Anything to sling mud @ Obama, huh?

This is a misnomer of sorts

Msn isn’t the only news outlet and actually nbc isin big trouble when it comes to rating in general.

So bigger watched on msn.com sure but bigger than the inaguration not quite

Blanket looks just like Michael to me!! I honestly believe that those are Michael’s biological kids. It doesn’t matter how many viewers watched, he’s still the president.

Hubby called me at work to see if I was coming home for lunch. He only worked a few hours today and picked up pizza(I guess he’s tired of 4th of July BBQ) LOL. I did not have access to a tv at work but got online to read the comments of the memorial. I was watching tv this morning and ppl want a postage stamp of Mike. I like the idea. Let it be our “forever stamp” , As much as I love our Red, White and Blue Flag Stamp I would love to see different pics of Michael on them. Ppl will buy them even if they have nothing to mail. (The post office will feel the stimulas effect because this stamp will sell).

“Michael Jackson…… you are NOT the father”

Anything to take a stabe at Obama, lmao.

I agree those kids do look like they got a little black in them. Plus we don’t know the genes of Joe’s family. I swear Joe look like he can put his hands on his yt ancestors.

For me the most moving parts were of that Sen. who spoke on Michael. & at the end when Marlon got on stage. SMH he broke my heart. That was their brother. & I believe that was Rebbie on stage with them.

I just want to say that I think the service was beautiful. No one was acting out of order inside or outside.

so glad trey lorenz performed w/mimi! outstanding! i did have to break down when paris spoke though.

Remember that incident in London when Michael dangled the baby over the railing? That was Blanket. Poor thing looks like he still hasn’t fully recovered from his near-death experience.
SunnyPA

That was so wrong Sandra(heehee). But since you said it, my daughter said the same thing when she first saw him at the memorial service.
masonmom

poor blanket! he’s gonna get fired up in school. im waiting for the sale of the memorial at $29.95 to raise money to pay for the 1500+ security officers needed in LA. how the heck is hollywood broke?
Prissydiva71

Sandra, even in death, you still have to be classless. His sperm or not, those ARE his kids!!!!!!!!!!!
starr

lots of people are asking if its going to be on dvd…..idk

Those poor kids…..I feel so horrible that they lost their father….and then to think about what there about to go through with custody…….
SunnyPA

@masonmom
Thanks for letting us know that. I’ll be sure to purchase one to help out.

Debbie Rowe doesn’t want the kids, she wants money. Throw her a bone and she will go away. If she wanted the kids, she would have went to see them by now. Katherine gave her an open invitation and I think she was sincere with it.

My daughter’s father died when she was 3 y/o and we were broke with not nearly as much family and friends. Those kids will be fine.
SunnyPA

I have to say (before going to bed), the memorial left me feeling very proud … not sad.

I loved what B. Shields said, but the kids our not her kids. He He! She is beautiful but she did refer to “blanket as “blanket”. I call my son his name/family name and only a mother/ father/ famimly. member can do that. I won’t say what I call my son.

Blank stare.

Michael has been on the scene since 1968. Obama came on the scene approximately two to three years ago.

I’m sure there are republicans who loved Michael Jackson’s music, too. That may explain the difference, lol.

Anyway I feel bad for those children, and I hope they have a somewhat easy transition into their new lives.
Daisy

@attymom I really want you to be sleep at 2:52 am lol bless your heart
masonmom

blanket looks like that daughter from The Incredibles!

Blanket looks like he’s mixed with Iranian. I think Michael wanted another Jordy Chandler. Just my opinion.
Alana

Blanket looks just like Michael!
Krysi J

I knew he would break yet another record, even in death, he can not be compared to anyone at this point.

Yeah Auntie…. Blanket does….. but, he do look JUST LIKE MIKE!

Unless TMZ get the DNA results, you can’t tell me them ain’t Michael Jackson’s kids….

I think they call Blanket that b/c he and his brother are both named Prince Michael Joseph Jackson…..

Oh yeah, I saw on the news that a republican is about to fight that resolution honoring MJ.

@coaretained
Thanks,
You can’t tell me any different either and even if the test said you are NOT the father, I’d think Sandra had something to do with a mix up. =)
