Obama Calls Kanye West a Jackass – Obama calls Kanye West a jackass in an off-the-record interview with CNBC and some think this is one of the only things Obama has gotten right in a while.

Even though Obama called Kanye a jackass in a portion not meant for the public, this has gotten the floundering president some much needed public approval.

The White House appears to be doing some damage control over the “jackass” statement, but many believe he should not deny, apologize for, or retract the statement. Even Joe Wilson could not call Obama a liar when he calls Kanye West a jackass. A fair estimate would be that about 99.9% of the American people would agree.

1stNews does not often agree with Obama or Obama policy, but when Obama calls Kanye West a jackass, that is one statement on which we wholeheartedly agree.
And that’s the latest news about the CNBC interview where Obama Calls Kanye West a Jackass.

So why is OK for this president to call a citizen of this country a jackass and that police officers acted stupidly and NEVER APOLOGIZED but Wilson is scrutinized for calling him a liar? Wilson apologized IMMEDIATELY… what kind of message is Obama sending? He can do whatever he wants but everyone else must bow to him? This would explain why he is not hearing the public outcry on his health care…

Yes, President Obama proves his ability to identify problem areas and correctly identify them. Also, Obama proves he is not racist in correctly identifying a “Jackass.”
