    President Obama

It has been posted by TMZ. Here's the transcript:

Q: Were your girls as hacked off as mine were that Kanye gave Taylor Swift the Joe Wilson treatment?

Obama: I thought that was really inappropriate. You know it was like she's getting an award -- why are you butting in? I, I hear you -- I agree with you.

Q: So does that count as the first question?

Obama: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass. (Laughter) No, now -- this -- all this stuff -- I'm assuming all this stuff. Where's the pool? Come on guys. Cut the president some slack. I got a lot of other stuff on my plate. Yeah. ‘Cause I remember last time it was the fly thing. Now that was the highlight of (trails off)

Q: No that worked out well for you. You were a ninja.

Obama: Except PETA... (laughter)

    He is right he does have much more important things to worry about.

    That's funny. Hopefully everyone doesn't make a big deal out of it. He expressed his opinion, now it's time to move on.

    Yeah, inspector, I agree. I loved the fact that Obama said what he did. I think it humanizes him, but the media will get as much mileage out of it as they can. Hopefully, it will be positive.

    Kenya was so out of line and evidently had been drinking. But I do think he feels genuinely sorry for what he did. I saw him on Jay Leno the next night. He looked tired and become very emotional when Jay asked him what his mother would have thought. Kenya was very close to his mother, who passed away about a year ago. He said he was going to take some time off for reflection and that's probably a good idea.

    Beyonce was the one who got my vote for most "class" of the night, when she gave Taylor some of her own award time to properly thank the audience.

    President Obama is RIGHT!! Kanye west is an idiot. I'm using a nicer term. Kayne West is out of control. He is known for "foot-in-mouth" disease.

    Yeah he does, but at the same time it sounded like a really honest statement out of him, not a slick one; maybe he should try that more often; after all the straight shooter thing worked for Bush twice.

    Are you referring to the president or Kanye? :) Yes, it was nice to hear Obama talk honestly off the cuff, especially when the question was casually framed in reference as one father to another of impressionable young kids. Kanye's actions were rude and thoughtless, to put it generously.
