President Barack Obama on Monday remembered actor and comedian Robin Williams as an “immeasurable talent” who touched “every element of the human spirit.”
Williams died Monday at his California home of an apparent suicide. He was 63.
“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind,” Obama said in a statement released Monday night. “He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.”
I suppose doing his Mork imitation would have been nu-presidential, but probably funny as hell…Na-Nu Na-Nu
You know who I worry about and think probably has the same mania as Robin Williams,Craig Ferguson. The guy is hilarious
when he is on ,but watching him I often find myself thinking, man the downside of this must be extremely difficult to deal with.
Cue conservatives saying Obama condones suicide and drug abuse in 3… 2…
I have already read one comment about Obama caring more about Robin Williams passing than about the things that really matter.
RIP Robin…
It’s just the beginning. It won’t be long before this will be a CIA black op to distract the public from Benghazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, and the blowing up of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor (which I understand from Republican hate radio was also Obama’s fault).
