President Obama Called Kanye West a Jackass

Posted on September 14, 2009

Everyone was angry at Kanye West last night for jumping on stage and >rudely interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. Taylor Swift won Best Female Video and Kanye thought Beyonce's song was better. One of the people angry at Kanye West was apparently President Obama.

ABC reporter Terry Moran reported on his Twitter, @TerryMoran, that, "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."

Vulture reports that Terry Moran has since deleted the tweet because President Obama's remarks were supposed to be off the record.
