Obama Remembers Michael Jackson

One week after the tragic death of Michael Jackson, President Barack Obama has finally spoken out about the pop legend.

In an interview with the AP, Obama stated, “I’m glad to see that he is being remembered primarily for the great joy that he brought to a lot of people through his extraordinary gifts as an entertainer.” The 47-year-old president also commented that he had grown up on Jackson’s music, and “I still have all his stuff on my iPod.”

“I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers,” the President added. “His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways, sad personal life.” 

Kudos to the Prez for reminding all of us what a national treasure Jackson’s music has been, and always will be.
