As you may have heard, yesterday US President Barack Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" after the rapper's outburst at the VMAs. IN the wake of the VMA Incident ABC reporter Terry Moran tweeted about the Obama jackass remark, but quickly removed the post from his Twitter account.
Considering all the opposition that President Obama is dealing with from people who think he is a socialist Islamo-fascist born in Kenya, should anyone really be worried about what he thinks about Kanye West and the whole VMA Incident? If anything, the White House should wear the Barack Obama-Kanye West jackass comment as a badge of honor.
After all, who doesn't think that Kanye West is a jackass? The Obama Kanye West remark may be the least controversial thing he has done during his time in the White House.
Obama faces all kind of opposition whenever he does anything. Have a beer with Henry Louis Gates and the cop that arrested him? People are upset. Talk to a group of school kids? People are upset. Call Kanye West a jackass when he clearly is a jackass? Not a peep.
Our culture can't seem to agree on anything other than the country is increasingly filled with jackasses. The Obama administration should seize the opportunity and encourage the president to call people asshats. Honestly, what would happen if Obama went on national TV and called Heidi and Spencer Pratt "jackasses?" He'd be hailed as a national hero.
If Obama was smart, he would have a weekly address where he calls people out for being jackasses, sort of like FDR's fireside chats except with a liberal helping of the word "douchebag."
As a way to further help the Obama administration, here is an abbreviated list of people who Obama should call "jackasses":
-Jon and Kate Gosselin
-Lady Gaga and her alleged penis
-Guys who keep talking about how much they love "Entourage"
-Guys who wear Ed Hardy shirts
-White guys who call each other "bro"
-The guy who lives down the hall from me. You don't know him, but trust me he's a jackass.

I'm sorry but this was absolutely hilarious, and right on the mark as far as current public opinion goes. Well done.

I agree with everything but there should be a poll on who's most deserving to be called jackass next. Just to make it more democratic and reduce the socialist fascist aspect to name calling.
