Barack Obama Reacts to Michael Jackson’s Death
The world has been reeling for the past week ever since Michael Jackson passed away, and President Barack Obama offered his thoughts about the loss today.
Speaking of the “Beat It” singer’s impact on the world of popular culture, Obama said that Jackson “will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers.”
On the other side of the coin, though, the President also made reference to Michael’s “tragic and in many ways sad personal life.”
The fact that Barack Obama has waited an entire week to comment on Jackson’s death has stirred up some controversy amongst his supporters, especially in African American circles, though the President brushed off the criticism by telling AP White House correspondent Jennifer Loven, “Look, you’re the first person who’s actually asked me about it.”
