Obama Sends His Condolences To Heavy D's Funeral
This is lovely.
Heavy D's funeral took place today in Mount Vernon, NY, and President Barack Obama took the time to send his condolences in the following letter, which was read by Rev. Al Sharpton at the service:
"We extend our heartfelt condolences at this difficult time. He will be remembered for his infectious optimism and many contributions to American music. Please know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers."
Thanks for the kind words, Obama! We're sure Heavy D's family and loved ones appreciate it.
Rest well, Heavy.

When Twilight & True Blood Collide!
Ashton Kutcher Claims He Couldn't Be With a Woman Who "Needed to Change Me"
"Lovely"…..are you kidding me. Pleeze
But not a word about the riots going on here….he's too busy globe trotting
RIP Mr D.
With that being said, doesn't our President have bigger issues to deal with? He seems way too wrapped up in the celebrity world for my comfort.
OBAMA IS SUCH A TOOL. IF HEAVY D WAS A WHITE RAPPER HE WOULDNT BE WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY BY MAKING THIS LAME ANNOUNCEMENT. DOESNT HE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH THAN JUST HAS-BEEN BLACK ARTIST ISSUES??? I HIGHLY DOUBT CLINTON OR EVEN BUSH WOULD EVEN SPEND AN IOTA OF TIME ON THIS DUDE. HEAVY D NEEDED TO LOSE AT LEAST 100-150 LBS. THAT'S WHAT KILLED HIM. POINT BLANK, PERIOD.
you lousey stinking, freeloading POS!!! sooo sick of this fame whore mentality. oooooo look at me im the 1st black prez and gotta put my ugly mug in every tabloid. baaarf! lock urself in that stupid oval office with your worthless cronies and dont come out til you fix this train wreck. jobs jobs jobs!! how hard of a concept is it to grasp moron?!
Re: reply to this – pretty sure saying a few words doesnt exactly take up a ton of time
How about a letter of condolence
to the family of Brian Terry, the border patrol guard, shot a killed with the weapons that Obama & Holder let get into the hands of Mexican drug bandits ????????????
You keep sucking up to Rev AL , and his followers,because come next Nov, they will be all you have
you're kidding, right? it's not like Heavy D was Michael Jackson for crying out loud - lame.
Re: MR Pete – I couldn't have said it better. He doesn't say a word about a Border Patrol who is gunned down, but he is sending condolences to a rapper? This moron is so out of touch with America. There are riots in the streets by the liberal loons, people are losing their homes, Americans need jobs, people are going to bed hungry and he is jetting around the world with that Amazon wife of his and sending condolences to rappers.
Start packing your bags you big loser! You will be unemployed soon! Just not soon enough for the majority of us!
lol you people are all tools….Obama can send his condolences to who he darn well pleases. So you people need to just shut up, oh, and you better believe he'll be our next president, who else do you people have, rick Santorum lol.
Re: gregoryschmo – I'm looking at a much bigger picture. I want a real President, not some fan girl.
Re: matusadona – Yes he can.. On his own time. Rest assure America will not make the same mistake twice. Don't worry though! He'll have plenty of time to do what he does best. NOTHING. =-)
Nice!
