You see, this shows you just how much more intelligent and detail-oriented this President is than I am. I merely called Kanye West an ass for what he did.
In all seriousness, what President Obama said was 100% true, and because it was an off-the-record comment that was inappropriately leaked, he has no obligation to explain himself or apologize. In fact, the only reason I think this story merits a comment is that I believe someone needs to be fired because of the leak. ABC News Reporter Terry Moran was interviewing the President when West's actions were brought up. Moran knew Obama's comments were off the record, but he still tweeted the information for millions to see. He needs to be fired, or whoever actually tweeted the message. If it was in fact Moran himself, he should be held especially accountable because, as the interviewer, he knew the exchange was off the record.
This is one of those situations where he was not talking as the President, he was talking as a human. He is allowed to have opinions, thoughts, words - as long as he is not addressing the public as the President. Somebody needs to take a fall for this leak, and it isn't the President.

Kanye West needs to grow up. I love his music, but I'm tired of this entitled attitude he has. I'm glad Jay Leno made him cry.
