Obamma,s policies may not be working as well as many had hoped:

1st 100 days - There are 2.9 million more people unemployed in May than there were unemployed in January. The unemployment rate went from 7.6% to 9.4%. Since May 2008, we have lost 5.5 million jobs.

I too am happy to see the sale of his music hit the roof. I have purchased my part and now I plan on purchasing his music for my children, nieces and nephews who grew up during the 70's. 80's and 90's listening to MJ's music.

Maybe MJ will save the economy.

RIP Michael.

Money doesn’t grow on trees for most of America. We sit down at our kitchen tables and write
out checks to the phone-company, electric company, credit card-company, mortgage-company,
and auto finance company every month. We clip coupons and go to the grocery store every
week to put food in the mouths of our children. This is what our parents did before us.

Goldman and Bank of America run the markets along with Geithner, and beagle boy Ben. There
is no free markets, only welfare capitalism and socialism for capitalism.

Glad sales are up.
His heirs can use the money to pay off the $400 Million debt.

"The self-proclaimed "king of pop""

I am sick of moniker. It's clearly a meant to denigrate MJ's accomplishments. He did not make himself the KING OF POP - We did!

The media has used this for years - now you retire it and give Mr. Jackson his due respect as the global KING OF POP.

The banks that are "too big to fail" are too risky to break apart or put into receivership.
Yet, banks should not expect to receive money. Precisely as they have in the past - what malarky!

Individuals that have loans should be accountable. But, not banks that get their debts paid or forgiven by the government.

No regulations are proposed to break these institutions up so they're no longer too big to fail - just more watching them - but, wasn't Geithner the guy watching them before as head of the NY Fed? Doubletalk and lies.

Obama has no intention of installing meaningful controls. He's just giving bankers full control. Replace Obama at the next opportunity.

he's right: http://makeitbrief.com/avupq why aren't our voices being herd by Washington?

I'm so glad MJ's music is topping the charts! Maybe a new generation will now be exposed to the fantastic music engendered by Michael. He was an entertainer and performer without equal!
