Good evening Anderson and everyone. Sounds like its going to be another busy night, looking forward to part two of the Obama interview

Hi Anderson.

Hi bloggers.

Hi Anderson, Wish so much your show is safe today so wish you have a good time working today!

An.

Good evening Anderson, 360 team, all bloggers. Can't wait to see more of the Obama interviews in Africa. Very powerful stuff.

Hello Everyone!

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

Hey sweet peeps!

Hopefully you had a super awesome Tuesday.

Good evening Anderson and all! Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!

I'm so pumped for the 2nd part of this interview with the President! I wish I had the opportunity to interview him!

Good evening Anderson and Fellow Bloggers –

Yeah, more of Anderson's interview with President Obama - really enjoyed Part I last night and looking forward to the upcoming special.

Hello Anderson, Erica and fellow bloggers

so freaky to look in the background during the interview and seeing all the secret service....

All slavery is bad no matter what culture or country is participating in it. There is no excuse for anyone who contributed to it or encouraged it.

evening everyone.. hope you like the walk and talk with presiden obama.

Wow President Obama, what a real person he is!

dun know how you do it Anderson....I'd be laughing at the scuffling of the camera peeps!

The President's attention to his children, rearing them in wealth and making sure they understand where we come from, is truly an inspiration. No matter what station you have in life, I truly believe that if we teach our children to respect the past we can give them the best possible future. Thanks for asking the PResident about his children, Anderson.

Evening everyone, hope everyone is doing well

Anderson, this is such an incredible interview...I was glued to the TV last night as well as tonight! I do like the walk around a lot! Congrats on an incredible opportunity!

Hello Anderson, Erica & Team 360.
Hellow fellow bloggers.

The gate of no return always makes me gasp with terror because i feel the terror of that blank ocean (and maybe myths & legends) and feel paralyzed with fear.

@ Anderson

The Cape Coast fort is beautiful.
And the conversation for you two walking is very interesting!

My first time posting. Watching this online, it's 10 in the morning. Wouldn't miss President Obama for anything. Thank you for all the wonderful work, Anderson & 360 team.

Good evening Anderson,

Yes, I like the walk and talk with President Obama, especially giving us twice the hope for peace – Anderson Cooper and President Obama

Sincerely,

Lisa L
Sydney, Australia

Helloooo Anderson, Ed Henry, David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
@ Anderson,
Yes! I am really enjoy your interview our president Obama!!!!!! That's so awesome interview!!!!

Good evening Anderson. Watching that interview with you and President Obama as you walk through the point of no return. How surreal that must have felt...

Amazing interview Coop! You did it again!

Thanks I'm enjoying the interview.

WOW! It's so interesting to hear Pres. Obama just talk! great interview!

I am so proud of your broadcast. He (the President) represents what many, many Americans have struggle for over our history. Barack will be one of our country's greatest Presidents because he fully understands the nation's history.

Obama's girls ave the right idea... Spongebob in the hotel? Heck yeah!!!!

Anderson,
I love the walk and talk with the President! And your speed round questions were great!

I can imagine for a lot of people that if you went through that castle and heard the story of it, it would be very profound for them

I'm looking forward to the special.

Good evening Anderson. It is heartbreaking to know that so much despair and cruelty still exists in our world today.

President Obama seems to be very comfortable speaking with you. Great interview.

Will there be more of the interview during the special?

I love President Obama's reflective and insightful comments – proud he's our President and representing our country in his travels.

Anderson, so great with the President. You done good and looked so comfortable with each other. I just love this show.

There’s something haunting about watching Anderson and President Obama walking through the door of no return and hearing the ocean roaring in the background. The vastness of the ocean appears to have no end.

Good evening. Having visited the African continent myself, I appreciate what Obama is saying about the impact of it; the distinction he draws between the immigrant experence and the slave experience is important too. My people were not immigrants so visiting Africa was great - but very sad for me ....It was kind of like I feel when I visit the grave of an ancestor I never had a chance to know but wish I did.

Great interview.... thanks!

GREAT interview. Keep it up Anderson.

It was wonderful to see Obama relaxed (sort of) and willing to give an informal interview – it reminds me of what I've read of Lincoln allowing the general public to come in and meet him in the whitehouse. . . but this was so much better.

PS - I love your show . . .it's the only show I watch.

cant wait to see what Mrs Michelle's roots are from, very interesting indeed this broadcast

Hello Anderson,
I truly enjoyed your interview with the President!

Greetings to All! So nice to see our president in a light hearted mood as well as pensive and reflecting.Good gig for you Anderson,an exclusivewith him. : )

Great interview with the Pres. He seemed so relaxed with you. I hope the WH lets you do more interviews in the future.

Very inspirational interview Anderson.I will
have to put Ghana on my list of places to visit.
Can't wait to see the special. it sounds like a
very emotional and enlightening journey.

evening Anderson

Great interview Anderson!

Anderson....great job reporting the events and comments of President Obama's visit to Cape Coast.

Anderson, that was a nice gift to the President, very nice.

I am impressed and very pleased with the approach of Pres. Obama, when he descried how he taught his children to think about Afican slavery, from every angle.

His thoughtfulness and the way his mind works is insipiriing for all of us and our children.r

An absolutely fabulous interview! I was completely engaged the entire time and ran several bits back on Tivo.

Really outstanding work, Anderson.

Great interview Anderson. Its obvious to tell that Obama respects you

Anderson, great interview with Obama! Just sad to see evidence of mans hate for man :-/

Evening Anderson, Erica, Isabel, everyone.

Quite interesting, the President's thoughts on the African American experience, historical, and very relaxed and personal too. Yes, it seems like a deeply moving experience to go to Cape Coast Castle, even here watching on tv it is emotional and moving for me too.

Anderson - loved the walk and talk - just wondering, were you nervous? If you were, it didn't show.... President Obama seems to have such a cool demeanor, I would imagine he would make people feel at ease around him....

You're a fantastic interviewer, Anderson!

Keep up the professional and sharp dialogues and composure as you always do.

I couldn't help wiping away a tear as I watched your interview with President Obama. You were so professional and the president answered your questions so sensitively and sincerely. I was very proud of you both and extremely proud of America.

I loved your interview with President Obama. I am fascinated with the travels of the Obama's this summer and I am grateful that you have covered it.

I enjoyed your segment on President Obama in Africa. I thought it was a great interview (even though you did kiss up in the end with the shirt) only joking. It is my dream trip to visit Africa for 30 days to trace my trace my roots and see were my family come from. Hopefully, I can do this within the next 3 years. Can wait til Saturday to see part I. Stay blessed

Good evening everyone! Anderson, the interview with the President was so good. Insightful, personal, revealing. Thanks for your wonderful work. Sorry about the bug encounter. Hope it hasn't bothered you again

i thought is was kinda sadd that Pres. Obama had to down play how he really felt about being in africa. But he did with style. gotta like that

Coolest President ever. I dont usually watch news channels at this hour, saw the interview and didnt want to miss a word. Very touching to hear/see the Afr-Amr exprience where it started.

Interesting show... great interviews!

The racial equality is an ethical commitment that all government should have.

I hate how the slave trade towards the US was so successful, but the creation of Libya and trying to liberate the slaves was a total fluke...

Great interview with the President, Anderson but I look forward to your piece on Ghana tour/story more.

Anderson you are amazing! I despise Obama and usually turn off any TV show with him on it, but your interview was facinating. I watched the whole thing and look forward to your show this weekend. Keep up the great work!

Anderson, as I watch you walk through the slave trade process, I tremble. I can feel your sincerity as you report the story.

Those dungeons are a reminder of what we humans are capable of doing to fellow humans. Truly horrific!

Hi Anderson

Great interview and it was nice to give that gift toPres Obama .
It was interesting to hear the history behind this place.

Many TV new anchors have spoken with President Obama, but with Anderson, President Obama seems very relaxed. The conversation between them both, as they walked, was sincere, honest and friendly.

It's great to see so much attention put on Ghana, my home country. I wish I was there to experience the atmosphere with President Obama there. I have been to both the Elmina and Cape Coast castle, it's a really sobering experience. People, especially African Americans, should visit Ghana. Not only for the experience of what slaves went through, but to promote tourism in Ghana!

It's great to see the walk and talk with the Obama...Both of you did a superb job!!

Anderson - I can't believe you didn't give President Obama a Beat 360 shirt!

- Jess

Thank you Anderson for showing us what the reality of slavery was like. It brings the story to life so that we remember. We must always remember, so that never will anything like it happens again.

Anderson, it was quite a pleasant sight seeing President Obama walking the Cape Coast Castle grounds while granting you an interview. He felt so much at "home" and relaxed in Ghana...and why not!

cutting edge social justice. thank you for telling it like it is and was.

OMG that shirt!! Haha...

Those dungeons look very creepy. Why were the slaves just kept in the dungeon? I thought the whole idea was to ship them off to the New World? Did they have so many of them that they had to imprison them until ready for "shipping?"

What's so interesting is that the slave houses in other places on the continent are similar. Each one seems to have had a "door of no return," even if in another country. Goree Island has one.

What a horrific place. To think that human beings were treated with such brutality and cruelty. This would have to have an enormous impact on anyone visiting there. What a wakeup call for all of us....

great reporting ...anderson

great interview with our president

Very eery...but very interesting, thanks for bringing us that piece, Anderson

Wow!
Thanks for showing this, my history!
Let everyone remember so it will NEVER happen again!

I've been to Cape Coast castle maybe 5 times (taking friends home with always necessitated a trip to Cape Coast and Elmina) and it never gets old. Chilling stuff.

Thank you Anderson Cooper and President Obama for sharing this insider look at the slave trade at cape coast with me. So educational!

Pres Obama 's kids will learn a lot of their family roots through this trip and it will bering them closer together as family .

Great reporting. It is very rare to see footage of the areas where Africans were staged and processed before being sent to their death, in many cases. Thanks for taking your viewers on the road less traveled.

Anderson, my mother's family were slaves in St. Stephens, Alabama and in Shubta, Mississippi, on the McLaughlin plantation. Having an African American President and family in the white house, I have been encouraged to continue to the quest to search for my true identity. I feel the United States has not dealt with the history of slavery and racism enough. It is our little dirty secret.

My first thought when seeing this death chamber was a sense of relief, thinking being dead would be better than being enslaved. However......you know I can't even comment because I just can't imagine the horror. It's truly so hard to understand.

What a story ....I can't imagine the feelings flowing through you when you walk in the rooms WOW

It is crazy what people do to others.

Those under you are like sheep in your charge to care for, not harm.

These people shouldn't have been allowed to do this.

AC's report on the slave trade is devastating – seeing the actual area where slaves were held really brings home how harrowing the experience was for them.

You tell the story too well..I am sadden to hear the tales of slavery. Sure am glad to be living in these times.

Great tour of the castle - thanks Anderson for sharing this and other related stories to put President Obama's trip to Ghana and your interview with him, into persepective. I love your style of reporting –

it sadd to see Pres. Obama have to down play how he really is feeling there in afica. but he did it with style.. gotta like that

@Jasmine: yeah your right about that, some didnt even want to return

Anderson, is this your frist time in Ghana?

The most shocking thing is that slavery still exists in Africa today, as well as other places.

Seeing where slaves were held put a lump in my throat.Thank you that tour,even though it was hard to watch.If anyone ever thinks they are having a bad day,think of that castle,it should give some perspective,no?

The point of no return door that was when they led the slaves out of thier country and they must have been terrified to know they would not be coming home .

Wild, that viewing of the Cape Coast Castle was most chilling.

Thank you for taking us on a tour of Cape Coast Castle, Anderson. I cannot imagine the lasting impression it left with you. It left one on me as a viewer.

Another great interview, as well.

Anderson-.fantastic job reporting on President Obama’s visit to Africa and informing us on the latest Michael Jackson investigation update,Thanks so much..

Hollywood Florida

great interview, Anderson

People should never be treated any difernt just beacuse of race, color or gender it's so unjustified.,

Just great to see a president be so alive!!! Obama rules!!!!

Three hots and a cot for Bernie Madoff! He doesn't even deserve that...

Great Show as always.

Hey Anderson, loved the President's spontaneous remark about your hair!! He got u there!

The story of the Florida couple is just awful. I just don't get why they were targeted.

Great show tonight! Thanks for the tour.

@Fay: I completely agree. Seeing the actual area really brings it home. Thanks to Anderson and crew for the experience.

@Anderson have you ever visted ther castle before or nay part of where you did interview?

Great interview, Anderson.

The dungeon is such a frightening place. I can't even imagine what those people were going through. How did you feel being in there?

Anderson.

I really enjoyed your piece about the Cape Coast Castle. It was very interesting and moving.

Just watching the pictures of the dungeons and holding places in the castle is so heartbreaking. Placing yourself in the picture of how it may have been like just sends alot of emotions through you, fear, loneliness and heartbreak and many others

That will make make Madoff's release date July 14, 2159. Well, I guess he'll have time to think about what he's done.

Amazing the atrocities we commit against one another.

Shock to hear that there are still slaves today in some parts of the world. My Great-Grand Mother's Mother was a slave..Keep up the good work....

Has Debbie Rowe even filed for custody, or is this all MSM hype?

Hi Anderson,
I am just watching your interview with President Obama. Quite interesting. I took a trip there last year(July 08) with my family and we toured the castle. I am originally from Ghana, infact born in Cape Coast. It was my first time back after 30 years. It was the first time for my family. As we went through the exhibits, we were all shocked to see our family name mentioned in one of the exhibits(about the diaspora) with a little bit of historical narrative.
To cap it all off, we ran into Roland Martin. We were on the same return flight and took some pictures with him.

Obama’s' trip to Ghana and specifically Cape Coast is exciting. Unfortunately, last night's 360 Gupta’s comparison of Haiti to the original slavery was lame. In most developing countries, young children are brought from villages to the cities to work as servants and maids. The process of a villager giving up the sons and daughters to either relative or well-to-do families in cities does not compare to slavery.

Thank you

From Nairobi, Kenya. Looking forward the story of murdered Florida couple.

In Roman times the practice of slavery was common.

How about the custody attorney's do their jobs and stop fiddling around with the news outlets? :/

I fear that Debbie Rowe is just looking for money...because she hasn't had any contact with these kids and now all of a sudden she wants to play mom? She is looking for money...

The President's perspective on the "door of no return" I'm sure is very different than that of his wife's.

ac,thanks for excellent reporting on Ghana,with Pres.Obama.

Anderson, the walk and talk with Obama was great. Thanks

Anderson: Great interview with Pres. Obama. I also really appreciated your walk around in the castle/dungeon. It helped me realize the true meaning of slavery. Thanks.

Debbie Rowe chills me

It can't be called "A Dirty Little Secret," when everyone knows about it. And exactly what do you think needs to be done?

Great coverage!!! Really liked the tour and the interview. Thanks.

He probably would have stopped the drugs if he could have. That is a tough situation.

I totally get that 'not being able to turn-off one's brain.' I find it to be associated with a lot of anxiety.

I think that doctor just want attention. I have never known a doctor just asking for attention. Something is up with him.

Why would MJ talk about something so private to a security detail? He didn't talk about his addiction to his family/best friends, but he talked with body guard about it? I am skeptical...

I think his autoimmune disorders contributed to his insomnia and chronic pain. The impact of such disorders is really underrated. I speak from experience here. I would love to know if Jackson decided not to take his medication for lupus (which could include steroids) to keep his weight down.

Anderson great story
can't wait to see this weekend full story

Whoa!!!!!! Not good day for Debbie Rowe, they are so drama in courtroom, I think Katherine Jackson will custody Michael's children. I don't think Debbie Rowe get her children back custody.

@ David (Indiana)

I agree with you, David!

Exciting trip to the castle!! It is important to know the past and history for not to commit the same mistakes of the past.

@Casey Jones I totally get the brain not turning off too. I hate it when that happens.

Debbie Rowe hasn't been in there life so why is she back now?

It seems like a way of getting into the trust.

I think the kids need to be raised by auntie Janet, she is young enough and was closest to Michael. Also, Joe doesn't come along with that deal.

I hope she is sincere about these children and they are not a bargaining chip.

@Lampe, my thought exactly, the is no way to 'fix' something that ended in 1865.

If MJ wanted to quit, why did he order his guards not to admit his family when they tried to help?

Anderson, do you think that Debbie Rowe's main objective was money from the start when Michael died?

Such a horrible castle built by men along beautiful shores of africa.....like nazi-german camps in green pastures.

I don't get it. Only because someone is the biological parent doesn't mean they will be best suited for the child! What's up with that?

Joe Jackson was baited into that statement about Michael's children performing with a question about whether he thought they'd be performers. He answered. Shoulda kept his mouth shut but still he didn't volunteer that as folks are suggesting.

Anderson, thank you for a wonderful show and interview with the president. It was very casual and interesting. Love the fact that the children are a part of this trip.
In Jamaica we learned in detail about the slave trade and what they endured on the way to the New World, but actually seeing the dungeons where they were held was really sad. We can only hope that maybe in the future somewhere things will change even more.

Joe Jackson promoting his record company at the BET awards made him look bad. It made him look like he didn't really care about Michael.

anderson – thanks for the tour of the dungeons. i've been watching the president and thinking that would be an interesting place to visit and wanted to know more about it. you included details that allowed me to put myself in the place of those people held there. that's one powerful and unique aspect of your reporting – allowing viewers to walk in others' shoes so vividly.

Better Debbie Rowe than money grubber Joe

Why, in the name of all that's holy, does MJ's death give Debbie Rowe any more leverage. She's had absolutely nothing to do with the children, as far as we know. And now, she stands to get even more money for giving up her rights – rights she didn't ever want. This is really disgusting. Wish we could let it alone until we're all told the outcome. These children deserve privacy and respect, and time to grieve.

If it's true that Debbie Rowe has been paid off to give her children to Mrs. Jackson then she is a very sick person & needs to stay as far away from those kids as possible.

about the kids and debbie rowe seem like her peranal rights would be gone after 1 year of no contact,

And the news of a secret agreement between Debbie Rowe and Jackson's family to permit that the has grandfather no part of the children's life... this agreement is reasonable, after the grandfather said he saw the future in the grandchildren in the show business.

Rowe just wants to preserve the right to inherit from those kids if something happens. I hope the estate breaks her and leaves her with a legal bill that will send her home crying.

The only thing I can agree with Debbie Rowe on is keeping Joe Jackson away from the children. he's too hung up on the "child star" thing.

@Mike, Syracuse...I suspect he really wasn't committed to 'quitting,' per se–I don;t think he REALLY wanted to. I'm guessing probably afraid of what was on the other side without the drug "help."

The video is a red herring. It is their video, not Michaels. They can sell it. You all make money don't you?

debbie rowe may want a relationship with the kids, but the odds are that this is about money because she has given up he custody for money before.

Another thing to consider is that the kids do NOT know Debbie Rowe, so if she got custody, the kids would be really uncomfortable living with a stranger.

It looks to me like the Jackson children are at home with Michael's family.It is clear to me that they are loved,nurtured and comfortable with their aunts ,uncles and cousins.I can't see any court taking them away from any safety they feel right now.It would surely devastate and traumatize them further.I hope that Debbie Rowe has their best interests in mind and does the right thing by them.They deserve it.

The Jackson family seems like a band of vultures feeding on his remains.

It's pretty disgusting that MJs own family (LaToya, Joe) are trying to capitalize on his death!

Joe Jackson...whose side are you on anyway? Obnoxious statements will not make things any better!

Things like this happen when any rich high profile celebrity dies. The vultures are always ready to circle.

I think it will be very interesting to see how these investigations unfold! And as we get more toxicology reports back. Very sad...but interesting.

Anderson you hit the nail on the head. Paid stories!. I can make up some, any takers?

Question. How many times can one sale their children?

Evening all! Late to the party, again. So, catch me up.

Its pretty obvious that anyone affiliated with Micheal Jackson requires some payment for any comment that they make

@AC...I’m pleased to see you out in front of the curve, leading with important and compelling stories–I appreciate the Obama interview and the slave story.

I wonder if MJ was more like Joe than he wanted to admit. Joe can't be told anything, MJ couldn't be told anything. Caught once sleeping with kids to whom he was not related and he decided to ignore the warning. Even if you think he was extorted, he clearly did not listen to common sense. Like father, like son.

Extremely generous with other people's money?!

I still impressed myself to see the scenes of the last audition of Michael Jackson

Why do members of the Jackson family find it necessary to collect money for interviews about Michael after his death?

Greed is such an evil thing.

I like the way J. Toobin described the most recent developments regarding MJ. "Cash for Trash". It's sad that even MJ's own family is out trying to make a buck....

Don't they call that bribs?

Or is that hush money for something more we don't know about?

Corruption is everywhere. Every story I have heard lately has to do with money. MJ, the DA, the couple in FLA, what else?

Always love hearing from Gary Tuchman...and can't wait to see this story!

Thank you AC for taking us on that walk through with the President. I wish I could have gotten my children to watch and have a family discussion. Can you show this report again please?

I love Gary's reporting!

Its seems Michael Jackson has been crying for help for some time. His Blood On The Dance Floor album has a song called "Morphine" which he talks about Demerol.

Now on Palin, i dont know what shes thinking at all, she being all mysterious and everything about where shes headed next and what her plans are, just tell us already!!

It seems as though Michael's only family was his children and dearest friends. A family would never want to collect money for interviews or gain attention because a member died. That's just sick....

Garaz story:

We are stonished with this story and anxious to hear more from one of our favorite reporters, Gary Tuckman.

Just when you think things can't be crazier.....?

I am truly saddened that the Jackson children have to go through this and everyone else too. Hope they find peace.The children should stay with the Jackson family where they are loved. God Bless Prayers r with u

Do u have any more shirts like the one u gave the President?

The intrepid Gary on assignment!!! He's awesome in hurricanes, up to his waist in blizzard snow, being run off the road by polygamists, running WHILE parenting and reporting on New Year's Eve ...

Now THAT'S a journalist.

Go GARY!

A crime is often shocking and scary. In this case where the couple has a history of life so beautiful and humanitarian, the sadness is much worse.

It is difficult to understand what is happening in the mind of killers. They’re just sick people!

so sad and unfortunate

So happy that the police caught all of the men. So, how was a 16 year old involved with these men???

Sad Sad story

Evil people....this family seemed to be good and helped the community.

You can't steal money from people...If it doesn't belong to you, don't take it...man.

My prayers go out to the Billings family.

This home invasion/robbery murder case of the Billings family is awful. I still am amazed that none of the children were hurt.

7 suspects. How much money did these people have?

I'll never understand what people seek to gain from taking away the parents from their kids? So sad. My heart goes out to their family and loved ones and especially those kids that now have to go on without their parents.

This Florida murder case is stunning (in a bad way). Unbelievable. GEEZ! Active duty staff sargeant? It's hard to imagine such a crime for (no doubt) a piddling amount of $. Man, this will really have a big, long-term emotional impact on these kids for life–like the inability to trust ANYone.

It just seems sinful that anyone would take money for their children.

I'm sorry, but i'm confused. The only motive was robbery??

The sheriff lead us to believe that there was a much bigger case here, "humdingger" i think he called it?

What gives?

I'm appalled to hear Garza's comment of "I think it was right," when asked why he literally gave thousands of dollars to those three women. Couldn't this be considered extortion? Why is he and the three women still employed and not facing charges? Help me understand...concerned citizen from San Patricio County ..just down the road from Jim Wells.

Why were the Billing's well off? Why was every US law enforcement group called into this investigation, excepting the US Marshal service? These are the questions which plague this case.

Michael was diligent in protecting the children from the pubic eye; I hope whomever has the pleasure of raising his children should continue to keep their best interest at heart, to do for them as Michael would have and not use them as money makers, as Joe and Catherine did for so long to their own children, thereby robbing Michael of his childhood. Maybe Debbie, even though she has been removed from their lives, wouldn't rush to put them on a stage.

we'll be re-broadcasting the walk and talk with the president and more about ghana, cape coast castle, the slave trade, and african americans returning to ghana to visit and to live, on a special this weekend, saturday and sunday at 8pm and 11pm

I cant be believe a 16 y/o would do something like this, have they even matured just yet, ridiculous

I am so relief FBI/Police 8 suspents arrest murder the innocent couple killed, That is so horrible crime for them, I am also glad their daughter are taking care of 16 children disabilities right now. My heart goes to their daughter.

There's a special suite in hell for the folks who killed those parents.

Hi AC, I really wish Joe Jackson would say out the media with his comment as well as Latoya.I feel they are definately trying to make money off MJ death Shame on them!!!

@Shanny, I agree! Gary is a real Renaissance Man!

Im glad they caught everyone involved in the killing of that couple. It makes me sick to know that someone would do something like that just for a measley safe. Not to mention, its not very comforting to know that two of the killers were people that have worked for the family before, doesnt put alot of trust in public help since I had the cable guy in my home earlier today.

What I want to know is what is a doctor (Murray) doing giving CPR to a man on a bed?! If he's supposed to be a professional how do you forget that it's impossible to revive someone on a cushioned surface? Michael Jackson's death was caused by the carelessness of those who surrounded him!

Lets see. It seems to me California has it's own laws. I forgot power comes with lots of money. I can't believe we even justify any talk about these sweet kids. They are just kids. Debbie Rowe gave them up for money. That is just a shame. Please stop using these kids for news. There are so many other things out there. It seems to me that everyone is exploiting these children for money. Has everyone gone crazy. No one respects anyone anymore. Again the almighty dollar rules.

@ Anderson
The special will also on CNN International?

@Isabel, Yes and somehow history goes into your heart, but I completely agree with your point. Knowing history does help us avoid committing the mistakes of the past. An excellent point that you make.

Wow! That's a lot of house for just $700,000.

This had to have been an inside job.

It is such a sad story... Heartbreaking...

It amazing how far gone we are as a human race, there is no consideration for life anymore. Whats going to happen to those children? No motive justifies the taking of inncent live.

That really is very sad and disgusting

Good Evening Anderson,

Watching the one-on-one interview w/the President...U did capture the moment where he is dancing...that was really sweet

Great interview!

Thank you, I hope you have a great night!

Shilpee
Austin, TX

I am glad that the children will be cared for by family members...I hope that they can keep them together as much as possible.

@Casey, you'd be surprised what you can get for $700,000

I'm also very glad they caught those crazy people who murdered that family.. Who'd hurt children, who'd hurt anyone..
I think those people should go to jail for life, life I say..

Good evening Anderson and 360 team! WOW!! Seeing that interview with the president was awesome...I will make it a priority to try and visit Cape Coast Fort someday...therein lyes my roots!Anderson you're the man.

That murder of those very loving parents is beyond my comprehension.
I am not sure if I am infuriated or deeply saddeded or both. What a waste.

@Kim, "It amazing how far gone we are as a human race, there is no consideration for life anymore. "

You are so right.

Looking forward this weekend to the broadcast. I'll probably have a small get together with a group of friends.

AC, thanks for another great show....not eagerly awaiting the Palin bit!

@ Anderson and producers

Can we see the special on CNN International too?

My opinion is that the Jackson children should be kept within the Jackson family like their grandmother, aunts or unlces, not Jo Jackson. He does not appear to me to be a healthy individual, I mean he's trying to make money off of his son's death that is wrong.
I also feel that Rowe should just leave and never bother the Jackson family again, she gave up her rights as a mother.

Another great program! have a cool summer night everyone!
Love and kisses and (((hugs))) and peace~

they kept showing the plane crash on the local news...and every time i shiver....

I wish they would stop slamming each other. I think both are outstanding people.

We are so relieved to hear that all of the children will be kept together in one family.

I have a brother with Down's. He is an amazing young man. However, loss of a loved one is not something he really understands. He also very seniitive and attached to our family. We feel that he would have a very difficult time of it, if circumstances for him were to change drastically. We, as a family have made special arrangements for his care if anything changes with the primary family member.

@bea.......I couldn't agree more!

I think they should go back to the pool and have fun, and the manager should fired the employees for misrepresentation of the camp.

Hi Anderson.

Hi bloggers.

Hi Anderson, Good bye, and wish you have a safe night today!

An.

the whole cape coast castle experience must have been very intense. even from a distance you could feel the emotion.

Good Night! Sweet Dreams! ;o)

I think Michael and Debbie were in Love. Why else did he marry her? It wasn't necessary for him to be legally the children's father, all he had to do was sign the papers saying he was. I think it started as Love, and when it ended, he wanted to raise the kids, and she still loved him, so she let him. We don't really know for sure, that she didn't play a part in those kids lives, all we know is what the media reports. And we all know, that they have been wrong from time to time. Let her have her kids. Mrs Jackson, is to old, and besides that her grandchildren from Jermaine live with her, how much room can she have?

I visited Paris and they were great - and it was when Bush was in office too!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Paris and everyone was very pleasant–maybe that's because i could hardly communicate and I was alone , hmmmm (now I'm thinking).

great show again. nite nite all.

Well, not only should Paris, France adopt the "Smile" philosophy, so should the rest of the world.

Good night Anderson, Randi Kaye, David G, Ed Henry and my friend twitter/facebook bloggers!!!!!!!

OK, that SHOT is totally incredulous.

I enjoyed tonight's broadcast. Thank you 360.

And I agree (Merry) Michael's father isn't very healthy he only wants money..

Just Like Day One.... When the Jackson 5 started.. People like that are so selfish.. Michael was a good man..

re "The Shot" - can't believe all survived and without injury - amazing!

Kids this is a fight ; don't roll over now. Go have fun in that pool. Don't quit the fight. Good night.

Good night

The family in Florida must be wonderful. Besides the grief and horror from the murders, now this family must rally around the sweet kids and comfort them. They certainly could use all our prayers...

That plane hitting the car is going to be one big lawsuit! Night all

In time.... Shot is amazing!

Goodnight all... see you tomorrow!

Wow, watching "The Shot" practically gave me a heart attack! Thank goodness only minor injuries...

Great show again! Nite all!
