Mr. President, You Can Thank Michael Jackson For The White House

Jermaine Jackson says Obama owes his term to his late brother

According to the King of Pop’s brother Jermaine Jackson, six-degrees-of-separation made Barack Obama the president of these United States, and it’s all thanks to Michael.

Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine sat down with the Independent shortly before today’s anniversary of the pop-icon’s death. In the interview, he talked about Michael’s death and the subsequent fallout, remarking that “America has let Michael down,” since his death in 2009. “If he was from any other country they would have erected permanent tributes to him for what he’s done for music.” Jermaine also said that the family still doesn’t have any closure from Michael’s death. For the Jacksons, many questions remain unanswered. “The family still need to know who else came into the house that night. In time we might get answers but there will never be closure.”

Most interestingly, Jermaine claimed that Michael’s influence put President Barack Obama in the White House hot-seat, reports Newser. How? Simple. It all started with Oprah.

In Michael Jackson’s 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the singer claimed that he had Vitiligo, a disease the late pop star claimed bleached his skin. According to Jermaine, it was this interview that propelled Oprah to her own eventual fame. With that fame, Oprah threw her support behind then-Senator Barack Obama, which some say helped him secure the Democratic nomination. “Michael invited her [to Neverland] and that was the moment that put her in 90 countries around the world and made her successful. What did she do with that success? She put it behind Obama,” said Jermaine.

Jermaine also blamed British tabloids for destroying his brother’s reputation, and closed by remarking on the sadness surrounding the culture’s acceptance of Michael only after his death. “No one knew Michael like we did. He wasn’t weird or strange he was just different. And it is only since his death that people are finally beginning to truly understand him.”

Do you think Michael Jackson had a hand in Barack Obama’s presidency?

    It’s unfortunate that we live in a society which tears apart an artist’s life while they’re alive and makes a martyr of them after their death. Hopefully Michael is resting more peacefully than he lived, under the intense heat of the media. Who was the man in the mirror and behind the television screens? I addressed MJ’s legacy with a portrait on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-memoriam-king-of-pop.html Drop by and let me know how his music affected you.

    YES Jermaine is accurate! Jermaine is also telling us why MJ faked his death because he was so wronged in life that the government (FBI) allowed MJ a new way to start anew due to the lack of interference to stop Tom Sneedon from that ever-destroying trial back in 2005. The FBI had been conducting secret investigations and surveillances on MJ for the past 13 years and knew beyond a shadow of doubt that MJ was innocent but kept quiet which aided in MJ's lack of his constitutional rights of the pursuit of life, freedom and liberty. That's why Marlon was wearing the FBI hat the day after the death announcement so to signal the alert fans that this is just a way the government redeems themself by allowing MJ to die and then ComeBack to life.

    MJ wouldn't have had the heart to do that to his fans.
