Obama Calls Kanye A Jackass

by Tim Cashmere - September 30 2009

At a recent press conference with President Obama, a rare informal recording of the president and journalists chatting was leaked where Obama referred to Kanye West as a ?Ç£jackass?Ç¥.

The general public might not realise it, but there is often a lot of small talk that goes on before and after interviews and press conferences and it is often where the subject is at their most relaxed and natural state.

A journalist, identified only as ?Ç£Joe?Ç¥ asked the President, ?Ç£Were your girls as hacked off as mine were when Kanye gave Taylor Swift the Jo Wilson treatment??Ç¥

Obama?ÇÖs response was ?Ç£I thought that was really inappropriate. She?ÇÖs getting an award! I?ÇÖm thinking, why are you butting in? The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she?ÇÖs getting her award. What?ÇÖs he doing up there? He?ÇÖs a jackass.?Ç¥

He then plays down what he just said saying ?Ç£Go easy on the President,?Ç¥ and adds ?Ç£Last time there was the fly thing,?Ç¥ in reference to when he swatted a fly and PETA send him a ?Ç£humane fly catcher?Ç¥.

I don?ÇÖt know about you guys, but I like a president that calls a jackass a jackass.
