It would appear that he certainly did, when asked about Sunday night’s <A href="http://mashable.com/2009/09/13/kanye-west-taylor-swift-vmas/">incident at MTV’s Video Music Awards</A> in an off-the-record interview.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/obama-kanye-west/"><P>The interview was apparently conducted by CNBC, but the revealing tweet came from ABC’s Terry Moran, and read “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
