President Barack Obama has written a note to Michael Jackson's family, a top White House adviser said today.
David Axelrod says Obama expressed his condolences to the Jacksons. He said Obama saw the pop star as a spectacular performer whose life had sad and tragic aspects.
The Prez did not issue a statement following Jackson's death.
16. Obama is wonderful :)

18. Sometimes you people aren't smart. Everything the president does TMZ does not consider news worthy. I am sure he has written notes plenty of times, they just choose not to report it.

19. dove an no_name coward, both of you needs too get a life first of all!! Farrah Fawcett has contributed too society her talent of being an actress in roles of portraying battered women in films. She brought attention too this country problem an as such laws been changed bills passed. Your ignorance becomes both of you, Micheal an Farrah in their rights were both advocates for changes for the better. Just cause she was a white female or not so well known throughout the world as Micheal, does not make her any less!!!!!! grow up an educate yourselves as well

20. Were any notes sent to the families of the service people killed ? Bet not.
Were notes sent to the families of Farrah and Ed McM? Bet not
I guess we all know by now who the President represents.

21. I have to mention first that I am not an Obama fan. But lets get serious here folks. Why would anyone waste their time writing a letter to Ed or sausage link nips Farrah? They accomplished not evein 1% put together of what Jackson did. Jackson changed the industry, music, mtv, concerts, dancing, singing songwriting, Help people in need. and tons much more.
Ed was a friggin side kick who SENT EVERYONE JUNK MAIL!
Sausage link nips did a poster. yeah thats it. a poster.
RIP Jackson

23. Although it was kind of the President to reach out to the Jackson family, I just wish he would have done the same for Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. MJ was the King of Unity, he loved everyone and attempted to bring all people together, I felt that the lack of acknowlwdgement for Mr. McMahon and Ms. Fawcett was telling.

24. Very typical of him. He loves being a celebrity more than a president. He has not done a single damn thing for our economy other than proposing a stupid refinance bill that is going to benefit less than 1% of the house owners in America. We need your attention on more urgent matters MR. President!

25. I think that a president of such an important country as USA is, should have more ardent issues on his agenda, than the death of one citizen of this country. People die every day, in much more misery and despair, needlessly and untimely WITHOUT ADEQUATE MEDICAL HELP! Uncared for children in the US, hungry and neglected are just an 'issue' forever unresolved. And here we are, in the 21st. century still practicing the primitive/tribal ritual of death! I have news for you all! EVERYBODY DIES! Under the circumstances, by the same token, the 'Prez' owes some condolences to the families of Farrah and Ed.

26. Also I am surprised that you aren't reporting anything about Jesse Jackson getting together with Joe (abuser) Jackson and of course how can we forget Al Sharpen (are they really reverends?) who will soon be in the picture!!! These two show up every where to keep their faces in the spotlight!!! They are nothing but a bunch of ambulance chasers........................

27. You people are either naive or just stupid to think that everyone that passes should get the same attention. His contributions and impact on the entertainment world is incomparable.

28. Oh so now when the president sends a letter to the family of a man who was an international superstar it's racism but all these years that white presidents catered to whites that was ok right? Get a life you low-lifes!

29. What a dumb ass president we have...

30. Yeah, I remember that time that Bush got out his crayons to print his condolence semi-sentences.
Those were the days.
Posted at 11:11AM on Jun 28th 2009 by At least now we have a president who can write and speak well
