Obama and Jackass Comment

[Tolwyn]

For the first time in his administration, my respect level might have went up a bit...
Why is it news to blast him for a completely accurate comment on that idiot?

Why should he be "above" this?

[callmeslick]

some folks will criticize Obama for anything. The commentary among my coworkers was
overwhelming: calling Kanye a Jackass was not only correct, but showed a person unafraid
to pull punches when justified.

I love how you comment on Obama and you "hero-ize" the comment. First thing is, Obama shouldn't have bothered to comment. That kind of stuff is below the President. That being said, he told the truth that Kanye was a jerk.

I completely disagree with your statement that this type of comment is "below" anyone.

This is one of the fundamental problems of this great nation.

If you act like an ass... be called an ass. Accept that you ARE an ass, and move on.

This Politically-correct-pussy-foot-around-the-real-issues is ruining this country.

The presidents first and foremost job, in my opinion, is to be a voice for ME. And in this ONE moment of lowering his guard, he finally found a testical.

This is NOT a democracy, this is a REPUBLIC. Elected by the people, FOR the people, and his voice, for ONCE (and likely only one time) was for (at least) this person.

I read "jackass" but what I'm hearing is "jackass boy"

He made a comment assuming the camera wasn't rolling/broadcasting, it's not as if he said something like "bomb the bastards"

And an easy google will find a plethora of off camera Bushisms too.

Oh and back to Kanye, I'd have called him a cunt
