Crap, I agree with Obama on this one. Does that make me dirty?

Finally, something I can back our President to the hilt on.

I wonder if Kanye will say that Obama hates Black people now.

Trying to put distance between himself and his thug homies. Too late.

Was Serena Williams a jackass too? Michael Jordan?

That should make him eligible for a czar position along with the other jackasses.

Personally, I think the President should be above criticizing the tacky behavior of celebrities. And calling someone a jackass is hardly what a statesman does. Obama has no idea how to be president.
