Obama: Kanye’s a ‘jackass’

Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but President Obama apparently thinks Kanye West is a “jackass.” He delivered his take on West’s mike-grabbing diss of Taylor Swift at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards during a chat with CNBC. Terry Moran of ABC saw the feed, didn’t realize it was off-the-record, and put it out on Twitter. ABC apologized.

Last night, West took to Jay Leno’s late-night couch to apolozie to Swift and her fans.
