President Obama on Kanye West: Still a Jackass!

by at .

It doesn't appear that President Obama's opinion of Kanye West has changed.

After Obama let it slip before an interview (below) with ABC's Nightline two years ago that he thought the rapper was a "jackass" for interrupting Taylor Swift's speech at the MTV VMAs, he offered up a further assessment of him this week.

The verdict? Unchanged.

    @Tequila I've followed your comments and those whom you call out to with support and praise. What a network of goons you all are. Born Yesterday? has every right to make that comment about somebody coming up behind them pretending to be them. There are ppl doing that here on this site. I think you know them, too. Not paranoia...just calling a spade a spade!
