Barack Obama Reflects On Michael Jackson

U.S. President Barack Obama says Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. “I think that his brilliance as a performer also was paired with a tragic and, in many ways, sad personal life,” Obama said. “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 President added that he grew up on the late King of Pop’s music and has a lot of Jackson’s music on his iPod.
