Barack Obama Calls Kanye West an Asshole






Personally, I think it is great that our president tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to share his opinion about matters such as this one! In fact, this is one of the reasons why I am such a huge supporter of President Obama. He's a likable guy who isn't fake or phony like other politicians who we've come accustom to dealing with. When he does an interviews, he comes off as one of us. When he gives a speech, he makes those of us who are watching and listening feel like he's talking directly to us, making each and every one of us feel like we're important.

So when President Obama was asked his opinion about Kanye West and the antics he pulled the other night at the VMA's (when he went onstage during 19 yr old Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for best female video, practically ripping the microphone out of her hands, going on a rant about Beyonce's video being the best of the decade, implying Taylor Swift shouldn't have won the award) unlike most political figures, President Obama didn't avoid the question, or give us a phony response in order to avoid giving his critics something to whine and complain about. Instead he gave us his honest opinion, stating "I thought that was really inappropriate," then adding, "He's a jackass."

President Obama hit the nail right on the head on this one!
