Two years ago, Barack Obama made headlines after calling Kanye West a jackass. The President unleashed the expletive while commenting on the rapper’s interruption of Taylor Swift’s speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and it seems that his opinion hasn’t changed. In the May issue of The Atlantic, a reporter describes getting the opportunity to ask Obama which Watch the Throne rapper he prefers: Jay-Z or Kanye? The President confidently chose Jay-Z, but explained that he also appreciates Kanye. However, when the subject of Obama’s 2009 comment came up, the Commander in Chief didn’t back down, stating, “He is a jackass. But he’s talented.”
