I managed to be ignorant of this whole debacle until today. I think the Obama quote is priceless! I care so little about the artists or whatever awards show it was on (MTV?) that I'm getting lightheaded though.

Obama's spot on and I love the complete contempt in his voice when he says, "He's a jackass." A truly beautiful moment! ;D

What exactly don't you like, Ube? That off the record stuff got tweeted?

That this is a story. Pepole in Obama's staff has to smooth this over, obviously. It's an off the record comment, it's got nothing to do with anything, really. I wish it would be treated accordingly.
(And I'm not complaining about you guys, this is apparently going on in the "press" in America.)

@ Hildor: Now THOSE were really good!  :DI agree with you about the best one.  @ Ube: It doesn't matter whether it's "on the record" or not, the fact of the matter was very simple: he was asked a question, and he answered the question honestly and tactfully, then summed it up with the ultimate conclusion. (I guess it might depend on how you look at it, but still, what I've just written makes a lot of sense) And yes EK, KANYE WEST IS A JACKASS! |

Ube - I think to most people this reflects really well on Obama, as he's summed up what everyone thinks and in a quite amusing fashion. Sure, his private words should have been kept private, but it's rebounded to his benefit.

Elliot, I think you underestimate (or rather, overestimate) the far right of America there.

Ube, US politics is so tribal right now that if either a Democrat or a Republican genuinely brought about world peace, the other side would just accuse them of selling out, becoming a Communist or whatever else crossed their minds. They are all beyond hopeless.
Amongst reasonable, fair-minded Americans (Which I still believe to be in the majority) I doubt Obama's reaction will be greeted with other than approval.

On the bright side, though, I bet we get a lot more really good 'Kanye Interrupts' cartoons out of this... ;D
'Kanye? He's a Jackass!' t-shirts... The possibilities are endless! ;D

Beyonce speaks. I don't think she and I would agree on what constitutes art...

Obviously not. Just look at your overly large banner.

It's huge!! I don't like checking CC in public because people think I'm looking up hot pictures of Taylor Swift, or worse, that I'm a fan!  |

So you'd prefer Miley then, Flix? So noted... ;D

Any day of the week. At least she has a personality.
Can anyone add a banner like that? If so, how?

I'd have to actually MAKE a Miley banner, which I never have... She DOES have personality though, I'll grant you! but then, so does Taylor...
And yes, anyone can add a banner. Just go into your profile, click 'Modify Profile' and under the Avatar settings is a box marked 'Signature' Put [img] Url of image [/img] in the Signature box and you're there!
