DWBI: Michael Jackson a singer?

I dunno guys, I just don't know It's 12:00 and I'm bored and I start thinking crazy ideas like this.

So anyway I was staying up late one night watching a documentary about President Jackson and he talked about how when he was little how he wanted to be a singer like his mother.
So like I started wondering "what if he had followed through and became a singer?" [No I was not high....] Who would be our first black president?
 
Well I remember when President Jackson was filmed dancing something he called Moonwalker was a success for him :rolleyes:,is not difficult to imagine him following a musical career that's what his brothers did, he did not and fought with his father saying he had to follow his own dream , not the dream of his father , finally it was just him being more cowardly and not face his father would see him giving Moonwalkers the World.

As to who would be our first black president in his place , I believe Herman Cain or the Illinois senator Barack Obama, one of those two go down in history in place dele.E think we lost President Jackson in 2009 :(,It seems like yesterday he made ​​history,but I have to tell Michael Jackson as a singer sounds very strange to me even though his brothers follow musical career and he Moonwalkers giving the White House :).
 
It would be a sad loss for America if MJ had become a singer. You wouldn't have those delightful White House sleepover-tours he started up for young kids. Heartwarming that a guy of his stature would take the time to give America's youth such a unique experience.

While this risked me being kicked over blowing the White Supremacist conspiracy theory... isn't those white house sleepover tours was basically a front to cover President MJ's less than innocent thirst for Children?

The allegations were never proven in court, let's try discuss the positives without spreading unprovable rumour

OOC: For the record, I am pretty firmly of the opinion that MJ was innocent of the charges of child-abuse. But, assuming he behaved the same way at the White House that he did at the Neverland Ranch, it would likely give rise to the same sort of insinuations, and possibly legal problems. Even moreso, since there would be those with a political interest in nailing him.

I don't take those allegations seriously at at all. It really irks the Democrats to see a black GOP president, especially one as popular with the youth as Jackson is. So, no surpise they've been willing to look the other way while their low-level operatives spread that kind of tripe around.

Well obviously there's how- his father lives longer. From what I understand he was a domineering figure who forced his children into singing in the Jackson 5. Had he lived long enough to see the group gain success, then obviously he would have set Jackson on the course of being a singer. Actually, did anyone hear his special guest singing on Letterman back in '04 during the campaign? Man had some good pipes in him.

OOC: I agree that he wasn't a sexual pedophile- it seems more likely that he was just obsessed with the idea of Childhood because he never had one. Also, how did he die here, because I'm certain that the PoD would butterfly away his heart attack.
 
I believe that President Michael Jackson has made a large legacy on America.

Becoming a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
from Indiana, holding the 6th district from January 3, 1983 to January 3 1993.

Leaving congress to become Vice President for Bill Clinton, the two of them showed a young side to politics.

I did not personally expect Michael to run in 2004, but when he did I was shocked to see him beat incumbent President George W. Bush.

It is just ashame that his unseen health problems say him die two years into office leaving Vice President Joe Biden became the second Roman Catholic to hold the office, with many in the media comparing Jackson and Biden Kennedy and Johnson.
 
An easy POD would be to have him remain with the Jehovah's Witnesses, because they avoid politival involvement. Then singing remains a top career choice.
 
During the 1980s he led the way, even during the Reagan era by calling for artists of color like Lionel Ritchie and LGBT artists like Culture Club to be featured on MTV. He also was one of the lead sponsors of the boycott and sanctions of apartheid era South Africa,...

While President MJ was the champion of civil rights, we can't ignore how bad the economy went under his watch, I mean, we only started to see recovery occur at the end of Biden's tenure.

Let's not forget that the backlash for MJ's attempted Equal Rights Amendments (Equal Pay and Same Sex Marriage), the economy, and Biden's refusal to seek reelection, all led to President George W. Bush becoming the 2nd president to hold the office in two non-consecutive terms with his win in 2012.

No one would make a guy president who's middle name is Hussein and last name rhymes with Osama [and probably wasn't even born in the US]

OOC: Eh, I made it pretty open-ended, just stick within the perimeters what's already been posted by other forum-members on this topic, no zombie-space-alien overlords!
 
I remember that scandal back in the 2004 election about Republicans photo shopping pictures of Jackson, making his nose look bigger, ostensibly people claimed because Jackson had, had self-esteem issues about his appearence, especially his nose because his father would make fun of him for it being "fat".

So like, if he was a celebrity, would those issues make do something like get plastic surgery?
 
Well, we must remember President Jackson as a man of peace. After years in Iran and Venezuela, it was great to see our troops come home(..,if only temporarily before heading out to North Korea)...
 
What's his name - Senator West from Georgia is thinking of running in 2020. So I guess if we hadn't had Jackson he could end up being the first I guess.

OOC: SENATOR SERIOUSLY?

I believe that Shadow Senator from Washington D.C. Samuel L. Jackson, would most likely be the first Black president.

Maybe we'd have Barack Obama instead. Guy's quite popular back home in Illinois(and the state of Hawa'ii, where he was born), and he's had none of the controversies that Jackson did before his December 27, 2009 passing. And perhaps we wouldn't have Republican President Susan Collins, who, because of her moderate track record(her support of same-sex marriage won over a good number of moderate independents tired of the religious right; the revived Equal Rights Amendment went into effect in 2014 under her administration, and given that the Supreme Court is full of liberals and moderates, it's highly unlikely the amendment will be ruled unconstitutional.), is looking pretty good for 2016, especially as former First Lady Hillary Clinton has declined to run(as has George Bush, after his humiliation in both the 2008 and 2012 primaries in his party) and the presumptive nominee, Cory Booker, is having to face some serious backlash after an aide of his made some pretty nasty comments about white liberals(I feel really bad for Gov. Booker, btw, because he was genuinely stunned to hear about this, and I know he'd never have approved of what happened).

OOC: George Bush as non-consecutive President in 2012? Over LGBT rights? Really? Sorry, Cascadia, I'm *really* not buying that. Not for a minute. Also, folks, it's rather unlikely Jackson would be a Republican.
