Obama Calls Jackson Entertainment Icon

"I'm glad to see that he is being remembered primarily for the great joy that he brought to a lot of people through his extraordinary gifts as an entertainer," Obama said in an AP interview Thursday. The President said he didn't think it was controversial that he didn't issue a formal public statement upon Jackson's death and said he knew "a lot of people in the black community" and hadn't heard that they were dissatisfied with his response. "I still have all his stuff on my iPod," Obama said of the singer's music. "I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. His brilliance as a performer also was paired with a tragic and in many ways, sad personal life." -- Associated Press, 2:40 ET July 2

DEA Begins Investigation Into Death

In a replay of the Anna Nicole Smith case, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency has begun looking into the death of Michael Jackson because of the reports of drug and medication abuse, an agency spokesman confirmed to TheWrap. "We routinely offer assistance to any agency regarding the Federal Controlled Substance Act," the spokesperson said -- but refused any further comment. Indeed, it is not uncommon for the DEA and the LAPD to work together in drug cases -- the DEA would be looking into the doctors who prescribed controlled medications, how much was supplied and the sources.
