Taylor Swift is 17, West was way out of line. As another poster mentioned, when questioned by Jay Leno as to how his Mother (who is deceased) would have reacted to his outburst, West came very close to tears.
An off the record, off the cuff comment made by The President should have remained off the record however, I have to agree with him. As Katy Perry said (of West)"it's like you stepped on a kitten".
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.
"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
if ever there was proof that some people will not hesitate to use absolutely anything obama says or does against him, this thread is it.

No joke! They seriously need some new material...some days posting here is like being in a room full of parrots. West was a jerk, President Obama is right,
and clearly some people are incapable of making a comment that doesn't deteriorate into an attempt to slime the POTUS, regardless of the subject. IMO it's not a healthy state of mind...it's like obsessive-compulsive disorder, or Tourette's Syndrome.

Why does a network has to appologize for the words of the president...are they so special you can't forward them on a tweet....
IMO the words are correct to be used for Kanye...but indeed not presidential!
But this president has proven not to be "presidential" at all and btw he thinks he is still campaigning ......
Terry Moran should be FIRED!, Stupid immature little boy. You don't get his kind of position by being of an average intelligence. He should have known that any off the record discussion with the POTUS is just that. At the very least, the office of the POTUS should cut off all access to ABC's reporters.
