Hey Kanye, even the President thinks you're a jackass.

ABC's Terry Moran is probably finding his White House correspondent job a little more difficult today. While press was observing an interview with President Obama, the POTUS gave his opinion regarding Kanye West's interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. According to a tweet Moran posted on Twitter.com, "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
What Moran forgot to pay attention to was that portion of the conversation was supposed to remain off the record. Oops! Apologies were forthcoming from ABC to both the White House and CNBC (who was conducting the interview) and they are "taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."
Well that's good -- but now somebody needs to make sure no off the record audio doesn't get leaked from the White House, either. That's right, the actual audio of President Obama's "jackass" comment has surfaced. Listen for yourself:
