Kanye West debacle with Taylor Swift:


He has such a false sense of entitlement that he once again showed his ugly side. When looking for division, whether race, gender or age we can always find those that will epitomize bigotry .... For shame, for shame!

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a "jackass" on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.

"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday evening to his more than 1 million followers.

The tweet forced the network to issue an apology after the Internet quickly became abuzz over the stunning remark published on the microblogging site.

I thought it was hilarious that Obama called him this. To me it showed his human side, and perhaps people who feel he's pulling race card in some of his "issues" will think a little differently.
