President Obama Still Thinks Kanye Is A Jackass

Almost three years ago, President Obama united most of the American people when he said that certified jackass Kanye West was a jackass for popping the rainbow-coated bubble around real-life Anne of Green Gables, Taylor Swift, at the VMAs. Well, some things never change like Hillary Clinton's devotion to business casual glamour (see: her scrunchie) and Obama's thoughts on Kanye. While writing an essay for The Atlantic Wire on Kanye West's transformation into a fishsticks-loving, Macbook-breaking, crazy in the brains musical genius of sorts, writer David Samuels met President Obama at a fundraiser in NYC and asked about Kanye again. David and Obama's conversation went something like this:

Samuels: I have a question I want to ask you, Mr. President

Obama: Sure.

Samuels: Kanye or Jay-Z?

Obama: Jay-Z. Although I like Kanye. He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented.

Samuels: Even though you called him a jackass?

Obama: He is a jackass. But he's talented.

I see you trying to get your approval ratings to hit the clouds, Obama. Seriously, Obama could get re-elected for a history-making four more terms by running on this platform and this platform alone. But you know, something in the milk ain't clean about the Obamas' love for Jay-Z and Beyonce. First, Michelle Obama declares her love for Beyonce and now Obama is declaring his love for Jay-Z? AND Beyonce has suspiciously (not really) written an open love letter to Michelle Obama? Hmmm....

This reminds me of an e-mail I got from an anti-Jay-Z crazy when I wrote something semi-nice about Beyonce: "MK, what sound do you make when Jay-Z fucks you in the ass with a fat stack of hush money?" (True e-mail.) The answer to that is, I beg him to please direct deposit that fat stack of hush money into my checking account next time, because all the paper cuts in my ass tunnel are screwing up my social life.

We do have a president with valid opinions about important things. He was asked a frivolous question, and answered it.

I keep hearing "our celebrity president". Are people's memories so short that they forgot that Ronald Reagan was a B actor before he went into politics? He and Nancy palled around with Hollywood and music pals regularly throughout their presidency
**************************************************

One main difference: Reagan used his celebrity to attain the Presidency. Obama has used his presidency to attain celebrity.

Ugh even as a supporter I just don't like the president calling people jackass and praising a sexist idiot like Jayz, who decided to only retire the b word after his daughter's birth, as if no other woman, even as he aged well into his 30s, were respectable or important, especially since his bank account mattered more than anything. And the pres needs to spend some time on YouTube and then determine, especially as a father to two daughters, whether jayz and beyonce are worthy role models. And dissing kanye seems equivalent to fighting w someone half his size, imo. And stop trying so hard, pres. The young ppl already think you're " cool."

Never a more truer thing has been spoken.

Obama deserves a second term just on that answer alone. And by the way, with all the crazy shit going on in the world today (most of it NOT covered on American news at all), why the FUCK are they asking the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, a stupid fucking question like who do you like better? Jay Z or Kanye?

What the FUCK?????? :((((( This has nothing to do with nothing and yet the President has to face stupid, fucking questions like this because today's reporters are nothing more than minimally education twats with fancy degrees and not common sense.

And you know what? KANYE IS A JACKASS. And he's not THAT talented (neither is JayZ for that matter).

Deb, fully agree with you and others. Obama gave a perfectly appropriate answer. And if he'd been asked a "serious and important question" he could have answered it competently as well. The writer probably did query him on other topics but this got the big headline! Woo-hoo

Deb, excellent point about Ron, who was the president when I was born.

They are all figure heads, but there is more to it, though it is too subtle for people to notice the little differences.

I do think it is funny that some media mouth piece thinks this is a good question to ask.

"While writing an essay for The Atlantic Wire on Kanye West's transformation into a fishsticks-loving, Macbook-breaking, crazy in the brains musical genius of sorts, writer David Samuels met President Obama at a fundraiser in NYC and asked about Kanye again."

context is everything. this seems to be someone writing a book about GayFish asking a big time public figure a follow-up question about a well-reported slam same big time public figure previously made about said GayFish. it's not like it was a political issues interview and a question about Kanye was on the planned agenda of either. it was a question asked at what reads like private chat at a fundraiser, and it got reported. imo, not a misdirection of presidential or media attention span.
