Kris Jenner responds to Obama's Kimye criticismIt's a known fact that President Obama is not the biggest fan of Kim Kardashian or her boyfriend/baby's father, Kanye West. But the president's latest critique has reached the ears of momager extraordinaire Kris Jenner, and this time she's biting back.
On her new daytime show, Jenner brought up Obama's remarks about her daughter during an interview for the Amazon Kindle store. He was discussing what he sees as a distorted understanding of what it means to be well-off and successful, and he thinks that reality TV stars like Kim K. have brought about that cultural shift. In his day, "there was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous," the president said. "Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow was the mark of success." In Jenner's opinion, Obama "basically said that they're influencing a generation of youngsters to be obsessed with wealth and celebrity," she said, going on to quote his comments. "I wasn't aware that you could only set the bar so high, and that we could only dream so big," she said. "I was taught dream big, work hard, and you can have whatever you wanted." And then there's this thought that came to Jenner: "I bet the president has some friends with 10,000 square foot houses. And you probably wouldn't mind going over there, Mr. President, while you were asking them to have a party for you when you were campaigning for dollars to run for president. I find it so odd that he's picking on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West." She also had a few corrections to make, pointing out that "Kanye West, first of all, doesn't go on vacation, ever, 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. I started thinking about her 10,000 square foot house, and I thought 'Wow, her job affords her to live in her 10,000 square foot house.' And I think, if I'm not mistaken, that Mr. President's job affords him to live in a 55,000 square foot house." It is impressive that Obama would know details about Kimye, given that his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, has said that he doesn't care for his daughters, Malia and Sasha, to watch the E! show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." (And we all know what he thinks about West - after all, he's called the man a jacka** twice.)

thank you kris jenner. you are yet another celebrity in the long line of people realizing that the OBAMAS = HYPOCRITES. they are big into do as i say, not as I do. look at him now. every thing he so vehemently attacked gw about he is doing and worse. she thinks that everyone should eat organic vegetables when only a few can even afford them. they are vacationing willy nilly while our country suffers. and now amidst wars and cities of people killing/shooting one another hourly, he has the time to diminish kim kardashian and kanye west. maybe he did it while on the golf course. at least then we already knew he was busy not being the president.
I know just enough about this family to deliberately avoid opening articles or engaging in conversations about them when someone brings it up, but I had to read this as she invoked Obama's name. This person (whatever her first name is – I forgot) has no reading comprehension ability. She's responding to a statement that Obama never made. That's mainly what I know about her.
When is their 15 minutes going to be over? Obama is right to criticize people like this. They are just gross!!!!
REMINDER- Kim got famous for making a porn! Then her family jumped on the ole wagon.... Wow hard work there.

i had too remain-we are not on her doctor calls...we had too do it...
Excuse me....hard working girl because she spends most of her time taking pics for magazines, for campaigns is that why she does not sleep?
If she is the hardest working girl in the world, then im wonder women in Africa.I wake up at 4 am, heat the water for my kids to bath, take them to school, go to work at 7 am, then at 5 pm pics the kids at school, then i go to school too, comeback at 10 pm and cook, do the laundry, clean the house and still serve my husband.
Kris, u kid is in heaven and earning millions just for taking pics, that's like nothing.
Kim is not a NORMAL person like you and i. She is a celebrity there is a difference between work for a normal person and work for a celebrity. DUHHHHHHH
she's listening to my parents doctor calls....we had too do it...
Thats the difference between regular people and celebs tho. rather you think it or not your favorite celebrity does not work like us people have to....... its reality.
you degraded your husband in front of the town...your a hoe

yes we all know how hard she works.. on her knees with her head bobbing up and down with mommy pimping out her moves
Clown
we re not speaking of your m0ther here
who s knees are all RED
ha ha ha. yeah, she worked real hard in that videotape that made her so "famous". shut up woman and go back to pimping out your icky offspring. GOBAMA!
Your e Just JEALOUS
you can never be a KARDASHIAN
I agree with Kris. As i am a huge fan. Kim k lives a life she can afford which is the life she works for. Who is obama to critize?? Sounds like mr. president is affended by the way Kim k shows her wealth which is vactioning, enjoying her self and buying nice things which she works so hard for. I believe Kim k, is a nice person (I do not know her personally) but from watching the family show, she clearly has morals. What is so wrong with the way they live? They arent doing drugs, partying every night so mr. obama doesnt like them?????...... hahah Who is he to critize? Disgust me.
I'm going to echo what a number of other posters have here: what, kind of "work," exactly, does Kim Kardashian do that merits all of her wealth? And if you bother to respond to this, be sure to check your answer according to an English language dictionary's definition of "work" and especially "hard work."
Thank you.
Reply back to "please elaborate"
Kim k's "work" is fashion, modeling, ect. That is work in the industry she is in. Wether you think it is or not, it is! And she works hard to mantain her image.
also, english language dictionary definition is different for ALLLLLL celebrities if you did not notice. Really, no celeb does that sort of work.
She also owns her own store, along side her sisters. ((((:
true and the boutique is lovely in the village and the one in miami is cute too
Successful
Well said
these people are fu...cking mean and stupid
What has kim done to them ?
Atleast someone agree's with me. You can tell, clearly, none of these people really know any thing about Kim or the Kardashian family.

Even Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner still have s-x.
yep saw the S-TAPE SHE,S WORKING REALLY HARD,LOL
i just stand on stage and she does the rest.
Maybe Kris should get a tutor and have him or her go over the article with her in order to get the TRUE meaning of what he was trying to say out of it. This paragraph sums it up pretty well:
"A constant barrage of made-for-television wealth has changed what kids regard as normal lives, Obama said, so that traditional benchmarks of success – a home, job, education, health care, and retirement – are no longer deemed sufficient."
Obama has never once said that hard work and dedication had their limitations or to never "dream big"; in fact, he constantly preaches the opposite! Unfortunately, Kris and the rest of the Kardashians are so hell bent on preserving their cash cow–fame–that any opposition to it is a threat to their existence (i.e. Obama, Katie Couric, any sane person who believes that they are famous for anything more than being pretty and showing their ass every chance they get). FORTUNATELY, it would simply be impossible for every single American to obtain wealth in the manner that the Kardashians did, no matter how "hard" we worked at it. Most people have to get actual jobs and work our way up to wealth. Hopefully, the fact that she is addressing these concerns of the president's (and consistently nice Kim is bashing sweet Katie Couric all over the internet) means that they are getting so much backlash all over the place that one day SOON we may finally stop hearing about this self-absorbed family!!!!
FOR GODS SAKE WHAT THE F DOES KIM KARDASHIAN DO? KRIS IS DISILLUSIONAL IF SHE THINKS KIM IS THE HARDEST WORKING WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
To the President "Amen to you"
To the Kardashians "get off the Air" and to the "momma Kris you're pathetic"!!!! you're daughter has worked on her back for years!!
The president even commenting on a reality TV show says it all. He is way over his head as commander-in-chief, which is a problem for us all. God help us.
And to YOU ELLEN, you are a disgusting individual with the amount of hate you carry and spread over these pages. You are definitely not a reflection of God's love, so please do the true believers a favor and stop claiming you are a part of the Christian (Christ-like) faith. If you claim to be so "holy" and "tight" with God, then perhaps you should re-evaluate the example He displays in his Word (the Bible), which was left a guide of how we should conduct ourselves. You fail Ellen, HORRIBLY, and if I were a non-believer reading your abuse, I would not want to know the God you serve. Take time to look at yourself because you are a hot mess dear. You were not created to spread hate and claim to be a representative of God, you are suppose to be winning souls, but instead you choose to be poison. You are no better than the people out here killing and starting wars. You kill with your tongue. #praying for you though and I hope you can get it together before the real judgement day. That is all..
Oh Yes, Kim Kardashian is so hard working – but not hard working enough, where in fact she can't even carry her own child strolling into the doctor's office... her 24/7 nanny is pictured carrying the child while Kim and Kanye casually walk behind empty handed. ** roll eyes **
the difference in the 10000 sq ft home and the 55000 sq ft home is that the boob in ther 55000 sq ft home will be kicked out of it in a few years ,and the lady owns hers !
"kicked out?" How is he being "kicked out" when he'll be leaving in 2016 due to it being the end of his two terms in office? If he'd gotten beat by Nitwit Romney last November, THEN you could say he'd been kicked out of his 55000 sf digs. You conservatives are really fking stupid, aren't you? You struggle so much with thinking, talking and writing.
She REALLY needs to stop it. Obama isn't right about everything but he was SPOT ON in his critique.
the karcashians are pathetic nothing more than something to look at and thats just kim the rest of them aren't even worth a second look chris your the wost mom ever however it's really fun watching your completely useless son getting fatter you can see him growing bigger with each passing moment probably from the guilt of being the most useless member of the most useless family in America ...
They do dress nicely.
*droop*
Hey Kris,
I'm sure what he really meant was: someone who is famous for a home movie and her man who brags about that fact are garbage. I can agree.
Nice suit Kris.!
There is a rather large bulge in the front of my khaki trousers right now...
Stop bashing the president for commenting. I think what he was trying to do is use them as an example of why this country is off track. And I wholeheartedly agree a lot of the issue is technology (the internet) and the crap that's broadcast in the media. Unfortunately, these dopes are all over so his commenting isn't that he doesn't have anything better to do, it's his thoughts on something the country needs to change in order to get back on track. Stop "finding" things to criticize the man for. I agree, 100%, with him.
Sorry, my bad. 🙁
You sound like a feisty liberal, DebbieS. I bet you're kinda cute...
Shouldn't her show be canceled by now? what's the difference from this show and the other reality show they have? I don't watch either, but it sounds like it's about the same thing. Only difference is they have all those idiot people with no lives applauding them (Kris). And what's up with that suc_ a$$ sitting next to her? I remember the days when I had not even heard of that last name yet!!!Those were the days...Thanks OJ for making their dad relevant...hate these hos!!!
Panthro, the name of her co-host is Token Blaque-Stooge.
What's the matter little fatty Ellen? Did you not get your 10 eggs and 5 kg bacon this morning? PIG.
I do not think Kris does all that much, but I would agree that her daughters do work very hard. It is not easy servicing entire basketball teams on one time.
I usually never reply to comments on here but WOW, had to reply to this one!! @Agreement I literally LOL'd to your comment. So funny!!!!! 😛
Lol!
ZING!! POW!!....GOOD ONE!!
we have her a file name on file already...her marriage sucks...usual story of despair
Its your fault you blmbo! If it werent for your v@ginal expulsions, America could have been free of the Katrashian nonsense.
Typical American television, FAKE
Ms. Jenner and her clan are offensive. "Work hard and you too can be wealthy" ? Wouldn't it be great if that were true but it's not. There are many hard working people who don't make a million. It is obvious Ms. Jenner and her clan have never gone beyond high school. (If that) But education isn't something she has instilled to her family. Instead she has passed on her ridiculous ability to sell out any and everything for the spotlight for the highest price. These people are about as self-realized as an egg.
Am I the only person that is sooooo tired of having Kardashian shoved in both ends? By God whats this country coming to by putting MORE Kardashian in the spotlight? Leme guess, she's running for presisent also the next term.
an egg is more relevant and self realized. I'd rather watch an egg boil than to watch this overhyped family who offer nothing to the well being of America. I wish they'd all move to Afghanistan.
Kim K is a PIG and I wouldn't even shake her hand.
Poor Rob... he is the only one with a college degree and they chastise him and treat him like a loser because he isn't a media w h o r e bringing in the bucks by endorsing cheesy cosmetics, crappy hair products and weight loss supplements. LOL
Actually, Kourtney has a college education as well. I do not believe Kim is THE hardest working woman in America; however, she does work harder than some of us know.
I guess to Kris working "real hard" is putting together an adult entertainment video to let the whole world see so that it will katapult you into celebrity status. Who needs college. Kris snagged a few wealthy men and had their children to secure her future. I guess she considers that "working hard." Who needs an education when you can endorse products and let Kris become your manager... negotiate your Playboy offer.
I realize that the Kardashian clan have a high opinion of themselves. However, I believe the President spoke the truth - they represent what is wrong with this country - unrealistic expectations. And Kris Jenner is seriously delusional if they thinks her clan works hard - they wouldn't know how to deal with the real world - they hire people to do the hard work. When each and every one of them has worked in the REAL WORLD, in a 9-5 job and juggled family responsibilities on top of that and within a budget then they will know the true meaning of WORK REALLY HARD.
God help the lipstick lesbians at your office ellen! If you are anything like your persona on here in real life, I would commit suicide upon being introduced to you. Life is not worth living if it must be shared with revolting examples such as yourself. I hope you're very old or have cancer so we won't have you for long.
GO AWAY, KARDASHIAN FAMILY!
Kim K. and any other Kardashian couldn't hold out to have a "REAL JOB". They live off other folks that buy their crap.
I'm not that old, but I remember a time when the president had bigger things to do than to comment on Hollywood media hacks. Though it is funny to watch the liberals go after each other.
Completely concur. I was thinking as I read this, "I'll bet this never happened to George Washington..."
How ever Kim has made her money, good luck to her. I wish I was as well off as her.
President Obama was straight on with his comments. Brainless Kris Jenner should keep her ignorant mouth shut. Who in the world does she think she is? Poor role model for her children. Her stepson Brady Jenner has her well pegged for her shallowness and materialism. The woman is one big joke. No wonder Bruce Jenner moved out of their house. She must be hard to stomach.
I don,t know who is the bigger pig. Kim Kartrashian or Sarah Palin.
I believe the answer to that is Yo Momma.
Trigtwit palin...America's favorite tard baby
The Kardashians' father made an impact on society. The President of the United States, be it Mr. Obama or whomever, makes an impact on our society.
What in the Hell does Kim, Khloe, Kris and the rest of the Kardashian freaks give back to society? They don't work for God's sake. They have no idea what a real job is and have no actual useful skills to offer any employer. They are famous for absolutely nothing and I for one am sick of hearing about them and how all the bad people are ganging up on them.
The words "hard word" and "Kardashian" should never be used in the same sentence. Just sayin.
Refresh my memory: what, exactly, does Kim K. do for a living? What is this 'hard work' that Kris is alluding to? And don't tell me it's her reality TV show, where all she has to do is sit around eating bon bons while the cameras rolll.
She's a media w h o r e ...any more questions?
