If you recall, back in 2009 after the Kanye West/Taylor Swift VMA incident, President Barack Obama called Kanye a jackass for the incident. Now, in 2012, the President still think he’s a jackass but he at least admits that Kanye is talented. When Obama was asked the question “Kanye or Jay-Z?”, this is what he had to say:

“Jay-Z. Although I like Kanye. He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented. He is a jackass. But he’s talented.”
