Barack Obama Openly Criticized Kim Kardashian And Kanye West: Kris Jenner Reaction [PHOTOS/ VIDEO]
It's really difficult to think that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are topics that President Obama has to even think about in moving discussions.
Obama has made a few unfavorable and judgemental comments about Kim Kardashian & Kanye West lately, and it didn't sit well with the Kardashian kingdom momager Kris Jenner.On Friday's episode of her reality TV talk show "Kris," Jenner responded to Obama's critique of the lavish lives of West and Kardashian and the effect they have on today's youth.
"It's really great that people aspire to get a great job ... but I wasn't aware that you could only set the bar so high and that we could only dream so big," Jenner said after she read Obama's remarks aloud on her show. "I was taught: Dream big, work hard and you could have whatever you wanted."
Jenner then went on to point that Obama was a bit of a hypocrite for observing that Kim and Kanye reside in a 10,000 sq. ft. home:
“I bet the President has some friends with 10,000 square foot houses and that he wouldn’t mind going over there… when [he was] asking them to have a party for [him] while [he was] campaigning for dollars to run for president.”
"I find it so odd that he's picking on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Well, Kanye West, first of all, doesn't go on vacation. Ever," Jenner said. "And Kim Kardashian is the hardest-working young lady in the world. She never sleeps, she never stops, she never slows down and works so hard for what she's got."
Jenner also said that her daughter's job affords her to live in that sort of abode, and that's when she realized, "if she's not mistaken," the president's job affords him to live in a 55,000 sq. ft. house.
Barack Obama has criticised Kim Kardashian and her family's reality TV shows for being bad influences on young people
Kim Kardashian and her family have built up a reality TV kingdom over the last few years with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and their three spin-off series. She also televised her much-hyped 2011 wedding to basketball player Kris Humphries as a small-screen special. As for West, it is not the first time Obama has clashed with the rapper. In 2009, the President famously branded him a "jacka--" for storming the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards to protest Taylor Swift's Best Female Artist win
The Kardashian family recently signed the largest reality TV deal ever with the E! network. They will remain on the channel until 2015 in a deal worth over $40 million
Of course Barack Obama is not the first to criticize the couple, and he definitely won't be the last. Kris Jenner is always ready to defend the Kardashian family, being the designated "mother goose," and all.
