Obama: Kanye West is a Jackass

[electric_warrior]

he's the best modern rapper, but then that is like winning the competition for world's tallest midget.

 

[ae86gamer]

Cool. Even the president thinks Kanye is a jackass... which he is.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

It's Kanye West people. If you were to look up jackass on a dictionary, you'd find his face next to the definition.

One of the funniest maybe, but not the best quote, there are some pretty awesome quotes out there by US presidents, granted I may not of agreed with much your government did over the last decade, but you've had some cool dudes running the place before the shrub took office.

What I find wierd is that the other people in the audio clip were laughing their heads off at the word 'jackass.'

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?

Now, hold on, I'mma let you finish, but Barack Obama has one of the best quotes of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Alright, now that I've got that out of my system... I <3 Barack for saying that, even if it was off the cuff and he wanted to retract it. HE SPEAKS TRUTH.

I still think JFK has better quotes.

"I am a jelly filled doughnut"

Nah. Ask anyone with even a passing knowledge of German and tehy'll tell you he said it right.

Wikipedia says otherwise...sort of....

He did say it right, but it also means "I am a jelly filled doughnut."

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I never liked Obama until now. I'll still disagree with much of what he does, but it's nice to know we're on the same page as far as Kanye goes.

 

[Woodsey]

Never has a truer thing been said.

 

[Zersy]

Kanya this has been a long time coming but you really have lost all your talent and now have been asigned as official jackass by the President himself !

 

[Adinoman]

Kanye West is talentless jackass and definitely is a gay fish. Also, this made me laugh:

He did say it right, but it also means "I am a jelly filled doughnut."

In fact, the opposite is true: The citizens of Berlin do refer to themselves as Berliner; what they do not refer to as Berliner are jelly doughnuts. While these are known as "Berliner" in other areas of Germany, they are simply called Pfannkuchen (pancakes) in and around Berlin. Thus the merely theoretical ambiguity went unnoticed by Kennedy's audience, as it did in Germany at large. In sum, "Ich bin ein Berliner" was the appropriate way to express in German what Kennedy meant to say

I suggest you actually read the articles you're trying to use to back up your words instead of quickly skimming through them.

At least Obama is human, rather then stuck in his arse so much he only pleases the crowd.

Kanye West, the only reason why you wanted beoncye or whatever to win was because she has tits flappin' about more so then a GOOD song and video, i hope he continues being booed.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I loved the way he said it. So relaxed. Now he's a president I think I can get on with.

+50 Exp for Obama.

 

[Davey Woo]

That was brilliant.

 

[ace_of_something]

The VMAs thing was staged. If you can't see that, then you're a moron.

How do you figure? I didn't see the signs of it being staged.

Also, this moron welcomes you to the escapist.

 

[ScarlettRage]

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

it is
Taylor Swift deserved it

 

[Soxafloppin]

Probley the greatest thing obama has done in his reighn is say that.

 

[MalevolentJim]

This is why Obama is the coolest president ever.
Kanye must feel like such a prick right now.
