If anything, this “slip” is going to help the President's image aside from a few areas of the public. No real harm done, and nothing that they have to apologize for. If he does, in fact, apologize for use of that language, then we've gotten way to politically-correct than needed.

Cleary:

Even after having been edited by a moderator, your comments are still offensive and less than informed.

I say that because you call the President a coward, without knowing what his private thoughts were about Prejean or Perez Hilton.

The only reason we know what Obama privately thinks about Kanye is because his off-the-record comments (that is private, not for publication) became public.

Obama is right in this case. Kanye West had no reason to go up on stage and deny Taylor Swift her moment in the sun. It was a classless act, and rightly should be criticized for it.

cleary, an odd name for a p… whose comments are not even close to world class.

Where was Obama when the Left was savaging Carrie Prejean? He has the same views as she did. Why was he not chivalrous to protect her? Can you say coward? Can you say putz? No? Well I will. He's a coward because he didn't want to face the mighty and powerful Perez Hilton. And he's a putz for letting Prejean take arrows that he could have deflected. He's shown that he knows and is willing to comment about things happening in the general culture. So no one can claim he didn't know what was going on. That excuse is gone thanks to the current story. Way to go, Mr. President. You have shown the world what a world-class putz looks like.

I actually hadn't heard about the Kanye controversy until now (I know, the president is cooler than me), but after looking it up I have to say he was right.

But he actually almost had a Biden moment when he said “Except PETA…” Was he about to poke fun at PETA?:)

Who is Kanye? I have been called a jackass on this site, so I must assume that that term is a complimentary one.

I'm guessing Obama's upset because Kenyans keep winning all the long distance events.

Joe – nit picky, I know, but he called Kanye a jackass, not the nation of Kenya (in the headline?).
