Just a brief thought before delving into novel-writing.
President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" after the singer interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the the MTV Video Music Awards.
The comment was made in a conversation with a reporter from CNBC. It was overheard by a reporter from ABC. The conversation was apparently off the record. It made out into the world.
Why the fuss? The most powerful man in the world offered an opinion (I think, the correct one) on the antics of a spoiled, arrogant, tactless musician. Much like millions of others around the world, he spoke up. The only reason it's a big deal is because he's the President of the United States.
Let's move on, but not before offering kudos to President Obama for speaking his mind, and to the ABC employee who tweeted the quote. Welcome to the world of new media folks.
