    Lol@187…I hate to even respond to someone calling himself mafia_boi, but i just feel compelled..The point of my post was to say 1)Obama needs to be smarter when making stupid comments in front of a hot mic, because people are not going to give him the “off the record” respect like they would other persons in his position and 2)A man in his position shouldn’t care so much about what’s going on at the VMA’s to diss Kanye like that because he might need him again to fool people like you into voting for him again in 2012!!

    Obama was right, regardless if he’s Commander in Chief and the VMA’s don’t matter to the president. Anyone who disagrees is just as much a jackass as kanye. Yeah, he’s not getting any “off the record” love, but if we’re gonna get past the whole “black president” thing, let him be scrutinized and heraled just as any other president. Mistakes are mistakes, and victories the same. We can’t just say “hey, don’t do that just cause…” because then we’ll be in the same category as limbaugh, who says that white kids are getting beat up “just cause” we’re in an “obama america”. I DO agree that the “president” doesn’t have much say in the VMA’s, but as times progress, we gotta remember that some things will become more relevant. 2 presidents from now, we may very well vote for someone who’s been keeping up with real chance of love…but i hope not. lol

    That’s my Obama calling it like he sees it. That’s what happens when you put black people in the white house they don’t give a crap about all that fancy talk, somebody acts like an ass they say he’s acting like an ass.

    I love my President!

    When Kanye came down the red carpet with a half full liter of Hennessey that should have cued folks that things might get out of pocket. We all know that folks say what’s on their minds while under the influence, especially if their brain has a “Oh hell no moment”.

    I had never heard of Swift or heard that song she got an award for. But just to name a few,on YouTube, church sistahs, babies, fat white men, sports mascots, kids in the Phillipines, 100 women in Picadilly Square,a Jonas Brother and a sistah bangin her noggin on a TV sets to the Single Ladies jam/choreography showed how popular the video was. If you include all the satires there are millions of hits to the Single Ladies jam. It was internationally popular.

    So I concure West’s brain even if it was under the influence. I know the first line of Single Ladies, I’d have to google Swifts to remember her first name and her award winning tune and forget about dancing to it.

    Obama gets no points on his comment b/c when that stuff went down w/Gates and the cop, he commented on the cops behavior. There was no name calling.
    Why Kanye got to be a farm animal? Why demote him to anything less than human? Big thumbs down for Obama’s comment on Kanye as a person.

    If anybody’s a jacka**, it’s Obama and his administration. If you’re a registered Democrat, you’re a Jacka** b/c that the party’s symbol. So Kanye’s in good company with all us folks that registered and voted Democrat. So party on Kanye, thanks for speaking the truth…next time leave the Yack at home.

    lmao…thats funny…kanye is a JACKASS

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet-n-evil-89/ sweet-n-evil-89

    He is a jackass… And frankly I don’t think the President was wrong for calling him one. Since when does Kanye get to pick who should win what? And whether or not more people have heard of Beyonce than Taylor Swift does not mean he was right to get up there and ruin her special moment. It does not justify his act and I just don’t understand the people who are backing him up on it. I mean how would you feel if it was your first time winning an award and somebody did that to you? I know Kanye wouldn’t like it if somebody did that same mess to him!

    But I don’t think the President is wrong for expressing himself. Hell he was saying what the majority of us were thinking!

    That is too funny! Did you see Prez. Obama’s face after he said that? He was like o crap, make sure that sh!t is cut out. Too funny. Tell us how you really feel Mr. President! lol

    Carter said it best when stating that Kanye’s behavior was inappropriate.
    Obama made it personal when he said, “THE MAN IS A JACKASS. Some folks have said, “OBAMA IS A MONKEY”. He of ALL people should be culturally sensitive to using terms that associates African Americans with animals.

    So sorry SWEET_N_EVIL if you don’t understand the significence of that.
    It’s the same reason Disney’s first black princess is a Frog princess and the animated film about African pride is an animal film.

    If Bush had said it would you all still be laughing your a**es off? I’m curious…were there any black reporters in the room? I’m not laughing.
    Kanye apologized, now Barack needs to man-up and do the same.

    Yea I think the President shoulda just had a no comment on this one. He should be wise enough by now to not give his opinion this hot topic outside of politics. he loses points in my book as well. It’s funny I wonder if this would get so much attention if it was a black artist Kanye interrupted. it’s seams a little like the poor innocent pure white virgin getting ravaged by the big scary black man thing going on. Alot of people forget that the award shows used to s**t on black people all the time and just more recent they started adding more catagories. I guess Kanye forgot his place for a quick sec, MTV video awards is still owned by white people.

    yeah that was suppose to be off the air is what i read about it. Thats almost like the president can’t just chat about things that go on in the world. He is a normal person just like the rest of us.

    Obama should’nt have gone there infront of everyone…he should’ve said that behind closed doors… only to wifey or close friends lol… considering that kanye was repping for him all the time till the day he got sworn in to office.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CuTie_Pie_PiTa/ CuTie_Pie_PiTa

    Everybody need to get over it…Kanye West can be a jack ass!.lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bRaNdoN981/ bRaNdoN981

    yea lol i just think its funny how when kanye’s mom died and he won an award shortly after, they tried to cut his speech off with music and he got pissed. but then i guess its okay for him to do the same thing to taylor swift??? lol idk. im not really fan of her music but i think he shoulda let the little white girl have her moment lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bRaNdoN981/ bRaNdoN981

    oh yea and i think he kinda looked dumb after the fact kuz beyonce won the award for video of the year later that evening! so yea…

    ***********************NOT A GOOD LOOK**********************
    Beyonce and President Obama OUT-OF-POCKET! It’s just a 19 yr. old white girl! Who President Obama should be callin a jack azz is congressman Wilson, who called him a LIE! Man da fcuk President Obama…Beyonce, should have addressed congressman Wilson on MTV awards, she didn’t because she was scared 4 her career…wowerz! I am not saying Kanye was right, in fact he was out-of-line for it, but does it need this much attention? White folks have been doing this shyt for years.
