In the midst of the Kanye West-Taylor Swift VMA scandalous encounter, rumor has it the Pres. Barack Obama called Kanye a jackass. Hearsay, hearsay, the worlds’ most powerful man would not say such a thing.
I think we are all putting him too much up on a pedestal because the man really called him so!.
TMZ got the tape of his candid statement which was recorded just minutes before is CNBC interview.
He tried to ward off the negative issue that may rise about this comment by saying “Cut the President some slack.”
He actually does not have to shift gear, the comment was appropriate and makes him more human.
