Obama Calls Kanye West a ‘Jackass’ for His Outburst at the VMAs
Holly Bailey, Newsweek, 15 September 2009
“In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview,” ABC said. “That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.”
This is unfortunate—and we’re not just talking about the fact that an off-the-record comment was leaked publicly. In a White House that is so very careful about staying on message….
As the WH is so very careful about staying on message this remark seems intentionally “leaked”. When the tide of racism rises against Obama he throws the mob red meat.
