"I still have all his music on my Ipod. I grew up with his music. Michael will go down in history as one of the greatest entertainers of our time." According to AP.
In my opinion, Barack Obama has not been respectful of the passing of Michael Jackson. He said nothing on the date of his death on June 25, 2009. Jesse Jackson, Jr. led the House in a moment of silence before Obama had his press secretary release a statement. Leaders from around the world expressed their sadness and condolences for the family on video! Where was Barack? Then he finally says he's going to send a letter to the family. What an arrogant...! Sorry, Barack Obama if coverage of Michael's death preempted your speeches. But Michael was a wonderful, kind and loving human being who was beloved by billions from EVERY country around the world. He was more than just a musical icon. We thought of Michael as our brother, our son, our friend, our guardian angel, our hope. His body is gone, but that beautiful spirit still remains. I wish that our American president would have recognized that a little sooner. I think it's sad that as the American president and the first African-American president he didn't recognize the importance of this event much sooner. Even Michael's friend former President Bill Clinton contacted the family by phone. Michael will be missed. God rest his soul.
Obama only knows how to read a teleprompter and do what others tell him to do. He probably had to check with other politicians to see what he should or should not say. He's a yes man to politics.....sad to say but he probably thinks he's a bigger celebrity than MJ was.
Who cares what he thinks of Michael? we really don't need him. He didn't invite Mj to his Precious party.
I’m sick of those celebrates coming out and supporting Michael now. Where were they, when Michael needed them. To hell with them all.
michael you are the only man I have ever loved. May Allah have mercy on you...
Sorry my English is not perfect
Are you guys serious? I mean, yeah, the passing of MJ was important and should be noticed, but the guy's trying to run the country for goodness sakes! Cut him some slack. Would you care if he hadn't said anything if Madonna died? Probably not...Who really cares if the president decides to say something or not? It's not going to bring Michael back. If he had said something that you had liked, you that make you like him? If you say yes, then that's a shame...
