Should You Cut The President Some Slack?

THIS ISN'T NEW but it is a modern classic. In the wake of Kanye West hijacking Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV video music awards, President Obama called West a jackass.

The moment was videotaped as the president was being prepped for an interview. The president and the reporter were simply conversing as lights, cameras and mics were being set up.

The president asks for some slack after everyone laughs. Is it too late to ask that the statement be off the record at that point?

Is this news?
