Obama calls Kanye a 'Jackass'

During an interview(audio) with CNBC Obama was talking during an 'off the record conversation' when he was overheard calling Kanye West a "jackass" regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. The remark was made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.

"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.

I think that Obama speaks for the nation in his quote, but I also think it was extremely unprofessional for ABC to post that given the fact that it was off-the-record banter not part of the actual interview.

There are some great photos of Kanye West interupting other moments in history.
