[Shirib]

So its not inappropriate he said it, its inappropriate that it was recorded?

Both!

Kanye is a jackazz....so annoying. good call on Obama's part...on or off the record.

btw: fact that obama is aware of everything that happens in his country..big or small...is a good thing.

It was an editorial mistake because the comment was off the record and apology was already issued to the white house for releasing that info.

Both!

But everyone already agrees that Kanye is a jackass

Y'll just dont get it

Whats inappropriate is that someone leaked that tape and info, when it wasn't supposed to go out, other than that, the President has a right to have an opinion, and a regular conversation. I

f he had said it on the record, or like in front of congress than that would be another case, but he didn't

It takes one to know one...so I guess Obama is a jack@55 too

Obama to call Kanye a 'jack-ass'

I dont think he should be commenting at all about that comment.

he's a president, to make a comment about such matter willl lower the respect people have for him over time . he shouldnt worry about such matters. is for celebs' gossip problem, and he aint a 'celeb'!

The reporter asked him about it, before the interview started, and he was having a normal convo. Its not as if, he did it on the record, in front of congress or anything. Are Presidents not allowed to talk about normal everyday things?

Obama IS celebrity...


I find it weird he didn't talk about MJ's death, but he comments on this

[surrender]

shirib i know, but he should just ignored or made the answer very simple, like "people should respect one another, the winner of that award deserved it and it should be respected" or something like that

macaanow ( ) he's not "celeb" waa famous person, and he's famous for being the first black president of USA! i see celeb as dhoocilooyinka who are on the cover of every mag known to earth, even the 87p one lol.

I'm so sick of people blowing this completely out of proportion.

It isn't as if the interview was dedicated to the matter.

It was small chat, instigated by a reporter. It was supposed to be off-the-record. The unprofesional one is that idiot Terry Moran.

"OMG, the President engages in idle chatter? You mean he isn't working 24/7?!"
He's human. He slips up. This is nothing in comparison to the filthy mouths that were on Nixon and LBJ. Get over it, guys.

Doubtful.

He's just said what we all were thinking.

He's a badass President. Bush wouldn't be able to get down like that.

I guess the negro gene has kicked in. Once negro always a negro. This is the second time he has given his opinion on some petty meaningless that even average Americans wouldn't discuss, let alone a President of the greatest country of the world
