In addition to his embattled healthcare policy losing steam, President Obama is now the butt of criticism by rapper Kanye West. This comes as as CBS and ABC polls report the president’s disapproval rating at an all-time high of 63 percent, his approval at an all-time low of 37 percent.
West and Obama have had bad blood since the president called West a “jackass” in 2009 for interrupting Taylor Swift on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. West told HOT 107.9 radio in Philadelphia on Monday, “Oh, you talking about how he use to come and visit me and my mama and tell me that he’s about to run for president? … I just think that we’re pop icons, and the president likes to use that type of thing just to be down and stuff. ‘Man, this is the person we love to hate, so if you want to distract people from everything that’s going on … just say you hate Kanye and there’s going be 30 other people who say they hate Kanye … That was kind of my position in culture so he also used that too, ‘Oh, he’s a jackass,’ because that’s how the world felt.”
