Question:

Is Obama the Michael Jackson of our times?

by | earlier

I remember how Michael Jackson was so popular. All celebrities wanted to be a part of him, including Brooke Shields and Elizabeth Taylor. White people wanted to support a nonwhite because it made them look multicultural and openminded.Men, women, children were fainting just to touch his white glove. Everyone got caught up in the moonwalk. Won all these Grammies etc etc. Selling out to millions of crowds.

Is Obama the Michael Jackson of our times?

Where is Michael Jackson now?

I DO NOT SEE HOW MICHAEL AND OBAMA COMPARE? OBAMA IS NOT THE MICHAEL OF OUR TIMES BUT WHAT OBAMA IS, HE SHOULD BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALWAYS BLAMING OUR CIRCUMSYANCES FOR US NOT BEING WHERE WE SHOULD AND COULD BE. HIS DREAM AS A CHILD WAS TO BE PRESIDENT AND THEN HE GOT ON DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AND WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HIS TERRIBLE LIFE. BUT HE BOUNCED BACK AND IS NOW GOING BACK AFTER HIS DREAM. THAT GOES TO SHOW THAT WE CAN BE ANYTHING THAT WE PUT OUR MINDS TO. WE HAVE TO FIRST BELIEVE IN OURSELVES BEFORE ANYONE ELSE WILL. OBAMA CAUSED ME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO BECOME THE LAWYER THAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE SO NOW I AM IN SCHOOL. YOU COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM OBAMA.

How can you sit there and compare Obama to Michael Jackson? Step into the 21st Century!

Are you comparing these two men b/c they are black and in the public eye? I don't see any other thing I mean Michael Jackson was a pop star Obama is in politics. Although they both dance. I think your silly I don't understand the question. The way you state it you could compare Bush with Elivs. And that is silly.

clalby, I registered just to tell you that you're a ******* idiot:  you're a ******* idiot.  There, I said it and I feel better for having done so.  You gotta have a severely low IQ to have followed the case and believe MJ is a pedophile.  Either that or you have no idea what you're talking about.

Anyway, Obama and Jackson are nothing alike.  Several things have been cool at one point or another.

Michael Jackson was and is an immensely talented musician. That was the source of his power over people and his popularity. He was also irrevocably crazy because of his fame and messed up childhood. None of the above apply to Obama. He's neither a musician nor a lunatic. If you're trying to criticize Obama, you may want to point out that his popularity is disproportionate to his accomplishments. Simply comparing him to Michael Jackson is shallow and ignorant.

Is Brittany Spears the Rosemary Clooney of our times?

No I think Sydney Poitier would be a better comparison, but without appearing pedantic, your question seems a little redundant. You are comparing two different fruits. A peach and a nut.

Obama and Jacko are nothing alike other than their skin color (and that's open to debate since Jacko is now whiter than a ghost).

yeah but michael jackson is/was a paedophile/hugely disturbed and mentally incapacitated.he has joseph merricks remains for f*cks sake. thats why hes not popular anymore.

Obama, well...only time will tell. but he doesn't seem as crazy as jacko. i cant really see him building a theme park in his backyard, grooming kiddies and befriending a monkey until it acts like a monkey.

but time will tell

People liked Michael Jackson because he is extremely talented and his music prtty much dominated the 80s. I can see no comparison between Obama and Jackson beyond the fact that they are black. Obama does not sing, moonwalk or, as far as I can see, indulge in plastic surgery.
