Even President Barack Obama has an opinion on Krazy Kanye’s stage-storming at Sunday night’s VMAs, according to Politico.com.

On Monday night, ABC’s Terry Moran Tweeted: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”

Moran deleted the post soon after, but not before catching the attention of his more than 1 million followers.

“In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview,” according to a statement issued by ABC News shortly after Moran’s Tweets emerged. “This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.”

(Which means, no one is disputing Obama made the comment, just that it wasn’t meant for publication.)
