    Obama's prayers with Whitney Houston's family

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama's thoughts and prayers are with Whitney Houston's family, especially her daughter.

    Press secretary Jay Carney says it's hard not to be an admirer of the singer's "immense talent." And, he says it is a tragedy to lose somebody so talented at such a young age.

    Carney said he was not sure if Obama and Houston ever had met.

    The 48-year-old singer died Saturday.

      I respected Obama for not speaking out about this tragedy but now he does. Again, he lost my respect. As president of the US & the most powerful man on earth, it's best to shut up unless he knew Whitney personally but he doesnt. I dont think any other prez has ever done this but this guy does weird things.

      Yet, we never see a story where Obama's prayers go out to the spouse of a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine who gave their life for America. Nice to know that a drugged up singer's life means more to Obama than that of a military person.

        What's he supposed to do give "regrets" to every soldier that gets killed fighting George Bush's oil wars? He's never have time to shoot hoops.

        He prays everyday, that's why he is bringing them home where they belong. If left up to the GOP, they will be over there for eternity, getting killed.
      • babette 3 mths ago
        Yeah, as of the day before yesterday, the same day Houston died, he brought home six boys, IN FRIGGIN COFFINS, let's pray for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      if it is a catholic church then he must first have confessed which would, in his case, impose a huge number of novinas and other prayers......he'll be there for a long time...
      • Kansan51 3 mths ago
        Maybe he will have to skip the election. He'll still be in the confessional.
      • tom 3 mths ago
        I'm sure his confessionals would be like his press conferences, he'd have it all scripted by someone else & just read it off a teleprompter. Maybe that's why he hasn't joined a church yet, none have room for his teleprompter & team of handlers.
    • Mutley  •  3 mths ago
      Did Obama open up his Koran before he prayed?
    • Tom  •  Shoshone, California  •  3 mths ago

      There is always be someone complaining about what others do in this country, The sad part is Calderon Charities of America does numerous events for the Military and yet no on attends or even donates but now that the NJ Governor is doing something out of the normal everyone wants to cry about our military and what they deserve as well as how no one cares. Stop crying about it and support the military as well. Then maybe your cries would be better understood. Instead they ignor the events being held and when it is time to show gratitude they hide. So let us see how many people who are hating on the issue about Whitney Houston actually donate/volunteer/or even attend any events for the Military that Calderon Charities of America does for fallen/PTSD Stricken/or injured troops in New Jersey. And believe me I will be the first to unfold their fake cries, "What about the Troops"..........

      Gee, my mother died recently and not a word from Owebama. I guess being white doesn't count for much these days from the Obamas.
