President Obama calls Kanye West ‘Jackass’

September 16, 2009

Officially, rapper Kanye West is not a “jackass” — at least not as far as the White House is concerned.

President Barack Obama apparently was speaking off the record Monday when he used that term to characterize the performer’s stunning interruption of Taylor Swift during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. While Swift was accepting the award for best female video, West rushed the stage, grabbed the mic and proclaimed that Beyonce had made the best video of all time.

ABC News’ Terry Moran tweeted the president’s off-the-cuff comment about West to his 1 million-plus followers on Twitter.
