Barack Obama Afraid to Publicly Acknowledge Michael Jackson?


President Barack Obama has written to the family of Michael Jackson rather than making a public statement, his senior adviser said Sunday.

Asked why Obama had yet to speak publicly about Jackson's sudden death last week at age 50, Axelrod said: "The president has written the family and has shared his feelings with the family."
"He felt that was the appropriate way to go," Axelrod said.
