President Obama on Kanye

Why all the hype over what the PResident said about Kanye. Is is so wrong for him to speak his mind and the truth. There is no excuse for what Kanye did to Taylor Swift ont he the MTV award show. He was outright wrong. Not only was this an embarrassment to Taylor but Beyonce was also embarrassed and shocked. So when the PResident says Kanye was a Jackass - he is only saying with millions of others have already said or are still thinking.

As a public official, you need alwasy to watch what you are saying, so many snoops out in the worls just waiting to latch on to one little slip up(such as the ABC people who reported this). I don't see a need for the President to appologize for this. I believe it would even be ok if he said it directly to Kanye. Kanye has done a lot in the music world, he has so much talent. To do this just tarnishes what he has accomplished. He is a Jackass.

The president's comments were spoken right before an interview for CNBC: "I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? ... The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"

A questioner chimes in, "Why would he do it?"

"He's a jackass," Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.

Nothing wrong about this in my book. He spoke his opinion. It was his explosion of thought. Quite frankly I agree with what he said. Kanye's father lives right here in St. Mary's County MD, I wonder what he thinks. I am sure his dad spoke to him about respect.
