Obama's blurb...

There seems to be a lot of buzz going around in both print and TV about the comment President Obama made about the musician Kanye West. I really don't have an opinion about the specific incident, but it does raise some interesting implications about an "off the record" conversation with Obama and an anchor. I really don't think the President has a leg to stand on in being angry due to the fact that it was the crew on the set that "tweeted" the comments. Not the journalist drawing from an off the record conversation. I do think that people working for journalist should be a little more discreet about what they hear and see around interviews, even if they are not conducting the interview. You would think that media outlets would require some form of non-disclosure to prevent these kinds of mishaps. The President should have been a little more cautious with his words, but these outlets should simultaneously be a little more cautious with the moral compass possessed by there employees.
