Now THAT'S presidential.

"Now THAT'S presidential."

Uploaded on Sep 14, 2009 by Buzznet's Official MiseryXchord™ | Views: 268

The Huffington Post reports (link), During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards."

"Obama's colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran."

An ABC spokesperson explained, (link) "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. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."

"a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed." Sounds like determining what was off the record was done afterwards in the editing process. This is where live news reporting butts up against something that is edited for content and approved before being seen by the public.
	Bye Bye Blackbird: 09/14/2009 11:45 PM Obama probably shouldn't comment on this type of thing unless he's in private. Remember when he insulted the police? Sure Kanye deserves it cause he is an ass but the president shouldn't be caught saying those things. I'm ashamed of the journalist involved. How do you make that mistake? As a journalist myself, I know if something is off the record it should STAY OFF THE RECORD. >.

I actually respect him for expressing a negative opinion about it...plus, makes him seem more human and aware of what's going on outside of the reserved air of the Oval Office.... as opposed to some Presidents we've had who didn't even know how a supermarket scanner worked, much less what millions of people in their country were shouting about on the Internet. emoisforluvers said: I'm ashamed of the journalist involved.

Also, odds are he was asked about it, possibly as a "Hey, President Obama, you're down with the youth, what about that Kanye West thing?" sort of deal. Plus, Kanye was such a HUGE Obama supporter it was kind of bound to come up at some point.
	heartsapocolypse: 09/15/2009 5:56 AM So much for all that talk about the liberal left-wing media... Terry Moran is a jackass... He used to be a good reporter when he was on Court TV years ago.
