There was a Twitter faux pas yesterday when ABC News’ Terry Moran sent out a Tweet quoting President Obama before it had been edited and approved for publication.

What was the Tweet about? National Security? Healthcare? The state of the economy? Heck no. It was about Kanye West stealing the show from Taylor Swift at the VMAs.

Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential

EDIT: Now with audio of Obama calling Kanye a jackass!

First, I appreciate that pearl of wisdom from President Obama. Kanye is a douche and Katy Perry said it best…it’s like he stepped on a kitten. Pink wasn’t far off when she said she Twittered that Kanye is the biggest piece of shit on earth, either.

Second, that’s the kind of quotes that Twitter should be used for! Real, honest, off the cuff comments that represent what someone is really thinking and feeling. I know I’ve sent out my fair share of “inappropriate” comments which are actually insanely appropriate because they aren’t bull.

I think I just tooted my own horn. Toot toot.
