What's wrong with wanting people to have a better country to live in? You can always leave if you don't like our leader of the free country. Your free to leave, and take every other Obama bashing person with you.

What a stupid comment by Megan Smith. Did you leave the country madam and take the Bush bashers with you when President Bush was in office? I guess not as you are still here.

The jackass Is the reporter for breaching the presidency of confidentiality. Something that was off the record. The public didn't need to know. It shows the reporters lack of ethics, morals, scruples and professionalism. Such action should not be tolerated. Either way whether we agree or not the President Should be respected.

No pep, you've made the stupid comment.

She never said anything about not supporting Bush. You made that assumption. Just because she supported Obama because he is the elected President (not necissarily for his policies) doesn't mean she DIDN'T support Bush. This wasn't a partisan argument but you've made it one. Moron.

Well let's just keep having this idiot KW on TV and keep supporting his behavior. I refuse to watch any program he is in--pitiful! Obama got this one right!

ur a bumb ass. mr west is a good person just speaking his mind....i would of done the same thing.

WE finally have a president who speakes in poly syllabic words he understands and isn't terriblly affraid of standing up for his beliefs...but the extreem right of which I embarassly must admit I once believed in are acting like white trash racists...which I now see they undoubtably are...where are more republicans like me that can stand up and make consise arguements with-out spewing hatred so we'd have had an arguement about people like Kanye...instead our once proud party is sinking too jumping at chances toyell and screem like drowning people clutching at straws

u need to calm down cuz its perfectly ok to not like the president. im 100% sure u were saying similar, if not harsher things about president Bush. I dont agree with his policies either and its because of the love i have of this country that i dont like them. im not moving anywhere. as far as what he said here, you knw i dont exactly see whats so wrong, that question wasnt about anything political so he has every right to express himself as a regular guy. still glad i voted mccain though hahaha

AMEN

You are right on. Once again, another example of people acting badly and thinking it is o.k. Obama just gave the same reaction anyone with a sense of right and wrong would do, he was right, Kanye acted like a Jackass. Kanye should be banned from the awards show in the future. What a disgrace. People want to make this a black and white issue, how about a right from wrong issue.

The issue has nothing to do with color, it's about what's right. It's ignorant people like you that keep stupid mess going on

Ey yo lemme clarify this to all ya. Kanye ruined that lil gal's biggest moment yes i admit it. But we tend to look it @ one side that is Kanye as a badass. He is truly a badass but what he does sometimes helps other people. For instance interrupting Taylor, to me it was a good move you knw he has put this Lil girl into the map. Right now she is even famous than ever. To tell ya the truth, I ddn't know her and most of the pips out there ddnt knw her until that moment came. Get me right im not sayin what Kanye did is right but im saying it is a strategy to Taylor. Right now if um to ask y'all, do you know how many people Googled Kanye to read blogs of what happened? So guess what all of those people who googled him to read about his story at the MTV met a new name 'Taylor' which they might have met before or never at all. Kanye is a Jackass of course but in Taylor's situation I totally suspend his Jackassness cos he had put the girl on the map she is famous than ever.

MTV fans plus her own fans pluis Kanye's fans together with beyonce's fans including blogers fans, news papers fans, radio stations televisions you nsme it. All of which are interested in the the issue of Kanye and Taylor. What would have been newsworthy about Taylor if she had just won her award, without having Kanye west interrupting her. A few would have read, talked and wrote about her not like now.

I sincerely apologize if I'm not making any sense but I do believe that what is a naked truth.

Are you really going to compare K West to a police officer doing his job? Obama dengrated every police officer in this country by autmatically assuming they were in the wrong without knowing the facts. There is no question of the facts here, Kanye was wrong. He lacks any class and has no respect for anyone except himself!

blackopsg3 ,Oh I see, backstage Or on the red carpet would have been a much better place for a Drunk " Black (man?) with a hair cut that makes him look like he's been playin in the LSD way TOO long,to run up and STEAL the mic.and the air time from a 17 yr old White girl.Looks like Racism is now on the other foot. Just proves what I always say If your ANY other skin color But White you can do or say whatever you like and NO PROBLEM!there will always be someone to make allowences for it. BUT if you are what most ethnic races see as White.you say ANYTHING about an incident like this and your a racist.

You are exactly right! At this point the President should invite Kenye and Taylor to the White House Garden to have a beer and smooth it all out.
