Yes, President Obama calling Kanye West a “jackass” for his antics at the VMA is to his credit. We should be glad that we have a president who’s not afraid to calls’em like he sees’em when it comes to pop culture.
But then again he gets points deducted for apparently not realizing what was immediately obvious to me: the incident in question, when Kanye West grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech, was staged.
You’d think that if you spent all your time surrounded by the theatrics of DC politicians, you would know not to trust MTV.
