I knew he had his good points. What I don’t know is why he’d insist on keeping this off the record.
ABC News reporter Terry Moran caused quite a commotion tonight on Twitter following after writing: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”…
Now, an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:
In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
Has he said anything nearly this harsh about the many, many A-holes in his own party who’ve spent the past month demagoging ObamaCare opponents in the most odious terms?

Sorry, I dont have a problem with it. Nor with Bush’s “major league a-hole” comment about the Slimes reporter.

Obama should go to the VMAs and apologize for this hateful outburst!
He just cant stand that a talented, smart, black man is speaking his mind!

Barry is getting flustered, got all wee-weed up, and acted stupidly. Will Kanye visit the White Crib for some brews?

Of course, Bambi thinks that everyone on Earth besides himself is a jackass but in this one case, at least, he’s right.

So... Obama's a racists now? Or was he just pandering to the "tea baggers" with a scripted off the record comment against a black man. The MSM wouldn't publish a sneeze by this guy without asking him if it was okay. B/S meter alert.
