When is "off the record" NOT off the record?

When ABC News overhears an OTR remark President Obama made during an interview Monday with rival CNBC and posts it to Twitter, that's when.

As reported on Top of the Ticket, in the wake of Kanye West's antics Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards, Obama weighed in on the controversy, calling the hip-hop star a "jackass."

Reporter Terry Moran leaked the comment on his Twitter stream. "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.

Moran later took down his tweet, and ABC has apologized to Obama.

But do you agree with what the POTUS said? Wanna hear it for yourself, courtesy of TMZ.com? Man, when the president calls you a name, you know you messed up.

When someone wins they should be applauded not scorned in front of millions of peers and fans, yes I agree with Obama..

I more than agree with President Obama. I had worse words for West! Miss Swift seems like such a sweet young lady. I hope she will consider the source and not even give it a second thought.GO OBAMA!!

That man is a total and utter jackass!

President Obama called Kanye West a 'jackass'? Do you agree?

Yes I agree.

I agree that Obama said it, and I agree that Kanye is a jackass.

I do however wish that Obama would not comment publicly about pop culture issues. I think he, and his office is above that.

Yes! finally I agree with something Obama said.....absolute Jackass, actually Jackass is an understatement. For Kayne being so genuinely angry with how racist the "white-man" is toward blacks I would call him an ignorant Jackass, because he himself is racism. He is the origin of racism. How blind.

I agree 150% although I may have used stronger lanquage than what President Obama did. How could anyone watch that and not agree? IMHO, President Obama insulted the animal by comparing West to it.

Yes he is a Jack *** for sure.

Jay Leno should know better than have West on his show.

The president is right on on this one

What a total loser Kanye West is. Dude has some major issues and needs to go back to the Mental Institution he came from.

obama is right kanye is and idiot he should kill himself
