Critics of President Obama decry his miscalculation on trusting the media to keep a traditionally off-the-record chat time actually off-the-record. While preparing to tape an interview, Obama made conversation with the reporter and, accurately, it can be said, called Kanye West a “jackass” for his rude behavior at the MTV Music Awards.
The question is: If Obama miscalculates on a comment like this, and cannot control his mouth, what happens when he comments on something serious, like his opinion of friendly foreign leader or some other notable? Remember his comments about the Yale professor and the police officer? That caused at best a major distraction for him, at worst, it showed that he does not always think well on his feet. A criticism he faced in the presidential campaign was that he was an excellent speaker with a prepared speech, but not as good at off-the-cuff remarks.
