Obama To Sing Opening Song At Whitney Houston’s Funeral, Close It With Duet With Bobby Brown



Feb 12, 2012 152 Comments ›› Pat Dollard

Washington (AP) – The White House has announced this morning that President Barack Obama will sing the opening and closing songs at Whitney Houston’s yet-to-be-scheduled memorial service.

In a statement released exclusively to the Associated Press, the White House revealed that President Obama personally called Bobby Brown to first offer his condolences, and then offered to sing both the opening and closing songs of the memorial service, suggesting “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “I Will Always Love You”, respectively. The statement went on to say that Mr. Brown thought it was “A terrific idea,” with the modification that Mr. Brown would join the President in a duet for the closing song.

Details of the memorial service are not expected until sometime after the autopsy.

    ” There is only one race, the human race”. No there are three races, Caucasoids, Mongoloids, and Negroids and they all have distinct characteristics, everything else are ethnicities. Gandhi was a liberal who like liberals believe race is a social construct instead of an anthropological fact.

    WOW CS I have not heard of the 3 races for years. I remember learning them in school 30 years ago. The kids nowadays don’t have a clue other than they must feel sorry for everybody  else. I also remember the races attributes, Negroids can withstand high heat, mongoloids extreme cold and caucs have advanced brain function capable of dreaming and then making it a reality. But I think there is trouble coming with all this interbreeding going on, I see more and more halfbreed dipshits all the time.

    from http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/what-happened-to-whitney-houston/
      What Happened to Whitney Houston?

    Whitney: There were times when he (Bobby Brown)
    would smash things, break things in the home. Glass. We had a big, big
    giant portrait of me and him and my child. He cut my head off the
    picture. Stuff like that. And I thought, “This is really strange.” So I
    figured, cutting my head off a picture, that was a little much for me.
    That was one sign.

    And then there were other things like he started to paint in my
    bedroom eyes. Just eyes. Evil eyes that were looking at every point of
    the room.

    Oprah: He started to paint on the walls?

    Whitney: Yeah. The rugs. The walls. The closet
    doors. If I opened the door, there would be one picture. Then I’d close
    them and there would be another picture and eyes and faces. It was
    really strange. …

    Oprah: What are you doing with all of that?

    Whitney: I’m looking at it going, “Lord, what’s
    really going on here?” I was getting scared because I felt something was
    going to blow. Something was going to give.

    Whitney: She said, “It’s not worth it.” She said:
    “If you move, Bobby, [the sheriff will] take you down. Don’t you make
    one move.” And he stood there like he was scared.

    And she said: “Let’s go. Let’s do this. I’m not losing you to the
    world. I’m not losing you to Satan. I’m not doing this. I want my
    daughter back. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes.
    That light in your eyes. I want to see the child I raised. And you
    weren’t raised like this. And I’m not having it. So you make a choice,
    and you make it here today because I have a court injunction that says
    you have to go.” …

    Piece of shit????? Boiy that is really showing the love of thy neighbor!!   Glad I am not your neighbor.

  • Wiseguyoi

    Too bad you feel that way about the POTUS. Now if you could only get your side to say “YES” just once. BO could really get this country back on track. Especially since it was the “TEN’ YEARS  of your SAY “NO” party that got us into this mess. and you all expect him to fix everything in four. I am sure he will get re-elected and finish what he started, especially when you look at the clowns that your side has running against him..They have given him then needed ammunitiion to win against either ot the Repulicans running, by pointing out each others faults, in their effert to win the nomination.  BTW how did you like the way he put them in the corner on contraception issue.? They were so bluffed they agree to the tax cut over it. Ha Ha!!… I would love to hear Obama sing for a friend, even at their funeral,,shows a ton of respect from him,not from his office. It takes a big man to do that and I am sure it comes from the heart, wether or not his voice is good or not. I think he will do a creditable enough of a job doing it, that it would make Whitney proud of him for doing it. You should all think some, before opening thy mouth.

  • Wiseguyoi

    You repubs finally said the right thing. Sing for all the men and women lost in the war. The two wars your side started and the men and women lost were on you watch. Ten years and you could not find one man. Was it worth the loss? BO comes in and not only ends the wars and is bringing the troops home, but found the hard to find man in less than one term in office AND took him out. And guess what? He did it with intelligence that was in the hands of the Repulican Administration before BO was elected, and they failed to act upon. You want to cheer you side now???? I am sure he has a song he could sing about that action. Going to have lunch now. Have a great day now!!

  • Wiseguyoi

    OH shit, here we go again. I am from USAF and all of those things you have listed were casused by your  sides actions and carried over to BO’s election.Do you realize the Trillion of $$$ it cost for the wars started by your side. All the forclosures and unemployment were caused by Republicans and Wall St and Bankings systems actions. Wall St’s phony assests, Bankings giving thiese phony assets to phony mortgages to people they knew could not afford to be able to handle.. And then they collapsed causing all that you have listed. We bailed them out, begining with the TARP (stimulus) starting with your President Bush, Now, when the shoe is on the other foot, Wall St, The banks,,that were responsible, will not lift a finger to help, No $$ to bail out the common person who’s tax dollars save their butts, and and gave them record profits and your party supporting them in this action. Tax breaks for the rich only. Well, that will soon be taken care of, as the tax breaks for the wealthy are due to run out soon. Then you will see what will happen. BO is on the right track, in advocating credit for companies hiring returning troops, tax breaks for companies returning to the USA,Manufacturing getting credits for hiring and getting back to saying “Made in America” not India or China, and help getting creditable teachers hired and the others who fail good teaching methods, be able to be fired. Education is the ticket to better jobs and the chance to excell. Other actions to numerouse to mention. And all of this from BO, without any help from the Repus. Plus the Auto industry is now back to being first and best in the world (of which the tax payer has a stake $$ in that industry, most have repaid their loans.Unemployment is dropping. This same Auto Industry the Republican Party said to let die. Your two Republicans trying for the nomination have both taken this stance in the past and still say they were right.Don’t figure, does it. But you say we have no shame. Apparentliy you are looking in the mirror and are afraid to admit you side has no real solutions except to say no.Just get that man out of the White House.  DON’T YOU AND THE OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE ANY SHAME??????? I AM EMBARASSED FOR YOU AND YOUR REASONINGS. Get up to date. Yes, America can last 4 more years, but only if we re-elect BO as POTUS and you know it~~~!!!! What I would really like Obama to do in his next speech, is to do what Roosevelt did  years ago in regards to the Panama Canal. Tell the Congress on both sides of the isle, that he is not going to work with a bought and paid for Congress, on both sides of the isle and go it without them being involved. He already warned them about insider trading, especially when they are working on a industry they are chairing on. Oh yes, Bo has hired 20,000 auditers to find and prosiccute those responsible for that action. Would your side do that?????????????????No would be their answer to that and action the Democrates advocate. Who should be ashamed now???????????? This time I am really leaving. Can’t take all the lieing and BS that you people advocate and also have no creditable answers, just name calling with no real reasoning. Adios. You better hope and pray that Bo gets re-elected or we will all be going down with no chance of hope. BTW gas at the pumps is estimated to go up to over $4.00 and maybe $5.00 by May according to Oil CEO’s. Another screw up by your sides particcipation.with the Wealthest’s actions

    THE FUNERAL IS FOR OUR DEAR WHITNEY not OBAMA’S SICK CAMPAIGN
    disgusting.

  • J Kilbo

    Most likely this is why the family chose to have a private ceremony after finding
    out he was coming …..and B. Brown and Obama singing—what a bunch
    of sickos. 

    Oh I can just see it now…the whole town is bombarded with Obama’s security and entourage
    primarily and dear Whitney’s funeral, last.

    ALL FOR HIM…and his campaign.

    Ludicrous!!!!!

  • Flatforty

    WOW!!! Why do you think Obama we care about if you can sing WHICH YOU CAN’T, and why in the world would you want to make a BIGGER ASS out of yourself and humiliate her and her family as you have already done for our country. What you need to do is respect this family and this beautiful artist and wonderful person enough and stay put where your at and belong where our tax paying dollar put you and do your JOB and send condolences and spare us all more of your foolish tactics.

    Whitney houston was the worlds greatest idol, popstar, soul singer. Barak obama if he is doing this, shows how caring he is. The us needs a caring president. Leave obama alone for fucks sakes. How long do you think itll take to fix bushes mess? 2 decades i say.
