Considering that he would be sitting on the same row as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan....he might have dodged a bullet. ;D

I don't blame him. He and McCain ran against each other and I'm sure they had a better and more intimate relationship via politics.
Aretha Franklin meant a lot to the world of music, but I doubt Obama cares too much about that.

Aretha’s work on Lady Marmalade was unforgettable. PIP.

That fat piece of shit deliberately died without a will, despite her attorneys repeatedly urging her to do so, in order to let her own children eat each other alive in a typically nasty estate battle in court. She should've died 20 years ago.

Obama owes McCain a lot for helping him win the Presidency in 2008.

Attorneys and the gov't are going to get a nice payday.

Why do people worship entertainers?
People who they never met and really know nothing about?
Entertainers perform for money and ego...
They don't perform to help people...
Cops..Firemen...teachers, are far better, more noble individuals than singers, actors or athletes...

What are you basing this nobility on? We have hundreds examples of bad cops and teachers on this site alone.
People "worship" entertainers because in the eyes of many they've made it. They "rich, successful, famous" and they stand out in a sea of billions.
No one is buying magazines with filled with life advice of local civil servants. Do you know a lot about your school districts teachers, or your hospitals doctors and nurses? Or do you think you do because you've actually met them and had a conversation.
Entertainers will always be embraced because they connect with people on an emotional level. Songs and movies "speak" to individuals and they can "relate" with the struggle.
Celebrities become "superhuman/deity like" because they're relatable but appear to be above it all.
Most people aren't doing their job because they can help others, they are doing it for multiple reasons, many of the reasons are self serving.
What you should be asking is why isn't natural/drug tested bodybuilding and power lifting more popular than professional competition. Once you answer this you won't have to ask why people value celebrities so much.
That said I met Aretha Franklin about 10 years ago and I thought she would have been dead with in a year. She seemed like she was in poor health.

People only love celebrities because they live vicariously through them. When one of the those scumbag Kardashian daughters posts a photo with a new pair of sneakers, half a million idiot women following her instagram feed comment on it, telling her how beautiful it looks and how well she wears them. Would they do that if their neighbor or sister wore them? No. Those people are nobodies, like the person leaving the (generally unreplied to) comment. They want to be somebody. But they can't, because they're talentless morons with no connections, luck, or money to live like the celebrity in question. So they live through them and it makes their miserable, unproductive lives whose one hallmark is inertia-related boredom slightly more tolerable, as wearing that same pair of shoes makes them feel important and special through the (non-existent) connection they have with that same celebrity.
Cops, military people, firefighters - they don't want your worship/admiration. As one guy in the navy (now former) once told me, "When we enlist, we're just basically telling people back home - take it easy, we've got this. Just go about your lives and let us do our jobs." That's all there is to it. They're not more special or important than anyone else, though you could say they're more brave, on average, because of the nature of their jobs. But that's about it. Otherwise they're just like you and me, and the irony is the same could be said of those celebrities, which is why they sound and look so bland and average when TMZ catches them off guard leaving some high-priced sushi bar in WeHo.

Athletes,actors, entertainers etc. usually 'do what they do' for money and ego...
Cops, firefighters, soldiers usually 'do what they do' to help people...
Big difference...

I understand what you're saying but you're generalizing.
Many become cops, firefighters and soldiers because of the power and prestige the jobs offer. There are multiple soldiers who sign up strictly for the benefits.
Judging an individual's actions can be tough. Some people are entertainers and athletes because they're good at it. Or they have a passion.
Egos are a part of life. We've all known people with huge egos who aren't anyone in the grand scheme of life. Money and fame can and will create egos. So will power and authority. As will pride.
Pride affects both the poor and the rich. The famous and the insignificant.
I think what you're really saying is you dislike arrogant people and (if that is what you're saying) I agree.

Never understood anyone giving a fuck about celebrity deaths.I couldn’t possibly care any less about any subject.
