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

Whats wrong with him calling Kanye West a jackass?
Presidents are human to, but when you're right, you're right. Maybe he just found middle ground with a lot of Republicans.
I think anyone who is mad at the President for speaking the truth, in a off the record comment, is just being political, and will never admit when the man is right.
You don't think Presidents talk the way they do on Television all the time do you? Those are prepared speeches, they don't actually talk like that. People close to George Bush said he was much better in one on one then he was during a speech.
Although I'm a fan of Kanye, what he did was outta line man!
Come on, the girl's 19, her first award and then there's mr Big Mouth Kanye who has to ruineverything for the gal.
He could do it, but not at the VMA's. Put it on a blog or your site, a Tweet, I dunno, but not this

And I shouted out "You lie!" during a Presidential speech to Congress but if an outrageous comment is made by me in the forest/livingroom when no media is present to hear it, is there sound?
Ummmm. I don't really see any challenges coming from anyone except maybe Kanye's mother on the "jackass" comment. Now, if the President was Bush...
