evening everyone. just got back from ghana today. Ghana is a fantastic country to visit. The people are very friendly, and a lot of good things are happening there. i was surprised at how many people recognized me. It turns out CNN is very popular there, though a few people did call me Larry King.

Evening Anderson and everyone. Good to see your eye is better Anderson.

Welcome back Anderson!

Evening, Anderson (or Larry King?) ... lol...!

Evening, 360 team and friends!

Hello AC!

Helloooo Anderson, Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!

Good Monday evening, everyone.

Anderson....great to have you back tonight. Our inquiring minds want to know if you have fully recovered from the spider attack over the weekend?

Really looking forward to your interview with President Obama tonight and tomorrow night.

Hi Anderson.

Hi bloggers.

Hi Anderson, you are in New york city so I trully wish you are safe. And wish your show today is safe also!

An.

LOL! Oh, High Larry!

Hey peeps!

Hopefully yer weekend was swell!

You sorta kinda look like Mr. King.

Good evening Anderson, 360 team, all bloggers. Happy Monday. Am listening with interest to the President's remarks

Good evening Anderson! Welcome back! Enjoying your interview with President Obama. Of course the people of Ghana know who you are Anderson! I wouldn't call you Larry King though!

Welcome back, nice to see you!

Helloooo Anderson, Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
Hope you have a great weekend!!!!!! Happy Monday!
Welcome back Anderson!!!!! I am glad see you tonight!!! Wow, That's so scary spider bitten your left eye.

Anderson,

Welcome back. From your "tweets" and blog it sounds like you had an enjoyable trip (minus one spider bite.)

"... though a few people did call me Larry King" - Were you wearing suspenders? -

Looking forward to tonight's show and your upcoming special.

Good evening, everyone. Glad to see the eye wasn't seriously injured, Anderson... I hate spiders. *shivers at thought*

Enjoying this interview. It's nice to have a President who is so accessible. Such a shift from past precedent.

Hello everyone.

Evening, Anderson!

People called you Lary King?
That must have been funny!

Evening, David (Indiana), 360 team and friends!

Anderson, were you told there were questions you could not ask the President?

Larry King? At least if they mistake you for someone its for CNN royalty!! Glad you are back safely and I bet you are jet lagged!

Anderson,
Do you ever get nervous interviewing the President? You certainly appear calm, professional, but you do ask the tough questions. Great interview, as expected!

Good to have you back Anderson

LOL note on your Larry King reference.

Good evening, Anderson and fellow bloggers! Glad to see your eye is better.

Fabulous coverage and I'm looking forward to see more.

Loved the shot of President Obama dancing - the little behind the scenes moments give us an insight to our president as a family man...

Okay, so people have called AC, Larry King....maybe it's the picnic shirt???

Welcome back, Anderson.
Hi all.

Welcome home, Anderson. Good to have you back. Thank you for asking the DADT question; it's an important one. Keep the pressure on.

Hey Anderson,

I'm so happy you had a nice time in Ghana. I'm Ghanaian and the general consensus with everyone in my family in NY is that CNN did a FANTASTIC job of following the president's trip and broadcasting everything live. We were glued to the TV all day. I'm watching your interview now, and very excited to hear more. Thanks again.

P.S. CNN is very popular in Ghana. When I lived with my grandparents there, that was all my grandpa watched.

Good evenng larry oops I mean Anderson! Some spiders are venomous you daring anchor! Be careful!

Anderson, at least no one called you John McEnroe

How did President Obama teach his daughters about the profound and sad meaning of the Castle? That moment must have been both a powerful lesson of human cruelty as well as a moment of recognition on how far we've come as a society and how far we have yet to go.

Hi Anderson
Welcome Back Home I don't know why they would call you Larry King ?

Btw How is your eye feeling ?

Greetings to All! Good questions for our president .He seems to be calmer and positive about the slow changes in the state of the economy.I'll see this as confidence and I'll have confidence in him.

Welcome back AC! Sorry you couldn't stay the rest of the week.

President Obama has been a sensible and responsible person. So it is admired.

good evening Anderson.
nice to see you at studio.welcome back.
nice travel. I've been looking forward to watch program tonite.

Hi everyone! Good evening, Anderson! Glad to have you back. I'm looking forward to your interview with the president. What an experience! I wonder if you are able to do other project's while in Ghana- an interesting country!

You are a popular person, Anderson. A lot of people like you and your work

Great pics of the Africa and the history behind the pain and suffering that went on there it's so sad that they treatd poeple of clor like this .

Human cruelty. There is a lot of that going on, unfortunately

Hey Anderson, did you enjoy your trip to Africa?was is hot there?

Anderson,
Hi! I'm glad you made it back safely from Ghana. It's great to see the much anticipated interview.

Welcome back, Anderson. I hope my motherland treated very well.

A statement from La Toya is strong and impressive!

Why is she so sure? Accusing someone is something complicated (without evidence).

The President seems so down to earth dancing with his kids how sweet !

hahahhaa! People calling you Larry King? I wonder what you would look like wearing LK outfit?

way to go Anderson asking the prez about Gay issues but don't stop there, keep up the pressure! U Rok

Anderson,
just got back from Ghana today? You must be jetlagged but there you are at the CNN desk!

A spider bite – ouch. What kind of spider? Thanks for your coverage of the president in Africa.

The quesations on the economy Pres Obama did not make this a disater the Bush admin did that he is cleaning up thier mess .

Good evening Anderson and all! Haven't blogged in a while! I'm already loving this interview with the President!

Anderson, don't feel too bad about being called Larry King....after all anything is better than John McEnroe!

Evening Anderson, Erica, Isabel, everyone. Enjoyed seeing your reports from Ghana on Friday and Anderson and looking forward to seeing your interview with President Obama tonight.

Good tough question about employment numbers Anderson, but the President's response about the debt caused by the recession seems to say the impact of the financial crisis? was underestimated.

I always wonder if solar, particularly concentrated solar can be used in developing countries.

Hi Anderson,
I'm glad u get to show the positives about Africa. CNN is popular in Ghana but calling u Larry was hilarious.
Keep the good job.

loved the picture gallery of Anderson's trip. one picture with Obama and AC walking around the slave holding place was especially great. Both were looking out into the distance.....very epic....

Anderson did you try any local dishes?

Anderson, I thought you let the President off the hook too easy on the stimulus question.

Pushing the stimulus funds out within the first six months would have guaranteed the need for future stimulus. This economy has to be walked back slowly, we can't just pick it up and carry it back to where we need it to be.

Hi Anderson,

I am a Ghanaian living in Maryland, and watched the entire Ghana visit. I must say that I'm enjoying your coverage, and hope that you do more shows on Ghana, in the near future. My country has a lot of hidden gems that should be highlighted.

Hi everyone, this is my first time here, I love Ac 360

Anderson,
Wow, That’s so scary spider bitten your left eye. Is that bother your eye? I hope you are feeling better soon!

You guys always show remote aress when showing Africa. Anderson when in Ghana did you or did you not see nice places? I think you should also show the nice areas. The way Africa is presented sometimes is very annoying

The tough qustions are dificult to ask but you always do great Anderson
So many things to ask the list must run on forever.

Awesome interview with Obama re: AA experience at the castle. Very powerful that an AA POTUS is there. Makes me feel so proud of our country.

Anderson, I am a Ghanaian in NY. I was very excited prz Obama went to Ghana, I believe going to the castle with his family especially Michele and her mum is the best gift he could ever give to this family who have African descent.

Hi Eleanor =)

Your warm hello, a visit from my neighbor w/ 3 grandkids and another elderly neightbor w/ her lil dog made my day!

I have been waiting for the days to past to hurry up and get to Monday.
I LOVE ANDERSON COOPER
Looking at this interview in the beginning, I was thinking to myself, two of the most handsome men in Americal.
Just wanted to say so far Anderson good questions, especially regarding don't ask, don't tell. Great show so far.

anderson , i hope you really loved ghana...as a ghanaian i am very proud. and about people calling u larry king..i really don't know where they r getting that from..keep up the good work

What an experience for the Obama children!

Anderson, thanks so much for your interview with the President. I've already gotten more insight with what I've seen! Oh, and I guess being called John McEnroe doesn't seem that bad anymore, haha.

Good Evening,

So far, I find this interview very interesting. What were the locals reactions to President Obama visiting while he was in Ghana, if you know?

Good Evening Everyone!

I have been to Cape Coast Castle. It is an awsome experience to see the"door of no return". Very powerful!!!!

As a Ghanaian graduate student in America, I feel grateful of the President's visit to my country. Above all i appreciate his sensitivity to the plight of Africans and the obstacles that block our development as a people. I shall be happier to see a greater sensitivity from American Academic Institutions in opening up more opportunities for Africans to study and go back to manage our societies in a more successful way. I think the President has referred to that in one of his comments.

Wow, Anderson is asking the tough questions - but President Obama is giving good, thoughtful answers -

On DADT - had a feeling he was working on this behind the scenes - he strikes me as a person to keep as many of his promises as possible - and to do things the "right way" - rather than a band-aid fix that the next president can come along and rip off. Congressional acts are much harder to reverse than executive orders.

I want to know why President went to Cape Coast castle instead of Elmina castle. the Elmina castle is 2x bigger too

Was this house @Cape Coast Castle known as the house of no return

Good evening Anderson. I am glad you enjoyed your trip to my homeland. Yep. CNN is very popular in Ghana. I am actually impressed with the positive natire of the footage. Glad to have you back.
BTW... Erica took good care of the AC360 family while you were away.

@ Anderson

you could say that you are a newer version of
Larry King, walking to have the experience him!

I love (hate) the way the GOP is acting like President Obama created this mess.

Anderson:

What is the one question you would have definitely asked the President of Ghana had there been an interview arranged?

I am glad Obama visit Africa and he took his family. I would like to visit Africa oneday

Hi Anderson, I am watching tonight and reading the blog....just want to tell you how nice you fit in the outside world..you seem to come alive when your "out and about" .. your field reporting is great..you just seem to ask the questions I would ask....thanks for that and welcome back....

hi Larry lol.Anderson I'm from Ghana and I'm glad u had fun there.its a really great country and nice people.Please post us more pictures about your trip as its been a while since I've been home.

The economy is getting better i hope Pres Obama has so much to handle he gets flack all the time .

Anderson thank you for this amazing interview and tour.
Can't wait to see the special.

Hi Anderson and Erica,
ANDERSON It was great that you accompanied the president
on this journey to Ghana. But this story is little touching for me.

starting this after noon on face book with with ppl acting ignorant.

I am writing to say thanks to C N N for their coverage to President Obamas visit to Ghana.Good Job well Done

Good evening Anderson

nice pictures!!!

Larry King? well you do such a good job that they really can't tell the difference.

I think that it is incredible that the President shared this experience with his kids. Such a life-changing experience for those girls! Surely one they will never forget!...

My big question, what was it like to walk through the 'door of no return' with President, Anderson? It seems incredible!

Welcome back. Yes Ghana is a great country, I had the pleasure of visiting myself last winter and felt an obligation to visit both CapeCoast and the Elmina castle. As an African-American it was not only a sense of where I came from but also me being able to come back and tell a story. Thanks to both you and of cos Mr. President for sharing.

Anderson What do you eat there ? How was the weather ?

Anderson,
That is really funny!!! people called you, Larry King!!! LOL!!! I think I am wondering maybe we can get the shot! LOL!

President Obama is speaking as if slavery was a white/black thing. It seems to be rarely mentioned that it was blacks who enslaved other blacks and sold them to whites. Slavery was a custom in Africa before Europeans arrived.

AC when ya make it Biltmore House, give us a holler.

Hightower and Sparkle love your work!

Hi Anderson,
good to have you back. Great interview.... It is so good to see 2 intelligent people having this great conversation.

Hi Anderson,
Welcome back from Ghana. Hope you enjoyed your trip. I have been waiting patiently for your special. I am originally from Ghana and thanks for portraying a positive image of Ghana. There are a lot of good things going on in Africa and sometimes bad things tend to overshadow the good.

The Cape Coast Castle is a place every person should visit. I know the president and his family has a learned a lot out of this trip to Ghana.

I like you Anderson, but I thought you should have also taken some shots of some of the developed places in Ghana. That would have been cool.

HI Anderson,I am extremely happy that apart from what you see and hear from t.v and magazines(majority of the the time negative news), that you have found Ghana my country to be a fantastic place to be.. hopefully President Obama and you will change the views of those who may have had different views of Africa...can't wait to see the entire interview

Such an interesting perspective by Obama on teaching his children about slavery. He's obviously an excellent parent, and it shows in his children's mature demeanor.

So many just toss individuals into "victim/victimizer" categories without studying the intricacies of the situation. If we don't fully comprehend the tragedies of the past, we're often doomed to repeat them in some form.

Well come back from Ghana or should I say Africa as the West lumps all

Its a true statement that the capacity for cruelty still does exist, look at how certain people and animals are treated by humans. It needs to change. We are in the 21st century and you would think that all of that has stopped by now.

Going through that castle would be very emotional for anyone. Ive always wanted to visit Africa and Ghana is one of the places Ive wanted to visit, Egypt is my number one.

Great interview and history lesson Coop. Aw, you always do it right!
Congrats!

How else could they rejuvintae the economy by putting money into it and creating jobs that were lost and it was a no win situation .

I just got a new job so maybe luck is changing

We would love to see you travel and do what you do best, Anderson. That is bringing us very important and interesting news. Plus funny things that happen along the way- Bug bite? only you....

I love the fact that you ask very straightforward questions- no holding back! You and your crew ROCK!

cool interview. it almost seemed like a chat with a buddy. great to see the president more unguarded than usual.

Even POTUS looks up to ya AC! we all know he watches 360 in secret....

I think it's wonderful that this story and experience is being addressed. I am happy to know President Obama has visited Ghana. I hope that one day he will be able to visit an amazing fort and monument of history. The Citadel in Cap-Haitian, Haiti. Thanks for letting me share.

Interesting the the President said banks were coming back faster than expected. They were bailed out by TARP under Bush, not Obama.

Anderson,

Your eyes were perfect … after all, the spider was not so bad like that! lol…

Sorry to hear about the spider bite. Hope you're feeling better now.

Anderson you represent gray well keep up the wisdom in your reporting

That seems to be a educational and fun trip.

Anderson you must be tired and jet lagged I don't know how you do this.

Great blog too on Africa

Anderson, the Presidents joke about having you as role model was very funny. I can't believe there wasn't any follow-up after that clip. That was totally hilarious.

President Obama has a great opportunity to change the politics in Africa. As he appeals to the politicians and the masses he needs to also to appeal to the western governments who incite the masses to undermine the heads of states that do not toe the line of their policies. I am from Kenya the western countries played at least 30% part because they were not doing good business with President Kibaki's administration. But the solutions are gonna have to be brewed in Africa.

hello everyone, anderson – did you feel the president connecting with his roots while in africa?

Do the Congress and the Obama Administration consider opinions of military personnel on the "Don't Ask, don't tell" policy?

Anderson you must be proud of yourself, first Larry King and now Role model for President !

the interview is very interesting and now I would love to visit Ghana

Anderson,
I love your interview our president Obama for best question in Ghana! Nice pictures of Ghana!! Thanks for taking many pictures in Ghana!

Hi Anderson,
I am watching your interview as i type this. I am Ghanaian. Yes we are very friendly ,lovely people and so is the rest of Africa actually. Unfortunately not many people in America know that. Too bad for them. I wish you would show a lot more parts of the country Ghana and not just the rather funny looking places, which makes the rest of the world think there is nothing but just poverty in Ghana and Africa. lol. I truly admire you though, i must say. Thought i would also share the fact that CNN is not only popular in Ghana, its part of our culture too. Remember the world is a global village now,lol. Take care and hope to hear from you after you read this. I am in new jersey at the moment.

I'm very proud of how far we humans ,as a race,have come in the last few hundred years.Yes we still have a long way to go before we are all treated equally.I do think that the global consciousness is growing toward encompassing all peoples and their beliefs.We can all live as one.

AC, I heard the president tried some of our local dishes. Did u get the chance to ask him about it?

Thank you AC from bringing Africa and Ghana to America. As a Ghanaian born living in Canada, you have no idea how thril I was to see Ghana's name mentioned on a main stream media. I believe in the power of the media but for years that I've been living in Canada, and in North America for that matter, issues that concerns Africans and Ghanaians for that matter has been ignored. Im glad you have atleast shown the innitiative to bring CONCERNS of Africans to the people in America. Im extremely proud of the worlds President Obama for his visit and recognition of Africans. AC we will like to see more shows about Africans. Thank you

Just saw your photos in Ghana. Love...love... love them! I'm so jealous!

I'm kinda hoping that Dick Cheney has to testify....he's overdue for a hearing.....

Ouch, always works for me.

I am of Ghanaian heritage and have visited the slave castles. It is truly an unforgettable experience. I am proud as an Africian-American that Obama and the First Family chose Ghana to visit with Anderson Cooper. Like they say in Ghana "Sankofa" (go back and take). I am glad you are sharing this experience with us back in the States.

First and foremost, I have to say that it should be bilaterally hilarious that you were mistaken for Larry King! He's only interviewed every influence under the sun, so I'm sure you took it as a compliment to be mixed-up with someone of such venerability. Of course, I'm a bigger fan of Anderson, haha. And like Rikki from Fargo, North Dakota said, anything's better than another John McEnroe mistake!

I love the interview so far! I have to thank you for mentioning the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. I'm happy to see that Obama is looking to revoke blatant discrimination, and that he's not afraid to touch on it (nor are you, Anderson).

hi Anderson. Good job with the interview. I like the part were the President refer to your gray hair. LOL. Anyway welcome back.

@ David, Indiana

Economists agree with the steps needed to boost economic activity and the policies adopted so far, will help provide the basis for recovery in the second half, but for people in the general vision of the future is so nebulous.

The expectation of waiting for results only in the second half is great! If we follow the indices, then ... the unemployment rate continues to accelerate...

PS. I hope everything is well! I was feeling your absence last week

LaToya was right on in her assessment of her brother's death! She said exactly what we are all thinking probably happened!

Good interview Anderson. I like that it covered a wide range of topics.

I agree with Naa, Erica did a wonderful job.

" It seems to be rarely mentioned that it was blacks who enslaved other blacks and sold them to whites."

Mike, Syracuse, NY, I agree, that is rarely mentioned, but any student of world history knows that and knows that virtually every country in the world has practiced slavery. Africans were not the only people to be enslaved.

@ Opi – I agree with you. Usually we see only the bad images and hear about the bad things. There are many success stories in Africa, but unfortunately they think positive stories are not worth mentioning.

AC,
I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Ghana.Being a Ghanaian myself and having visited the Cape Coast Castle, I feel that African Americans and anyone for that matter should take an interest in the history of slavery . It is humbling to know that our daily struggles are not comparable to the challenges the slaves faced. We should never take freedom for granted.

Yvonne,

Great interview Andersonm very moving! Obama get's Africa.
Someone told me you can leave Africa, but it will never leave you.
Having done medical work in northern Ghana the past 2 years, I was so envious of you being there! Can totally relate to the bug bites,

From the report and interview it seems like Ghana is a warm country, easy to be amazed by the history, the scenery and the people.

My heart goes out to those kids that now have to face life without their mom and dad! I couldn't believe it when I heard! I really hope they catch all who are responsible for this atrocity!

Looks like President Obama and Anderson Cooper will have "twin hair" within a few months.

Wonderful coverage on President Obama's visit to Ghana. Your interview and the President's comments gives me very important insights into our new president. Great Job, Anderson Cooper!

These poor kids!

People all around definitely watch CNN though CNN international is more popular. We want to see more positive things about Africa and Ghana and not necessarily the all- the times same pictures of pictures in the market or on the depraved neighborhoods of the City.

It is time

I was very glad it was you Anderson Cooper who was able to get this interview, I feel like so close in age you and the Pres can really relate. You are the next Super Super Star of CNN.

Anderson, I'm one of those white Americans the President referred to who have been touched by the Cape Coast Castle. I've traveled to Ghana 5 times to do volunteer work at a school near Kakum National Park which is near Cape Coast. The castle is a very moving experience. Great country, great reporting. Hope you enjoyed the FuFu.

Anderson

First--Let me say that I LOVE your show. You are to news what Chris Berman is to sports!

Second-–Of the stories that you have covered, which made the biggest impression on you? (whether sad, exciting, happy, etc)

Thanks!

Hi Anderson welcome back from Africa. I am glad you and the President had a chance to see Ghana and visit the slave castle. I have a foundation in Ghana and also twice visited the Cape Coast slave castle and was literally moved to tears after my tour of the dungeon and surrounding facilities. The very smell of the castle speaks about the horrible things that went on there with our ancestors.

Anderson, while in Nigeria I visited one of the first slave ports called Badagry one of the first slave ports in Africa, it's called 'the point of no return" the slaves were led to a ship and was given water from a well which they believed the water erased their memory of their homeland.

great show

Very fortunate that the two victims had video cameras surrounding their homes. I couldn't imagine how horrid this case would be if we had to rely solely on the children for information.

How horrible the killing of that couple in Florida! What happens to those special needs children this couple adopted?

HI aC

Anderson, I have to admit, Erica did a great job in your absence. We love her. . . and you too of course.
Way to go Erica!

Thanks for the coverage on the Florida murders. It is hard to imagine how anyone could do such a thing. My thoughts are with the children.

Good evening Anderson and everyone.

Glad to see you back safely with looking good eye lid.
It also did not look so bad in your interview.
Great job with President Obama.

People there calling you Larry King is funny.
Wonder if anyone would call Larry King, Anderson, too.

Latoya is speaking the truth she is saying it for her brother .

Great pictures from Ghana. Anderson, did you make any story about the castle. I mean an extensive story other than the snippet you have shown.

Hi AC! I'm glad you were able to visit Ghana. You really love to visit Africa, and your stories are always enlightening.

i am totally overwhelmed by this program tonight. Seeing and hearing the president talk about his visit to Africa, evokes incredible pride. what country in the world would have such a story to tell? America descended to the lowest depths with a slavery system that cruelly scarred generations of people. we've come a long way since then. thank God for that. Thank you CNN and Anderson Cooper for your remarkable coverage.

@Isabel, yes things are ok now, and I was feeling your absence too, or I was feeling absent.

It is funny that people called you Larry King Anderson.

A very thoughtful intvw at Cape Coast Castle. I thought President's comment about widening the lense to look at injustice in other areas a strong way continue to look at repression. Tough also to be constantly looking at one's own behavior to see how it impacts others.

I cannot begin to comprehend the motive behind or the mental state of person(s) responsible for this tragedy. But it is my hope the justice comes swiftly!!

In my country every soda is called coke, every hot beverage is called tea so its not surprising that every CNN anchor is Larry King . On a more serious note, welcome back and I hope you had a good stay in Gh. Akwaaba!

As of date, the physician who was last with Michael Jackson has yet to return any of the families calls. Nothing can bring Michael Jackson back, but for those who loved him, for his fans, his friends, his loved ones, for many of us, peace may not come until the actual facts are made known and any and all persons, if involved, or even partly responsible for his death are brought to justice!

Love the show. The only news I need! Thanks,
MJ

Anderson,
Did you get to talk with local Ghanian politicians to ascertain the key to road to a second world nation. Politician like JJ Rawlings?

Wow. This Florida case is something. What in the world happened? 8 people almost professionally attack and kill this couple. Why? What could they take in 4 minutes? How did they think they could get away with this? If they were familiar with the property, surely they knew there were security cameras. Hmmm.

Why would anyone want to kill two people who adopt special needs kids? I feel for those kids and hope the police solve this really soon.

Hi Anderson, Erica & team 360.
Hellow fellow bloggers. Just coming so will see the interview next hour.

We are absolutely puzzled" with this couples murder. We truly hope that the family will be able to keep the children together some how.

PS Loved the Larry King remarks

Every President ages in office. Does anyone remember what Jimmy Carter said? He said something like if you knew what I knew you would be very frightened!

What kind if dirt bag would kill people who do good?

The murders of the Florida couple is such a tragedy. They were two special people who chose to help special children. Now those children no longer have parents. So unfair.......and hopefully justice will be served.

mjj was murdered la toya finally got something right.

The Fla couple were supposed to be very well liked. Why would a group of men kill a couple taking care of special needs kids? It is sick.

That's quite the statement to make for LaToya Jackson. I wonder if her siblings agree. It must be extremely painful to think your brother was murdered. I hope the truth will come to light soon.

Killing innocent people, this is a sad event. The family will be in our prayers.

I believe in Freedom and Choice!

And Amadou is right, CNN/BBC/SKY News are all very popular in GH. even though we get CNN international. Did not know CNN international broadcast AC360 though. That is awesome.

Wonderful Ghana!!!! A one day trip could never provide how it's history and subsequent experiences of the slave trade have effected/affected and continue to impact not only that nation but those Africans throughout the diaspora.

Anderson, your exchange with President Obama on hair color was priceless - thanks for sharing.

Hi Anderson. Good job as usual. Sorry about your spider experience.
How did you feel walking through those (castle) walls?

When will you do a story on Haiti?

@ Amadou, I agree on the positive stories from Africa. I feel really ignorant about Africa and worry that the negative images become people's full view of Africa. I'd love to see more stories of thriving communities, long-standing traditions, progress and health.

why is everyone saying that sotomyor was overturned by the supreme court 4 of the 9 justuces agreed with her.

Funny things said not only they called you Larry King it must have been those suspenders you were wearing ha!

Did anyone else notice that one of the kids in the Ghana photos was wearing an AIG t-shirt? I just thought that was amusing.

Good evening Anderson!

Good evening bloggers!

For 25 years, I have been telling people about what Ghana is like and it has been difficult for people to believe how beautiful it is there. Anderson, thanks to you and CNN, now people can see it for themselves.

Thanks Anderson!!!!

I really think that Judge Sotomayor will do a fabulous job as a supreme court justice. I hope she flies through these confirmation hearings and will be confirmed!

What a sad story. I do not understand why good people like this couple had to be gone this way. I am concerned about their kids, too. What the poor kids. Thanks for the update, AC360.

You are the class and grace of CNN Thanks Anderson for great job in interview Cnn Rules !

welcome back ...........watching your interview, good repoting.

I don't senators understand the job of a judge. They are so used to putting their own feelings and judgments into what they lobby that they think everyone does it. Sorry to say, but there are some genuine people out there.

@Mike in NYC
President Obama is speaking as if slavery was a white/black thing.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Of course it's not just a black/white thing. Slavery has been going on since the time of Christ. And, it's affected a lot of different races. Obama was referencing the relationship between Africa and America. In that example, it is a black/white thing. Isn't it?

Anderson ~
I'm a huge fan of yours! I am a school teacher and I look forward to watching your program every night. I am highly impressed with your skills as a journalist...you have an impressive ability to dish out questions to the President. This must have been an experience you will never forget...Keep up the great work!

@Mike Syracuse NY, wow, thanks for that observation. yes, and the ancient Greeks had slaves too! that's why Plato and Socrates and the rest had so much leisure time! the system of slavery in the american South has left its insidious scar upon people to this day. you don't have to read Wm Faulkner to know that.

Welcome back Anderson, so glad you had such a wonderful time in Ghana. LOL about being called Larry King yes most of people back in Ghana rely on CNN for information. Most young adults my age practically grew up watching Larry King Live in Ghana so we apologize for the mix up. Thanks for taking the time to do this tour on AC 360.

I hope Sotomayor speaks a little more than she did today so we can hear whats she's really about

Those poor people i pray for thier kids .

Hi Anderson, glad to see you back!

You look a little jet lagged.

Can't wait for more of your interview with President Obama.

Don;t feel bad....I gotta head of gray hair too. At least we still got it!

It'snot like they will refuse Sotomayor of the judge seat.

Is anyone at CNN aware that there has already been a Hispanic Supreme Court Justice?

His name was Benjamin Cardozo.

@David, Indiana

The strong Cape Coast is beautiful.
These images are a real history lesson! Very cool!

what do you think?

Evening Anderson, I' glad you went to Ghana to do a story about cape coast castle, I'm Ghanaian I have live in MD for the over ten year I plan to move back to Ghana soon, Thank for the show

Anderson do you have phobia too about spiders ?

don't worry andreson ...you make grey look good...and you better beleive
that

Great history in Ghana. What remarkable stories and yes, back home for some. That is just how I felt when I went to Italy.

all good wishes to Ms Sonia Sotomayor for tomorrow. hope she bowls everyone over with her intelligence and knowledge of the law.

n my opinion, the discussion is actually on a indication of the President Obama. And more than that: an indication of a minority and of the representative minority that eye that grows visas.

A judge liberal got out and another liberal judge may be replacing it. The play of forces, then, remains.

Good info about your trip to the castle. What did you see in Ghana that impressed you the most regarding infrastructure development?

Justice Sotomayor says her responsibilty is to apply the law but in order to do this she first has to interpret the law. Her background and the environment of her life's experiences always play a role. What is she trying to do? Maybe over simplify the issue?

Larry King oh sorry AC nice see you back from my Home Country, your eye looks good. thanks you silver fox.

That was sweet when Jeffrey Toobin was quoted in those hearings!! Way to go CNN!!

AC, did you learn any of the different Ghanaian dialect? At least you can respond to "eti sen" (how are you) in the twi dialect, right?

I was really happy you went to Africa with President Obama,now you see how the Africans are suffering with bugs–next time please cover your face,i always watch your show.I am an African !

Sotomayor didn't really say much today i hope she gets confirmed and does the right things on the job .

Yes, Sotomayor will get the position after the GOP takes our time and money to stall.

I hope Sonia Sotomayor will confirm the vote by senators and congress. I am waiting to see if she will confirm anytime.

I wonder if latoya jackson knows what she really is talking about?

I gotta agree with Jeff Toobin, Judge Sotomayor will do just fine! The Senator couldn't have picked a better legal commentator to quote!

Jeffrey Toobin is great. I have "The Nine" sitting on my shelf...maybe I should read it!

Anderson, on the creepy crawly topic, do you pack Benadryl with you for these things or if you have an allergic reaction to anything?

Good evening Anderson. Thanks for the coverage of the President in Africa. I knew we could count on your excellent reporting. My only issue, is the fact that you only show images of an impoverished Ghana –what about the other side of the coin? There is so much wealth in Africa, that folk in the West need to be aware of.

Keep doing what you do!

Supreme Court approving another Justice – tear them down, pick them apart, make them sweat and if not too many skeleton's fall out the closet, welcome them aboard. It's like hazing. You have to suffer before you can become part of the "brotherhood".

Would the Senator refer to a man "having a meltdown"?

I thought Judge Sotamayor presented well today. And, one of the Senators pretty bluntly stated that this nomination has more to do with politics than qualifications.

We're impressed that CNN Jeffrey Toobin was mentioned.

@Chris Sosa Boston MA great opinion and comment! thank you.

AC, very disturbing story about the couple who was murdered in Pensacola, FL and left behind 16 kids, god bless them all.

I am glad you wrote about your trip in Ghana.

It is very interesting.

You are so not Larry King.

I saw the webcam. Commercial time is like make-up time XD

Jeffrey Toobin is a wonderful analyst. I'm also a bit confused on where to stand on the "wise Latina" comment by Sotomayor, as a Latino immigrant myself. I think the comment ins a little bit uncalled for, and unwise, but of course, the overreactions are imminent. It's a shame that any harmless words can be taken and used against you. Welcome to the world of politics, unfortunately.

Yeah, Jeff Toobin!! Love that Sheldon Whitehouse quoted you at the hearings today!!

Re same-sex marriage - won't it be a little harder for Republican's to push on this matter given ex-VP Cheney's recent comments on this subject? Just curious....

Another confirmation hearing, another reason why Jeffrey Toobin is redonkulously awesome.

Great interview with our president. Its great to see the family side of his life. I also enjoyed the historical detail. I think we should all take an interest in the history and significance slavery has had on Africa and the US.

As an American who has lived and worked in Africa for 25 years I would like to say how long overdue it is that America enter true partnership with African nations. President Obama has been embraced by Africans and has a unique opportunity to influence the future of their continent. Ghana represents an excellent first step forward. Giant steps remain to be taken in Congo, Sudan and Zimbabwe.

you know the Jackson case can take a really wild turn if what Latoya says comes out to be true

It's like you take us all on the journey with you Anderson when describing the history of Africa and it brings it to life .I can't believe all that happened there what the slaves went through.

Happy to see you back on the "beat", Anderson. Would love to hear your insightful analysis of Ghana and its people and your experience there, Or did I already miss that tonight?

Everyone can rule according to their own life experiences except for jury duties.

Hi Anderson,
Nice to see you back from Ghana. Really liked the pictures and blog.

A great interview with President Obama. I like that he made it a family affair with his daughters. A trip they will remember well.

I have a really hard time believing anything that comes out of La Toya Jackson's mouth. It just seems like some of the siblings and family members say things just to be in the spotlight.

Its not that I'm skeptical of the possibility that there WAS foul-play in regards to Michael Jackson's death, but when it comes out like this its hard to swallow.

@Anderson what languges do you speak ? Do you know African ?

Hi Anderson,
Thank you for doing a great job in covering Pres Obama in Ghana. I'm Ghanaian and I was wondering if you had a chance to visit the beautiful neighborhoods in Accra to see the fine Real Estate we have. It'll be informative to showcase these beautiful buildings including our world class hotels in addition to the fishing villages and the not-so developed areas. That will be balanced reporting. Keep up the good work.

@ Randi – reg. your tweet earlier: feel better!!!!

Ok, Debbie Rowe had nothing to do with these kids their entire lives? And now she wants to step up and play mommy? I think she is mostly looking for money!

I am looking forward for your interview with the president.

Anderson*
Wow! Great show, very nice interview, the pictures on your site are great. Super job as usual.
Wow friend, just getting back home today and on air tonight, you must be exhausted and have some major jet- lag. As soon as you get home you should get some major Zzzzzzzzzzzzz's and do not set your alarm clock for tomorrow.
Great show can't wait to see tomorrows segment. Have a restful night!

our President is such an admirable person, all americans should be proud that he represents us. but wait, not all do. i know, most of them seem to be on the Far Right! they simply cannot begrduge themselves to even be kind to him/ they despise him so much. i know because i have heard the comments. their greatest nightmare has come true, and they feel their world is being threatened from all sides. now i know the meaning "righty tighty, lefty loosey"

Anderson, Ghana Loves you. Thanks for the visit.

My thoughts are with Supreme Court Nominee Judge Sonya Sotomayor.
Anderson I find that with the election of Pres Obama( the highest position in the country) and this nomination, I find the hatred and bias (racist if thats what you want to call it) come out on blogs all over the internet. Are people so afraid to have minorities in important and top positions without hatred and fear coming into play.
I wish and had hoped that they could reflect on this woman great great history as a judge over the last 18 yrs and not as a minority, but alas that won't be the case.

She never wanted children and now changed your mind?
Absurd! Unbelievable!

Moneeeey!

hi Anderson, how will you sum up your overall visit to Ghana

What is LaToya famous for, actually?

LaToya is looking for her 15 minutes.

Debbie rowe needs to think of the best interest of the children. They have just lost their father. Katherine Jackson is the best guardian for the kids and should be given full custody.

Debbie Row...money is the mother motivater...shame...shame

30 or 40 xanax a night? There is a problem here, ya think?

Poor MJ, who knows if MJ was killed I just feel that the kids are going to grow up without the person that was raising them!!!

@ Vicki "In that example, it is a black/white thing. Isn’t it?"

Not entirely, since it was blacks who sold other blacks to whites. Aren't the enslavers as guilty as the eventual slave owners? Yet you never hear black leadership mentioning those who turned on their own race, just whites. It helps perpetuate tension between whites and blacks to only tell half the story.

Concerning Ms. Mayor; All some people do (mostly Republicans) do is criticise, condem and complain. How can those people find fault with someone who is clearly more intelligent and respected in her field than they are!

She never wanted children and now changed your mind?
Absurd! Unbelievable!

Anderson,
I've been looking forward to this interview for the past week because it draws attention to an extraordinary country poised to socially and economically take off over the next decade. A few more Ghanaian soundbites would go a long way to elevating the country's visibility on the world stage. Look forward to the rest of the interview!

If a few of Michael Jackson's family have said that they believe that there was foul play,then maybe there is some truth to it.We will find out in time what happened to him.This story just keeps getting stranger and stranger.If he was murdered for money.....or for the personal gain of another human being..that would be a tragic end to his life.But the murderers would have karma to face.....

I do hope Michael Jackson's children are being guarded from this media circus and the public on-going battles of family members over the questions of the children's biological parentage.

Jeff Toobin is right on!

M Jackson's family will be fighting for years to come over his fortune. I'm sure they will try to find a way to make money off of his death.

4 of the 9 current supreme court justises agreed with her. why is nobody speaking about the fact that she is not the only judge that felt this was a bad test.

THANK YOU for repeating that these family members are getting paid for these interviews. This is ridiculous.

The conspiracy theories have begun – can they at least wait until the toxicology report is published and then start round 4 of the MJ-bonanza?

Did i get that right? Latoya Jackson is complaining about people profiting off of Michael Jackson during a PAID interview?

Maybe I heard it wrong.

Jeff is right, this sounds ridiculous. Just another attempt to make Jackson look like the victim.

I don't think "murder" as much as just a legal drug addict. There is a lot of terminal uniqueness going on here!

@Minou "What is LaToya famous for, actually?"

Being Michael's sister.

Hi Anderson.

Great interview with President Obama. Can't wait for the next installment.

Ghana has the ability to become a powerful African country. They have newly discovered offshore oil and gas reserves and if used wisely will benefit all Ghanaian people.

I absolutely HEART Anderson Cooper for doing this special! I think its about time that we start paying attention to our (the United States) relationship with African countries. They’re a part of this would too, a huge part, and I feel that they’ve been swept under the rug as nonessential for too long. Thanks, Anderson!

@ Randi Kaye

I followed your twitters today! wish your best!

Seems the interview went well with the President.

Seems there was a lot of emotion for him in going there.

I like his comment on having you as a role model to look upto for going gray...you are the king of the silver foxes...they all want to be you...lol.

Anyway,

I agree with the fact that people used Michael as a puppet for their own gain. Sad, be there for a person to be there...man.

If Debbie Rowe is talking cash buyout for her kids....she will be the world's worst mother!!!!

Every time I see the video of the ambulance taking jackson to hospital. It seems as if they all are moving slow.......

Just give Debbie Rowe a few thousands and she'll leave!!! She said that she had kids for MJ to be a dad, not for her to be a mother!!!!!!

Katherine is too old..too tired..and too much Joe

Rowe could bring up the fact that these children were allowed to be raised by a drug addict even though the family knew about the abuse.

AC I just wanted to ask, what beauty did you find in Ghana?

It was reported that Ms. Rowe gave up her rights to her children and was never a part of their lives. I dont understand why people are even pursuing this "getting back" her children. Get them back? She never had them! She only cares about she will gain from these children. These children should be given their space and be with people who really cares about them.

It is sad think that people are focusing on money issues. These young children just lost their father.

to be continued.....

Money talks. So sad!

No amount of money justify abandonment to even consider a payoff shows that Debbie Rowe does not deserve to have custody of those children

Agree with Mr. Toobin, that What role Michael Jackson played in getting the drugs.

I like Anderson Coopera's tan!!! Anyone agree???

@Minou from NYC and Jo Ann from North Royalton, Ohio: Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I may come off as ignorant for not realizing the giant impact of an icon's death, but I really don't believe that it's appropriate for MJ's affairs to be covered in this segment. That is an issue that can be paid attention to later on, after we discuss what is politically important. I wish a peaceful rest for Michael, but he is unfortunately not going to get that for a while.

Were was the Debbie Row when MJ was getting high? Oh she was spending the money she got now she wants to be involved...give a couple mil and send her off this a sad story

@BettyAnn...I completely agree! You can't inject yourself with a mass of even legal drugs and not expect that one day one of them will kill you.

I tend to lean more toward LaToya wanting to have more than another 15 minutes of fame. Why can't this just be a case that Michael's body gave out from using too many drugs?

I just hope that the Jackson children are placed in the best place possible for their welfare. My thought is that it would NOT be with the matriarch and patriarch of the Jackson clan.

Welcome back, Anderson. Great reporting from Ghana! You should have used your spider bite picture as today's Beat 360 photo. With your hilarious Sylvester Stallone/Matthew Broderick reference, you could have shown up your own staffers! And won a t-shirt.

My only hope for MJ's children is that Joe Jackson is not involved in raising them. MJ made it very clear that was not what he wanted either.

How ironic; A story on the Jackson kids being bought from their biological mother, and a story about a "faraway" land where people are bought and traded like merchandise.

I'm glad Dr Gupta does this report on children being slave laborers. Slavery is going on in 2009 more than ever before in human history.

I don't think we will ever get the real story about MJ's death. LaToya getting paid to speak out seems a bit suspicious.

you see all those children being forced to work so young. Then you look at yourself and remember actually getting away with not doing your chores. They don't have that option.

I do not like Debbie Rowe at all. I am not a mother, but I believe a real and good mother would not want to trade her kids with money. The fact that she did not do whatever she can to see her children in the past shows how care she is to them.

Money is sometime giving to people to "make it happen" just the way one wants it to happen.

I'm interested to hear Sanjay's report - been following his "tweets' - unfortunately I think there is more slavery in our world today than many of us realize. Hopefully, bringing these situations to light will help begin to effect change ....

i really think that Debbie Rowe is looking for something else that has nothing to do with custody.....=/

Welcome Back Mr. Cooper ... Great news coverage in Ghana, as always top notch.

The human slave trade is very much alive. If a region is not a supplier, then it is a receiver. Not to mention that some are both.

Hi Anderson
Great interview of the President. Maybe you should have ask him when he is visiting Indonisia and kenya.
Love from Dominican Republic.

re: Mike, Syracuse- While yes, Africans did sell other Africans into slavery, it was still much more common that Africans were forced into slavery by whites. Also, if those Africans giving up their brethren hadn't gone along with it they probably would have been sent into slavery as well or even killed. Not to mention, Africans' ideas of slavery were different conceptually than Europeans' concepts of slavery during those times.

Modern day slavery in Haiti? With children! Just horrible!

Jeffrey Toobin is my favorite analyst political tonight! I agree with him!

Hi Anderson.

Hi Bloggers.

Hi Anderson, I wish you may know that the distance, time change, weather change are so dangerous while you have to work difficultly! Wish you a trully safe day and night so please take care! And wish to see you again in safety!

An.

I Believe that Michael Jackson was murdered. As far as the kids are concerned Debbie Rowe sold her children not once but twice. Her only interest now is money. She needs to move on with her life.

oh your poor eye! i hope it is ok.

it may not be so much WHO killed Michael Jackson, as WHAT. although when you hear the phrase "worth more dead than alive", i am sure there will continue to be several theories. there will always be some unanswered questions.

as far as wills, and custody rights and such... it is just me, or doesn't signing a legal contract mean anything anymore. there used to be a time when a hand-shake, a gentleman's agreement, was enough. what happened to a person's word of honor. now people seem to contest everything – has it come down to whoever's lawyer has the most tricks up their sleeve?

@Hayden

"How ironic; A story on the Jackson kids being bought from their biological mother, and a story about a “faraway” land where people are bought and traded like merchandise."

Nice observation.

Very interesting piece by Dr. Gupta! I can't believe that in the 21st century that some people believe that slavery is ok....so sad!

@Gady Mayen

I also like... Anderson Coopera’s tan! lol...
And Dr. Gupta is also great, huh?

@Jo Ann, North Royalton, Ohio
'Rowe could bring up the fact that these children were allowed to be raised by a drug addict even though the family knew about the abuse.'

And that wasn't the worst problem as one trial and one payoff proves.

you would think something as big as stopping the slave trade as well as even our Civil War would have made a big enough statement to surrounding countries that slavery is just so morbid.

Really fabulous interview with President Obama.

He seems like such an accessible leader, able to address multiple, complex issues and still having a sense of humor.

Thank you so much for bringing this to us!

I can only hope there is a special place in hell for people who whip and beat children .... How do these people live with themselves?

Maybe we should stop rehashing the slavery of the past and concentrate on present day slavery violations.

The inequality that began with the process of slavery has consequences today. This inequality holds the secular development, concentrates wealth and opportunities in the same hands and condemns the countries to live their potential so minimized.

That's a shame. Wasn't Alaxandre Dumas (Three Musketeers) sold into slavery in Hatti by his father?

0_o how can you not get a hug???

unbelievable....

Haiti ! Finally we something about this impoverished nation! Thank you CNN!
(i was supposed to be there right now to help distribute donated clothing my friend and I collected, but I couldn't go. My friend is there right now)

Sanjay's report is heartbreaking. I would have never figured we would still have forms a slavery in this day and age, especially when it involves children.

I cant believe that there are people who would treat small children and grown children like that.

If Haiti still has slaves why are the people of Haiti always turned away when they seek political freedom in the US...?

Southwest airlines sure has a lot of problems. has anyone noticed?

It is no wonder that many migrate from Haiti risking lives to come to places such as the Bahamas for freedom and a better life.

Let's dance, guys?

i think thats its crazy about how this is still happening now and we have the power to at least help or change that

Sanjay, what a horrible story about the children of Haiti. My children have always been so sheltered. I can't imagine not hugging my children, even at 22.

You would not have a problem with this dance ban, then, eh Anderson.

I'm convinced there's more slave-related activity going on in the world than any of us could imagine.

It is disheartening to hear about the plights of the Haitians. Something must be done about this as soon as possible yet there is no comparison with the West African slaves who were housed in dungeons by the thousands and made to sleep in their own excreta before being shippped to the new world. Those who perished in the middle passages were simply gifted to the fishes. That was pure cruelty.

goodnight, Anderson and 360 crew!

Be safe!

Thank you to the 360 team for doing the story on Haiti. It's been a fantastic show tonight–I am always happy when you do international news; nobody does it better than Anderson Cooper 360. Keep it up.

these restavek children – what can be done to help them? To see this story I feel anger at the people capable of this and compassion for the enslaved – but what good are my feelings. What can we do?

Thank you for a great show Anderson! Once again, awesome interview with President Obama!! Now that the show is over, you may go home, get into your bed and get some well deserved sleep!! Rest easy dear Anderson!

The number of slaves still active, 27 million just blew my mind

Good night Anderson, Randi Kaye (Erica), David G, Ed Henry and my friend twitter/facebook bloggers!!!!!!!
Have a great night and sleep tight everyone!!!!
See you tomorrow night!!!!
Day of the shot with Michael Ware in Iraq the crowd to watch soccer! That's great shot! I love the shot everynight! LOL!

Anderson,
Have a great night, good sleep at home after work!!!! See you tomorrow night!!! Have a plenty sleep!

There you go...Anderson can move to Des Moines, Iowa, then he would never have to come up with an excuse to not dance!

Anderson, Are you surprised that slavery still takes place ? Well I am from Nigeria and I know school-age kids are sent to work as domestic servants for an agreed amount of money for one or two years by the kids' parents.

Good night, Anderson and Fellow Bloggers –

Anderson, glad your back - really enjoyed your show tonight - looking forward to the rest of your interview tomorrow night –

Fellow Bloggers - really enjoyed blogging tonight –

Love Michael Ware's reports from Iraq - he shows a lot of passion in his reporting –

Until tomorrow night..... peace....

Good Night Everyone! Sleep tight! May tomorrow be a better day!

Crikey, Mikey!

The shot is GREAT!

Debbie Rowe once again is trying to make a deal, another pay off, money is the only thing that motivates Debbie Rowe. Those children belong with Katherine Jackson, regardless, that is who MJ chose when the will was made and that is what should be honored. I believe Joe Jackson just needs to go away, and keep his mouth shut.

Welcome back from Ghana. A little surprised at what you have shown thus far on Ghana. I guess the purpose of Obama's trip to Ghana is tourism from your point of view!

Great shot!! Goodnight everyone.Peace to all of you and yours.

Is there no political leverage with all the aid Haiti gets from other countries?

This was the first time we have seen Michael Ware so HAPPY. It was wonderful. He has had to report so much bad, sad, and aweful things in Irag , it is a true pleasure to see him so happy!

see ya peeps!

Hopefully yer Tuesday will go awesomely!!!

Excellent shot of this evening! I do enjoy hearing from Michael Ware...he does have a great smile! What an incredible event!

Good night Anderson, Randi Kaye (feel better soon!) and fellow bloggers!

I love soccer!!!!!!

Soccer is my favorite sport ... could not be different!

Michael Ware! Love that guy!

Good night everyone. Great show tonight.
Take some rest, Anderson. I bet you're still jet lagged.
Sweet dreams all.

Hello Anderson! I do believe that something is quite odd about the death of the great Michael Jackson. Why did Michael remove his lawyers from control over his will and legal issues, and then they were reinstated on June 18-–then Michael died on June 25? Very, very strange!

Good night Mr. King, er, I mean Mr. Cooper. Good night bloggers!

Love Michael Ware and the soccer game!

Great reporting by Sanjay and your expression Anderson priceless

Good night Anderson, Randi , 360 team and sweet tweets!
Happy Monday the 13th! Here's wishing you a lucky evening! XO

As always, good coverage by Michael Ware

Compelling interviews with the president by AC at the castle grounds in africa I thought. And then reports on modern slavery by Dr. Gupta.

Good night, Anderson, Randi and David (Indiana)!
Good night, friends!

A great week for us…

I as a rule agree totally with Jeffery Toubin(sp) but I have a different view of Debbie Rowe than him. Is it so unbelieveable by everyone to think that perhaps she helped MJ get these children for the reasons she has offered. To me what ever she was paid was agreed on my MJ and who can put a dollar amount on those children lives. The only time I recall her coming out of the wood work was when there was a possibility that the Jackson family could take over custody of those children if he went to jail. Does anyone know FOR SURE if she received any money at that time? or if she has now? I think she is the only one that can keep those children out of the clutches of that disfunctional family and away from that monster Joe . I don't think that she wants to raise them but she is definatly looking out for them as they have no one else.. The children deserve to know her so they can then make up their own minds. They won't be children forever.

Not only was it nice to see Michael Ware smiling; it was nice to see all the spectator's smiling. Gotta love how sports unite people.

Great show! Nite all!
