Kanye West

I find it rather scary to hear that President Obama is so in tune with the world of music and media. While watching the VMA's, Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to complain about how the award should have gone to someone else. He didn't mean to be insulting, but he knew right away he hurt Taylor's feeling when he saw the look on her face. Mr. President commented on the situation saying Kanye was a, "Jackass." I'm not sure that a political figure should be paying any attention to such irrelevant topics. They should be focused on their jobs. Maybe I'm being too critical towards my expectations of how a president should act, but I may be wrong.
