History repeats. At the peak of his popularity, Michael Jackson went to the White House. This is from the mjfiles.com website:

"When Michael Visited the White House
In 1984, John Branca, Michael's lawyer, received a call from Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole asking if Michael would donate Beat it as background music for an ad on drink-driving. Michael's initial reaction to this request was to refuse, saying he thought the idea was tacky.

Then, thinking it over, he came up with an idea. Ever the clever businessman, Michael told John that if he could get some kind of award from the White House, then he would give them the song. According to biographer J Randy Taraborrelli, Michael asked John to negotiate something, saying, "i want to go to the White House. I want to be on stage with the President [Ronald Reagan], and get an award from him. And sure i want to meet Nancy [First Lady, Nancy Reagan]. The whole works. Why not? You think you can do that, Branca. Can you get me an award form the President?"

And so on 14 May 1984, Michael arrived at the White House to receive an award from the President. His arrival caused a sensation. Once at the podium, the President said that Michael was "proof of what a person can accomplish through a lifestyle free of alcohol and drug abuse...And if Americans follow his example, then we can face up to the problem of drinking and driving, and we can, in Michael's words, beat it."

That day, Michael was treated like an American hero. He was flush with the success of Thriller and the world was his."

Jay-Z is very much involved in the NWO plans. And so is Beyonce. Both are willing slaves in the music industry. If you don't follow the orders from above, you will get into trouble. As we can see with what happened to MJ, John Lennon and others. Prince was luckier - he stopped before it got too dangerous for him.

And the president is on the same payroll as Jay-Z.

Is that comment meant for me, Sos?

What's with the "typing loud and saying nothing" comment?

Actually whether it was meant for me or not, it's sorta condescending and not really necessary. But if it was meant for me, let me say this, friend; while we agree on some points about the visit, there are shades of grey where we disagree, and big whoop. I took the context of your statement to mean that the President was somehow the one who looked elitest for this photo surfacing, and I disagreed with that. I also made (or at least I tried to make) a point that celebrities have been to the White House for visits and photo ops that had nothing to do with cultural events or to receive special honors an distinctions (as you stated in your post).

It's really not that big of a deal to get so touchy over and start attacking people's character...really it isn't coffee
