Another loyal reader is disappointed in Barack Obama’s apathetic response to the passing of pop icon Michael Jackson two weeks ago.

This is a letter, I sent to the White House that I wanted to share:
I am a little disappointed with President Obama right now regarding his lack of interest with one of the greatest musical icons ever. I am speaking of Michael Jackson. [Obama] recently stated in a recent interview yesterday that he was unaware that the black community was displeased with the fact that he has not taken time out to pay his respect appropriately.
Then he should start listening to the black radio stations a little more because people are displeased. The same passion that blacks had for rallying around his campaign are the very ones that are just as passionate about losing Michael Jackson. Sometime Mr. President, you have to stop being so “political” and be a little more real.. Stop getting your advice regarding the entertainment world from people like Oprah. Because she can be real clueless at times too. You lose mass points with me on this one Mr. President. Oh but good job on everything else you are doing so far.

ummmmm no
Sandra, I just got off the phone with reuters and getty. They’re going to email you some other Obama pics.
now the topic at hand, why is Obama supposed to comment or make a statement about MJ? I still dont get this one. I do believe he couldn’t have done with his sligh remark, but outside of that, what more is he obligated to say?
Wow she took the time to write a letter complainig about MJ when he did comment several times but not other more important issues facing the country SMH at her priorties being all out of order
***could have
Whoever wrote this letter has huge issues, you silly girl/boy ever heard of iran n korea afghanistan, the recession he has bigger things to worry about than michael jackson

You mean you havent done so already?
@Cheryse…SMH

Actually, I could care less about Obama’s reaction (or lack thereof) to Michael Jackson’s heartbreaking demise. I am more concerned about his taxing cap and trade bill and his willingness to get into our personal lives.

lmao she sure does love that picture doesnt she?
i think if Mr. President would have made a big fuss over MJ he would have gotten critized for that too. BARACK OBAMA CANT WIN FOR LOSING, he cant please everybody
so if black people are outraged that he did not speak out about MJ, white people have the right to be upset that he hasn’t spoken out about Ed McMahon & Farrah Fawcett??? Come on people, he is the PRESIDENT of the USA!!!!!
i meant *criticized*
also its been 30 yrs since MJ was simply a ‘black celeb’ MJ been crossed those lines ……….Every concert footage they show its a stauduim full of EVERYONE (mainly yt folks tho) if he was only a ‘black celeb’ the media woulda been stopped talking him…. MJ was/is the biggest celeb in the world it gets no bigger than him….only the death of Obama himself would warrent more attention
i miss MJ im still saddened and i do not think its been to much coverage…its some politican guy on youtube venting about MJ
lmao @ charles!!!
I guess I can forget about that rational post today. Aight. I’ll bite.
Tell your faithful reader that Mr. Obama is the President of the United States. He does not and should not bow down to Hollyweird celebs. He has not commented on David Carradine, Ed McMahon or Farah Fawcett either. Black people alone couldn’t and didn’t put our president in office and he doesn’t just serve us.
@13
That’s ur flawed opinion
Wow…
I’m really trippin that whoever wrote this letter actually said Obama needs to listen to black radio stations more often to keep up-to-date with the entertainment world! ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I hope this is an instance where now that you have it posted on the web and reread it, you realize how silly you sound…wow
