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.

Kanye West publicly apologized for his behavior at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards during an interview with Jay Leno on Monday night’s premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show on NBC.

While he was originally set to serve as just a musical guest – performing with Jay-Z and Rihanna — Kanye spoke to Jay for several minutes before taking the stage to talk about storming the VMA stage and upstaging Best Female Music Video winner Taylor Swift during the 19-year-old’s acceptance speech.

“It’s been extremely difficult, just dealing with the fact that I hurt [someone] or took anything away… from a talented artist, or from anyone because I only wanted to help people,” Kanye told Jay. “My entire life I’ve only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right and I immediately knew in this situation that it was wrong and it wasn’t a spectacle, it’s actually someone’s emotions… that I stepped on… It was rude, period. I’d like to be able to apologize to her in person.”

When asked by Jay when he realized he was wrong, Kanye replied: “Like as soon as I gave the mic back to her and she didn’t keep going.”

Jay then went on to bring up Kanye’s late mother, Dr. Donda West, during the interview, mentioning that he met her and asking the rapper what his mother would have said about her son’s behavior.
Kanye struggled to find the words to answer the question and appeared to choke up.

Kanye West has offered an apology for his behavior at Sunday night’s 2009 Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift picked up her first Moonman for Best Female Video for “You Belong To Me” at Sunday night’s ceremony but didn’t have the chance to finish her acceptance speech, thanks to the Grammy-winning egomaniac, who took the stage to interrupt her and praise pal Beyonce, who was nominated for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”
