Kanye has no choice - as a real man he is honor bound to defend himself and his beloved.
It' Obama who made the mistake of taking Ye for granted (maybe because Ye had in the past fiercely attacked the previous prez... and not during later when Bush became unpopular but earlier, when he was riding the post 911 wave of popularity and any celeb who was brave enough to go against him ran the risk of ruining their showbiz career (e.g. Dixie chicks, Bill Maher...). Kanye was one of those. That bravery of Ye may have given Obama & others the wrong impression that Ye was some party political loyalist who wouldn't drag a Democratic prez)
Kanye IS a jackass for what he did to Taylor.
And the only time I can remember Obama mentioning the Kardashians is during his yearly "roasts".
Kanye needs to calm the **** down.
