A reporter from The Atlantic recently asked Pres. Obama who he preferred between Jay-Z and Kanye and without hesitation, he answered ?Jay-Z,? as if it should have been?obvious. And it probably should have been a given seeing as Beyonce worked with Michelle? on a campaign to end childhood obesity and Jay was present at Obama?s inauguration.

President Obama?also stated that he likes Kanye and thinks he?s very talented, but?after the?2009 MTV Video Music Awards incident where Kanye interrupted?Taylor Swift, he still thinks that he?s a jerk.

Obama: ?Although, I like Kanye ? He?s a Chicago guy. Smart. He?s very talented.?

Reporter: ?Even though you called him a jackass??

Obama: ?He?is?a jackass. But he?s talented.?

Ouch.

If you missed it,?watch video?of the Prez, the first time he called Kanye a Jackass
