During an interview, a reporter asked President Obama what he thought of Kanye West’s antics on the MTV VMAs.

Since it was the only thing everyone was talking about at the time, ofcourse he had something to say about it.

He called Kanye West a “Jackass” but he was under the impression that the whole pre-interview chatter was off the record. The tweeting staff of the network didn’t think so and took advantage of the moment to tweet to their friends what was happening during the interview. Now the news is out and Obama is being criticized for getting involved in this mess.

Here is a clip of Obama calling Kanye Out.
