Yesterday, a major slip up by an ABC reporter let it be known that President Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” in an off-the-record conversation. If you had doubts as to whether or not it really happened, well, now there’s audio.
TMZ has once again managed to get the exclusive, posting the audio clip on their blog this afternoon. Although Obama clearly uses the term, the clip does put it into some context, as the conversation started with the reporter asking if the President’s daughters were as upset as his were over the Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident.
