More than two years after President Obama skewered Kanye West for s...'s thunder, he's still calling the rapper a "jackass."

In the May issue of The Atlantic, the president says he prefers Jay-Z over Kanye:

“Although I like Kanye,” Obama continues, with an easy smile. “He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented.” He is displaying his larger awareness of the question, looking relaxed, cerebral but friendly, alive to the moment, waiting for me to get to the heart of the matter.

“Even though you called him a jackass?,” I ask.

“He is a jackass,” Obama says, in his likable and perfectly balanced modern-professorial voice. “But he’s talented.”

When Kanye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Obama called him a "jackass" in a CNBC interview.

"I thought that was really inappropriate. You know it was like she's getting an award -- why are you butting in?" he said. "The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass."

"Barack Obama doesn't like black arrogant people"-Kanye

Who does he think he is Brian Williams?

Why is Obama commenting on things like this?

Seriously Prez. Seriously?

Some folks who are "right" need to stop reminding lol besides Kanye gonna do what he want...

Now I bet someone - like somebody already joked - would quote Kanye saying "Obama doesn't like arrogant black folks".

I actually don't mind his arrogance that much anymore like I once did. Oh well.

his heads so far up his own ass he doesn't understand the point of what prez said. its not a good thing to be an arrogant douche bag regardless of skin color! this stupid fuckers gonna get my blood up......

I like Obama but Obama is slightly like Oprah as far as swaying with what the masses wants. He knows he will get bash by stating Kanye is ONLY talented instead he has to throw in a negative remark. He did the same bullshit with you know who....

It's part of the appeal factor I guess.

For reason it ain't letting me post it but here's the link.

He's seemed to calm in the past few months. Besides, his bitch makes your bitch look like Precious.

Yeah he hasn't done anything wild lately... him being with Kim Kardashian ain't really shit compared to how he's used to be in the past.

They havent denied it.

You would think by now they would have made statements suggesting "they are only friends" they probably are dating...BUT then again they could just be riding the media with this whole thing just for attention since they are the king and queen of that

Wel.... Kanye is a jackass I'm a fan but Kanye is a whiny bitch plain & simple

Hell sometimes he was ALMOST on Axl Rose territory. But he has been quiet lately... Guess Kim Kardashian is keeping her penis deep in his mouth for now.

I don't pay any attention to Kanye or his nursery rhymes. The only reason I consider him a douche is when he pulled that stunt at the MTV VMAs whatever year that was. I don't watch award shows, so I didn't actually see it but everybody was talking about it on the radio and on TV. I was like, is it really that serious? What a tool..
