POTUS nailed it with his "jackass" comment.
Kim Kardashian slams Barack Obama over Kanye West comment
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has criticized President Barack Obama for insulting her husband, rapper Kanye West, saying the president should not comment on pop culture.
West was furious after Obama branded him a “jacka—” for interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and the hip-hop star was slighted again last year when the president accused the couple of encouraging youngsters to become obsessed with wealth and fame.
Kardashian has now urged Obama to keep his thoughts on popular culture to himself, telling Britain’s GQ magazine, “I don’t think it’s very appropriate for the president of the United States to be commenting on pop culture. … I mean, calling people ‘jacka—’? … I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion – even him. I was just like, ‘Why is he even commenting on this?’”
Obama made the “jacka—” remark to an aide as he prepared for an interview but it was unwittingly caught on camera and later released.

Fine with me as long as pop culture figures keep out of politics.

I don't know why Obama's so critical of Kanye, when Kanye's made supportive comments like this:
Let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money, and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can’t make these moves, or he’s not executing. That’s because he ain’t got those connections. Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don’t have the same connections as oil people. You know we don’t know nobody that got a nice house. You know we don’t know nobody with paper like that, that we can go to when we’re down.
