When President Obama called Kanye West a “Jackass” he thought it was off the record. Only problem, the comments were recorded and RadarOnline.com has the audio.
The remarks, in reference to Kanye hijacking Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMA’s on Sunday night quickly hit the internet thanks to ABC’s Terry Moran and Twitter. Moran heard the remarks before an interview with CNBC.
