Just so we are straight, I have supported President Obama with my money, my time and way too many hours on this site, my blog, twitter, friendfeed, etc etc.

However, as much as I fiercely respect the President and his family. As much as I admire how much in general he has tried to keep many of his promises: HE IS JUST A DAMN MAN. It is not insulting, when he himself even before he took office told Jarrett and others that he worries about the unrealistic expectations those who supported his campaign felt about him.

In fact in an interview with

And given the hours I have spent defending him, supporting him and giving him my money —- when I don't like a particular position he has taken: I WILL SAY SO.

I deliberately mentioned Obama because just like Michael he is a trailblazer and Obama has worked hard to make this a better world than he found it. But I will not worship any man. It is not healthy for me, or the person.

So you don't have to say something similar about someone I like and admire. I already did.

You are not original. it's lame. When you say that to someone it's an insult How if I said the same thing about someone you like/ admired. Also those people always knew he was just a man. Also here some advice, turn off the damn TV. I'm sorry I'm tired of people who say people who support Obama worship him. You are not original. it's lame.

It was all used against him to make him seem weird and out of touch, when he was just a lonely child inside. Given what we know about MJ and how shrewd he was when it came to investments, he most likely saw those Elephant Bones as an investment too. Would the average person think that, no! But then he beat out some of the shrewedest ppl in the music industry when he bought the Beatles catalog!! Yes, that is what so sad..Bubbles too.
