Now, admittedly this thread isn't going to result in much constructive debate, but this has to be one of the most awesome quotes from an American President of all time. Can you think of anything better? Or funnier?

kanye west is a jackass. a talentless one to be precise.

 

[crotalidian]

"I did not, have sexual relations with Miss Lewinski"

Cracks me up every time

 

[DRADIS C0ntact]

Well all I can say is that the man couldn't be any more right if he wanted to be.

 

[Frankydee]

Was it ever not obvious that kanye west is a jackass? I thought that was common knowledge.

 

[Darkmark44]

Funny quote actually. I mean, the thing is I do agree with him. I do not really like Kanye and what he did was pretty much asshole behavior.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Oh man, I can't wait to hear Kanye's response to this.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Ha, I heard about this on Radio 1 this morning. Damn, things are funny when you're tired.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Didn't Kanye West spill his guts at Jay Leno about the whole ordeal? And that he was going to step out of the music business for a while in order to re-think his life?

Oh well. As long as I don't have to see his smug mug on the TV, it fine with me.

 

[Destal]

+1 respect for Obama. However, like other posters said, I don't think the overall news is a shock to anyone, it's just neat that our President agrees with common knowledge.

I'm not gay and I'm not a fish. I'm the leader of a generation and a genius.

 

[Joa_Belgium]

He's right. And he shouldn't be ashamed to say it. Kanye West is a jackass and that's nothing but the truth.

 

[traceur_]

I'm inclined to agree.

 

[silasbufu]

well this time it's fair to say he spoke on behalf not only of most americans, but must of the people in the world that know who kanye is.
I would really beat that guy up with a wrench. Not because of what he did at the vma's..i don't care about taylor swift personally..but because he is a narcisist and a self-proclaimed genius and voice of the contemporary generation.

"George Bush hates black people" -Kayne 'Jackass' West

LOL, kills me every time I see it on You Tube.

 

[ace_of_something]

Well... I mean he is a Jackass. I don't get why the media is like 'he should've not said such things nothing is off the record he should know that.' If I was the prez you know what I'd say.
"I'm saying this on record that what Kanye West did makes him a jackass. thank you."
Though hearing the president thinks you're a jackass has got to be damaging for your ego.

 

[Limos]

Nice. Obama calls it like it is.

 

[Kif]

I don't know who Kanye West is... or really care for that matter. However, what he did makes him come across like he's a complete arse.

He can say he's sorry till he's blue in the face, but it wont change what he is, like Mel Gibson.

 

[wadark]

The thing is...West ISNT sorry. He's done this crap before, apologized, and lo and behold, he's done it again. Boy who cried "wolf" comes to mind.

He's apologized this time, but he'll do it again.
