Psst, hey Tumblr, come hang with us on Vine! (Hint: search for Vimeo)
“Sure,” the president says.

“Although I like Kanye,” Obama continues, with an easy smile. “He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented.” He is displaying his larger awareness of the question, looking relaxed, cerebral but friendly, alive to the moment, waiting for me to get to the heart of the matter.

Kanye West took to Twitter yesterday to debunk a fake Twitter page devoted to his clothing line – but then must have sensed an opportunity to air his thoughts on a number of issues and to promote his design company, Donda. In his 86-tweet opus, he quoted Leonardo da Vinci and George Bernard Shaw.
