Barack Obama, learning nothing whatsoever from opining on Gates’ arrest, reacted to Kanye West’s meltdown on MTV, calling him a “jackass.” Either that, or the President said his favorite show on the network was “Jackass.” Truthfully, we just skimmed the story. In case the Commander-in-Chief didn’t get briefed on this, it’s unwise to wage a war of words with an emcee; it’s best not to put in your two cents on 50 Cent. Mr. President, just think of Kanye as Afghanistan — you don’t want to get any more involved than you already are. Unless Joe Biden know how to beatbox, Obama is in trouble because the rapper has retaliated and once he incorporates auto-tune, this battle will be officially over.
Yo, Obama
Word to your white momma
I came to bring the drama
How come you ain’t found Osama?
Obama can handle Cornell West, but Kanye is another story.
Before you open your mouth to swear
How about getting us some health care?
What I did is over and done
So go diss Joe Wilson.
I’ve learned my lesson
You focus on ending the recession.
You’re half-black
And half-whack
Now get our troops out of Iraq.
Why you being so slow
Taking forever to close Gitmo?
How you gonna critique my style
When you ain’t putting those who tortured on trial?
Maybe I’m a doubting Thomas
But I don’t see all the jobs you promised.
It’s clear to me
You haven’t stimulated the economy
Unless you count GM and AIG.
I’m starting to think you’re scheming
Since the only brothers you’re down with are Lehman.
You say I’m a jackass
Not so fast
Ain’t a donkey the symbol of the Democrats?
