'Toddlers & Tiaras': Six-Year-Old Traven Tells The Adults…
PHOTOS: J. Crew Shoots Its Preppy Americana In Bali
"When Obama called me 'jackass' after the Taylor incident, I thought that the person who taped that wasn't supposed to tape it. Obama has way more important stuff to worry about than my public perception. And if he said that to relate to the room or lighten the room up and the whole mood, then I'd be more than happy to be the butt of all of his jokes if it in the some way helps his overall mission."

I am no fan of Kanye, but Obama will say something negative about Kanye, when He Told The Truth about Taylor. But Obama sent not a one condolence for Michael Jackson. Atleast Kanye was man enough to speak the truth.

I think I did hear him give a weak, lame-ass response to MJ's death. He ain't feeling us. He makes me sick with his comments about hip-hop and other black american cultural expression. He is a fool who is so elite and such an uncle tom, that he can't be seen as embracing our culture too much. other world leaders, on his same level, are not afraid to publically acknowledge the greatness of certain AA cultural offerings.

Kanye gets a pass on that Taylor thing cus his moms not to long ago passed away. But he was a jackass for doing it and that loser gold digger Amber Rose should have had his back and stop him from making a fool of him self.

I think obama was way out of line calling kanye a jackass. I bet you will never hear him call any of his white enemies, jackass. another example of his lack of loyalty to black people. even if kanye was acting like a jackass, you don't call a brother out in public, white america, like that.

Exactly my point! Just the other day one of them Racist Governor told Obama to go to hell. They have told him, and said worse things than that and he's never utter a word or a response.

First of all, rasfanta, Kanye IS a JACKASS!! Yeah I said it JACKASS! Obama is a horrible president, but he, like the rest of us, has a right to express his opinion. The first amendment will back that up. And second, PeteRocks, really? He gets a pass because his mom died? If Kanye would have just randomly went out and killed somebody, would he have gotten a pass as well? Because his mom died? And finally, Debra, Kanye told the "truth" about Taylor? Honey, she has more talent in her little finger than you have in your whole body.
