One would think that the president of the United States of America has more important things to do these days than to comment on the drama that went down at this weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards! But when asked during a CNBC interview what he thought about Kanye West’s disruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, Obama couldn’t help himself.

He called hip hop’s biggest bad boy a "jackass!" The question of course was off the record but that didn’t stop the notorious celebrity gossip Web site TMZ from getting their hands on the audio tape and sharing it with the world! The president is heard saying "The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she’s getting her award, what’s he doing up there? He’s a jackass!"

This can’t be good news for Kanye who tried to apologize to Taylor on the premiere of The Jay Leno Show Monday night. When the president of the U.S. of A disses you, you know you’re in trouble! It sucks to be you Kanye!

Listen to the audio and let us know what you think, should Kanye seek refuge in an undisclosed location or should he keep apologizing until the situation has calmed down? Drop us a line!
