Kris Jenner has spoken out against dismissive comments on her daughter by president Obama.

According to HuffPost, Obama discussed teens looking up to the Kardashians and admiring their lavish lifestyles.

"Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success," Obama said.

Jenner mentions that her daughter works very hard for what she says and, as for Kanye, he doesn't even take vacations.

While there is a lot to be said for what goes on behind the cameras and how hard celebrities work, we must keep in mind that “Keeping up with the Kardashians” involves a lot of Kim and her sisters hanging around the house, entertaining or going out.

Jenner makes a valid point when she stresses the fact that it would be hypocritical for Obama to criticize Kim living in a large mansion since his job allows him the same luxury.

She also stresses that it was people with large mansions that contributed to his presidential campaign.
