heard of her, or of her music, or of some supposed music video that she won some award for. Don’t know, don’t care, but anything that 0bozo says or does to open his mouth & insert his stinky feet, is good enough for me!!! Courtesy of another 0bozo media hack, Terry Moran, who inadvertantly caused some more embarrassment to his messiah 0bozo!!! Piss be upon him!!!
