President Obama has weighed in on Kanye West’s tirade at the MTV Video Music Awards, and not just in this hilarious mash-up of the president’s recent speech to Congress.
In real life, TMZ caught Obama on tape calling West a “jackass” during an interview with CNBC. The only problem: the president was apparently speaking candidly in an off-the-record portion of the interview, which ABC newsman Terry Moran also then re-broadcast to his more than one million followers on Twitter.
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.
It was unclear whether Moran overheard Obama’s West-bashing quote or got it from a portion of transcripts that went out to other reporters.
