Obama Comments on Michael Jackson's Death

Today the President said Jackson will “go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. I grew up on his music.” Obama did not make any other comments concerning Jackson’s death until today, telling the Associated Press the King of Pop led “a tragic and in many ways sad personal life,” also pointing out all of the star’s music is on his iPod. Rumors about Michael’s funeral suggest the star will be buried on July seventh at the Staples Center. The original plan was to bury Jackson at one of his favorite places, Neverland. That didn’t blow over well at all since the company that owns the ranch refused to let this plan occur.
