‘ROUND THE WAY: PRES. OBAMA CALLS KANYE A “JACKASS” DURING AN “OFF-THE-RECORD” INTERVIEW
Monday, September 14, 2009
ABC News reporter Terry Moran caused quite a commotion tonight on Twitter after writing the following:
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.” (AUDIO NOW AVAILABLE)
Although Moran quickly removed the tweet, he has over a million followers, and it quickly bounced around Twitter through various users and can still be found here.
An ABC spokesperson explained to Politico what happened:
In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
The White House has not commented on the incident, but I’m sure we’ll hear more in the coming days.

We’ve all been saying the same thing/? What’s new? But I guess he’s the president, so it’s a bigger story.
You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.”

He called Kanye out, but didn’t say crap to Joe Wilson?….ummkay. Kanye was hella wrong and it was messed up, but he apologized so let’s move on. Everybody though Joe Wilson outburst was okay, but Kanye became public enemy #1. I think America just look for the next person they can hate and criticize. Chris Brown getting a well deserved break since Kanye and Serena.

You can’t say .. “doesn’t he have more important things to worry about… like this this and this” he only took 1 second out of his life to address that, while you took 1 minute to write a respond when you yourself could be “having more important things to worry about..”

No body knows if Obama called Joe Wilson a jackass or not. This Kanye comment was “off the record” it just so happens that there were nosey ass people around who over heard and felt the need to put the presidents business on his twitter page for millions to read. Once it gets on twitter, theres not point in deleting it…its in Twitter-cyber space forever! lol. If Obama called Joe a jackass, nobody was around to overhear it and put it up on the internet.
And aren’t people forgiving Kanye already? On twitter ppl are saying he learned his lesson after Jay Leno asked him about how his mom would have reacted or something like that.

Oh, I’ don’t know if a lot of people on here watch tennis, but Roger Federer went off on the chair umpire tonight. He was cursing just like Serena only he didn’t threaten the person, but he did say shut the f up talking to me. So that brings me to my point, Where is all the rage and unsportsman like talk Serena received?
P.S. Watch Serena on Goodmorning America tomorrow

@j. drakar - concreteloop should be very careful on how they report statements that the PRESIDENT “ALLEGEDLY” said.
I mean there are no direct quotes from the President, nothing. It was made off the record and we know what that mean - its chance that it never actually occurred.
We as Black Media cannot carelessly release statements allegedly made by our most PROMINENT FIGURE IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL, MORE PROFESSIONAL.
We as Black Media cannot participate in nonesense like other sites. I dont believe ABC gave Politico any statements. I checked Politico and the person who claimed ABC apologized and there is no direct quote either, there is no specific person they (politico) can point to and say hey this person said it.
Plus do you think that PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WOULD USE PROFANIT AFTER HE STATED THE MASSACHUSETTS POLICE ACTED “STUPIDLY” WHEN THEY ARREST HIS FRIEND THE HARVARD PROFESSOR. YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT WOULD USE THAT TYPE OF PROFANITY WHILE HE IS THE FATHER OF 2 SMALL CHILDREN???
All i’m asking is that concreteloop dont adopt these alleged comments as true and and a media source - you all should report alleged actions of the PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. - with a little more caution.
other than that everything is fair game.
just my 2 sense!

the word “ALLEGEDLY” goes a long way. b/c what happens if this was never a true comment? the damage is already done. People believe what they hear first not the truth.

Why the hell did God give us free will then- for stuf like this? Man, he’s human, its all forgiven but I agree with Malcom’s comment- women were quick to back up Chris when he beat Rihanna but now because Kanye snatched a mic from a 19 YEAR OLD GIRL (last i checked ur an adult in the U.S. at that age) we should burn him at the stake? WTF, how bout we worry bout our economy, healtcare, our ozone layers, and our genocides going on in our world rite now…there is WAYYY MORE important stuf than this…
Just remember, when we point the finger to others, there are 3 fingers pointing back at us…

What makes you think he didn’t say something similar about Joe Wilson OFF THE RECORD? Seriously, half of this site is completely ignorant.

People are talking about how Obama did not call the “you liar” dude a jack ass, but who’s to say he didn’t. White people have a way of twisting stories. For all we know they could have did this purposely to reflect the president in a bad light.
We might not feel it was a bad remark, but think of what the rest of America, a majority of them being republicans, think.

I don’t understand this obsession with the black community to continually follow in the footsteps of celebrities that are nothing but walking stereotypes (West, Knowles, Carter, Brown, Kelly, etc). West, like many medicore entertainers that have been labeled a star, always makes an idiot out his followers. For example, West says that he does not like to read, but then he writes a book about reading, and people buy it. This man has not done or said anything profound or deep and yet some defend him, but are willing to stop supporting the president over Kayne. Kayne has even called bi-racial black women muts, WHERE IS THE FAKE OUTRAGE? There is none, black women are hated by black men. Heck, I didn’t even stop supporting Pres. Bush over Kayne, so you know Pres. Obama still has my support.

I’m pretty much over it, and him at this point but I think the media and press will be milking the episode for all it’s worth for a few more days to come. Unfortunately, everytime a Black person is in front of the media or living their life in the spot light wether they’d like to accept it or not they represent all us. If they say/do something ignorant… we ALL appear ignorant. Sad, but true. And after all of this progression to move forward and having the Obamas’ in the office… we’ve taken like 10 steps back with this ignorant BS that Kanye portayed at the VMA’s on Sunday night.

“People are talking about how Obama did not call the “you liar” dude a jack ass, but who’s to say he didn’t. White people have a way of twisting stories. For all we know they could have did this purposely to reflect the president in a bad light.

1. “White people have a way of twisting stories?” I don’t think anyone with half a brain thinks that only white people twist stories, or that a majority of whites do this (unless they are on Fox News! lol)
2. The rest of America is not Republicans. Democrats are a majority of every demographic group in the US. The only group that is majority democratic is white, non-college educated above age 55. Every other group voted for Barack!
Defending the indefensible is stupid, Kanye acted like an Asshole, Serena acted like an Asshole, Chris Brown acted like a criminal and Obama kept it real!
Criticizing Obama while defending these indefensible actions is crazy!

I have to say I was not a big fan of hers But the love she showed to Taylor last night she gain one more fan I think that was so sweet of her. It shows that she has made it and she has every award under the sun not getting one was not going to kill her. and plus she got the greatest award of the night. So Beyonce fan let Taylor have one.

Ummm… FYI we done know that Kanye West is a JACKASS! So why is this even news. Barack just called it like he saw it. What you think becasue he is Black we should be defending the poor behaviour of each other. Only STRONG black people will tell one of their own that you messed up,or you looked foolish doing that. We should be doing that for each other. So that we may groom each other.
I truly believe that Kanye is mentally ill. Some make think his antics arecute, funny, keeping it real when really this is clearly a cry for help. Celebrities always start off small with their antics until the real source of their problem is revealed.

MY2SENSE that was real talk. Some black people are so diversively stupid it makes you wish you weren’t black sometimes. Most blacks no nothing about sticking together. The way Kanye handled that was dead wrong but his point was so right and as for Obama and all the who’s to say he didn’t call out “Liar” dude, who’s to say he did? Obama is the most disrespected president ever! Then to have something to say about Kanye’s ignorance but not attend the funeral of the Greatest Entertainer, humanitarian ever “Michael jackson” says a lot about Mr.Obama. I’m rooting for him to turn it around but damn it doesn’t look good.

Unfortunately this post proves that some Concreteloop readers are literally some of the most ignorant, uneducated, sheep on the planet. And clearly many are teenagers.
Some of you children really need to grow up - fast, and I feel sorry for you if you are being dead serious when you say “I will no longer support Obama because of this.” Do society a favor and go read a book–immediately.
I can’t believe how unprofessional that reporter was to tweet this. He should be immediately fired. Further, “off the record” means it was never meant to be released, and was not an “official statement.” He stated a passing comment and some idiot took advantage of the situation, trying to make a name for himself, and posted it on the internet.

He just stated his opinion even though he could have done it after the show. Next time think before u do, Kanye!! To be honest, Taylor should not have won…it should have gone to Pink!!

When he said everybody makes mistakes in reference to Joe Wilson. He had some other things to say about him as well. This man is being criticized from left to right just like presidents before him.

But damn, can’t a man say or do something that’s not related to politics? He’s human. You weren’t there. You don’t know how the situation went down.

Yes, the President has more pressing things to worry about and discuss rather than what idiotic thing Kanye did…but he is human and in touch with what is going on and I don’t see a problem with that. Unfortunatley for him, the very things he is a huge advocate for( blackberry’s, facebook, twitter, technology on the whole) will come back to bite him in the ass if he is not careful when he is asked these questions that have nothing to do with what he is discussing at the time.
Some feel that we need to support Kanye and yada, yada, yada…I feel what he did was inappropriate and stand by that regardless of what race the person was he offended. I honestly feel if it was someone older or black that had one that award he would not have done that shit. No one os faulting him for his opinion, but it was the manner in which he chose to do it. Hell he could have said something later on at the end of the show or whenever. Someone was saying about time MTV gets called out etc…if he is so upset with them, why the hell does he just not go to their events? Him and Amber could have stayed home and watch like his ass ended up doing anyway. I respect those that speak out when it is necessary, but when it is done in an educated manner. What he did was just ghetto and if he was trying to take a stance and make a point, his shit back fired and he is null and void right now. He need to wire his damn mouth back up for a little while.

But where were their MOTHERS when they were saying this? Where were the FATHERS? See, what I want to do is to challenge people on concreteloop to stop thinking in cycles. As a teacher, as a mentor, none of my students are allowed to defend Christ Brown’s actions to me. That says more to my students then President Obama ever could. It is funny that this was brought up because one of my students actually challenged one of my writings describing how black men are the greatest offenders of black women (It’s true Judah, It’s true), not always physically but through their words and actions. I told her honey, if I had a daughter, she would not be allowed to bring another Chris Brown CD in my house. Let me connect this back to the article. When will we get tired of defending the ignorant. Kayne West has even described black women as mutts, and yet here we are. You see what he has hanging on his arm. Stop the insanity.

Im tired of watching people dictate to this man what he should or should not be saying. He a human being and the vast majority of everyone were saying the same thing about Kanye. So please save it. Hell, Obama probably doesn’t even sleep at night with all he has on his shoulders and all the work he does…let the man phuckin breath already!! Everytime the man blinks it is considered “news”.

Also, dont no one in here know what Obama called Wilson behind closed doors..the reason why we know he called Kanye a jackass is because it is on audio and was released from an off the record comment. Im sure Obama had a few choice words about that Congressman behind closed doors. Obama did exactly what he needed to do about Wilson and take the higher road…therefor, Wilson looks like the jackass he is and Obama looks like he’s above it all. Some of you need to understand the position this President is in and quit acting like he got elected to “fight the white folks”. He is the President of everyone..not just black people.

I know Kanye was wrong, but Obama is a president and he didn’t had that to say! I agree with someone comment earlier! He didn’t say that when Congresmen Joe attack him! Eventhough Kanye was wrong, Obama shouldn’t have thrown stones when stones are thrown at him by the same side who he’s trying to protect. He should have said nothing. It amazes me how white people do bad things (hush-hush) and when we do bad thing even the president and Oprah gets involved to hate on us instead of being neutral. White people have been doing bad things to us and others all of their lives and they have never been crucified like Kanye,Chris,Serena, and others. I know we f**ck up sometimes,but so do they! They can call us niggers and we agree with them! Kanye shouldn’t take up for Beyonce anyway! He just f**ck up his career to protect RocNAtion little angel!!!! Then she turn around and support Taylor. I did feel sorry for her,but Kanye should have learned an important lesson. Keep your mouth close and stop defending Beyonce unless she asks you to!!!!

But I guess you have to bow down to all mighty whity to. Don’t show weakness. Can you truly run this country. He was wrong but its alot going on Mr PRESIDENT.
- - - -
in regards to what you wrote, what Obama said was “off the record” which means it was most likely said during casual talk. Obama is a normal person too, he has normal conversations just like you and me. Being president is just his job. In the middle of the interview there was probably side conversation and the VMAs were brought up and im sure he just made a comment. Obama was probably like “man, kanye was a jackass for that” or “that was a jackass move”. Its not like Obama got up on a podium at a press conference and made the statement “Kanye is a Jackass” like it was some big important thing to address more important than the world issues
Just making a simple statement off the record in an everyday conversation doesnt make Obama more or less of a good president doing his duties. What was said was really was suppose to be between Obama and the person he was talking to, but that person was dumb and twittered it. It doesnt concern us. Barack could be sitting with Michelle right now and say “man my ass hurts”, but that doesnt mean he’s focusing more on his ass than he is the country.

@Missy
First off people throw around the term hater anytime someone expresses a criticism of something which is ridiculous. And I have been a severe critic of Obama since his campaign days. I wouldn’t say I hate him, but I certainly have no respect for him. Whether people want to admit it or not, Obama is quick to castigate black folks. Does he do this with whites, hispanics, asians? Any other group? I haven’t seen it. This pathetic mofo needs to exercise the SAME restraint with black folks that he does with everyone else. I aint got no free pass for Obama.
And if you can see how Kanye, Serena and Joe was out of line, you should be able to see where Obama was out of line as well. Did he exercise good judgment as far as “time and place” with his comments? Hell no! He is the president. This is not something that should have been spoken about with reporters period and he wouldn’t have had to worry about whether it was on or off the record. He should have said no comment and left it at that.

THAT’S GOOD FOR ALL THE DUMB BLACK FOLKS THAT VOTED FOR OBAMA…HE IS A “TURN COAT” P.E.R.I.O.D
He did not think Kanye was a Jackass when Kanye was supporting his presidential bid and giving free concerts. Yes…I am very disappointed in Kanye…I believe he can do better than that stabk behind “Coco” #2, Ice T suck too…but he needs help and has not dealt with his mothers death.
So instead of Obama big coconut head a$$ putting Kanye down, want not help him. Black folks will always continue to bring each other down..that ’s why we will never move forward as people.
