Ronald Reagan and Michael Jackson, an American political hero and an American artistic hero. May both of them rest in peace.

[xDivinityInMotionx]

<3

[chicsoccer1]

He's trying so hard not to laugh. lol

[the44118]

The president meeting the king

[xuaniexuan]

what does TLC mean?

[KooldaKat]

@xuaniexuan Tender loving care.

[kilLphiL280]

@xuaniexuan Its a part of lyrics of the song P.Y.T (preety young thing)thats why Reagan told it...

[ennitSC]

i would be the funniest thing if michael actually was hung over at this meeting:p

[KooldaKat]

@ennitSC Yeah, it would!

[KingCorny93]

He's the true King!

[PlushQueen]

Wow today marks the 27th year this happened...

[joannapauline]

he looks like a prince here.. soo hawt!

[TheWayUMakeMeFeelMJ]

@joannapauline I totally agree with you 100%

In fact, the outfit he's wearing sorta reminds me of Prince Eric from Disney's "The Little Mermaid"

I love the outfit & it's one of my faves :)

[Taylorflower]

omg. so much SWAG.

[25Amelissa]

MICHAEL JACKSON IS GOD & KING OF POP MY LOVE

[DangerousGirlxox]

Please give some TLC to the PYT's ;) i'll take some of that.

and awh i love his laugh xD

[anwaar3550]

what does he meant by give some tlc to the pyt



[atiboo]

@anwaar3550

michael sang a song called PYT

and the lyrics go: i want to love you PYT, you need some lovin' TLC.

[jasonROXcarlySUX]

In the beginning when he smiled and waved at some1, 2 CUTE!

[Disneyclassics009]

wow

[crazedbunny471]

rip to two very special men

[jkool20]

His laugh is just so adorable! :)

[CullenLovesMe]

LOL @ Mikey trying to be serious haha. Omg I love this man with allll my heart <3

[OliviaJackson29]

Squeee! :D

Michael is so beautiful ♥

[RememberSoCal]

they're both awesome. whats interesting is that mj was pronounced dead at the Rnald Reagan medical center.

[MuseVicious]

*SQUEAAAAAAAAAAAAAL* OMG, Michael you're so adorable, jshddshf.

[DangerousGirlxox]

awhh his laugh is too cute, he looks so goo here.

[TheSasar12]

Such a gentlemen,I love how he also thanked Mrs Regan :)

[WalkingHurricane7777]

4:55 Can you see a small smile on Michael's face...CUTE

[RockyBalboa211]

Mr. Reagan called him very shy in his diaries. God bless Michael Jackson's soul and Ronald Reagan's soul!

[mrchic]

Look at the smile on the Presidents face, pause 6:20

The reason why is Michael had an angelic style power

I believe. Though rare some people are just given that

extra from above. Most people can't quite explain it, but

they knew something dream like was happening here

and wanted it. They felt a certain power around him, an

aura of excitement resulting in billions of smiles, as you

see even with President Reagan he too was dazzled.

MJ captured the entire planet, never before done...

[mrchic]

These men meet, means power on power pause 6:16

At that time Reagan the most powerful man in the world

and Michael was the most famous man in the world.

[MJsThrillerEraPYT82]

what a beautiful man...<3

[051598may]

"Please give some TLC to the PYTs" lmfao xD

[jacksparrow14]

Michael's laugh is so cute!!!

[Lindethiel]

All awesome album jokes and adorable laugher aside, I think one of my OTHER favorite parts of this video is Michael bouncing on his toes at 1:07 Too sweet!

He's so classy, yet at the same time not pompous and stuck up, he's still his cute lil' self, that's the sign of a man who has the X factor, he has IT.

[Srhandel]

Thanks to the Reagan foundation for posting this, I really enjoyed seeing it!!!

[seajaybird88]

The only musical superstar in the world who have been honored by a US President, Worlds Greatest Entertainer and Legendary Superstar, Michael Jackson. no musician will ever come close to the achievement and awards as much as MJ in history!Love and Miss you Michael, Long Live the King of Pop

[hitsville4ever]

RIP Ronald Reagan & Michael Jackson....i remember when this came on tv

[rainzshal]

on 0:14 - did the announcer say "Missis Regan"? I think so )))



[ItsAlyssaYaDigg]

@rainzshal

It was said like this:

"The President of the United States, Mrs. Reagan, and Mr. Michael Jackson."

:)

[Michael1Jackson11]

@rainzshal yes he did

[jmcangus]

MJ achieved far more as a black man. Legend!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

elvis presley

michael jackson

ozzy osbourne

and Jimmy Buffett all have something in common

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

this is not how i remember it but still...

[kikiboo21]

thumbs up if u think the one idiot who dislked this is krazi ass hell!!! And thumbs u if you think Michael and his sexy gold/blue glitter jacket look EXTRA sexy!!!!

[cagnazzo82]

It's like a President and a King standing side by side.

[ShaneGalang09]

sooooooooo cute!

[me3058]

That video is priceless, two great, great men, what a sence of humour, Pres. Reagan knew how to get the audience, wish Pres. Obama had the same talent and ability to recognize somebody else exept himself.

[cagnazzo82]

@me3058 Granted look who Obama has to work with.

Can you imagine how the press would have a field day were Obama inviting Lady Gaga over to the white house for a presentation?

These were different times back then. Where stars and icons actually had some worth.

[Brookieexox]

Who ever pressed that thumbs down button is mentally ill in the head

[xxcourtz123]

thumb up if you think this video is awesome and michael jackson and the president had alot of respect for people!!

[hulkyone]

Unfortunately, Reagan was wrong. Jackson began an addiction to painkillers after fire burnt his scalp

[RandomKid5198]

Whoo-hoo! Go... Michael!

[jkool20]

i love how ronald reagan is sayin all these names of michaels song in his speech n michaels busts up every time gotta love him :)

[asiansarecute]

Awesome! This was cool to watch since i wasn't even born yet for this. MJ is so classy.

[Darslow]

God! He was only 25 years old here and he had accomplished the unthinkable in the music industry. Guinness world record, invitation to white house to be personally honored by the president, 24 million albums sold in U.S. alone, Star on Hollywood walk of fame, a record-breaking grammy night. OMG! Who didn't like Michael Jackson. He was a phenomenon.

[avamosiu]

Many MJ cared for abused his trust/deceived him, his father abused him verbally and physically; and, worst of all the media/press raped and stripped him of his dignity publicly and hounded him mercilessly.

And through it all he SMILED!

I wonder how many of us would withstand the same introspection into our lives and handle the pain. Before we cast stones at MJ, we should imagine ourselves in his life and ask ourselves how would we manage it?

Only THOSE WITH NO SIN CAN JUDGE him, not us.

[papinsac]

26yrs ago today!!!

[LoveCrushMJ]

Wow Michael Looks So Adored!

[OldSchoolSweetheart]

i literally melted on my chair watching him smile and laugh *sighs* only Michael can do this to me.... only him.

[CrazyNative4]

m.j. dresses so damn cool !  :)

[Some1bor3d]

it must've been so crazy when the Soviets under Gorbachev began to discover pop music, and finding Michael Jackson

[blaackberry1]

I adore the way he laughs.Its so cute.

[MrsMJJForever1]

Look at my boo Michael....he's so GOREGOUS! OMG, his laugh is so cute and adorable. Because this man existed, my life is complete. He was so humble. He really IS a gifted Angel. He's almost perfect. I love you so much Michael. You did so good honey. Be at eternal peace now both you and Reagan, and may God bless you through all of eternity. Seems like all the greats are going if not already gone. God takes the Angels first, because afterall they do belong in Heaven. Wait for me ya'll....

[SweettieeGirl]

whats t.l.c ??

[nicolitamargerita]

What a cutie pie <3

[xXxMJ4LIFExXx]

LOL at 1:01 to 1:05 you can see Michaels trying to hold his laugh xx

[sugercoatedvenom]

Mistake - 0:16 = "Mrs Reagan" correction > MR

[nycchick93]

@sugercoatedvenom it wasnt a mistake they jus announced the president and mrs reagan

[xTinkTink]

no actually it was like that:

The president of the US, Mrs Reagen AND Mr.Michael Jackson. it wasn't a mistake

[eutuxiaMJ]

Μαικλ σε λατρευω!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReaganFoundation]

Translation from Google: Michael be adored

[eutuxiaMJ]

it means Michael i love you so much! <3

[MJpervfuckthehaters]

@ReaganFoundation Michael I adore you

[voulamj87]

@ReaganFoundation

It's Greek and means "I adore you Michael" not "Michael be adored" .

[blacorwhite09]

MJ is amazing...so beautiful. President Reagan cracks me up "well isn't this a THRILLER" haha..it's good stuff

[cantbefooled]

0:25 ... The superstar of superstars ...

[sophreshdiva]

Michael's laugh is to die for. he's so CUTE :) i miss both of these phenomenal men

RIP Ronald Reagon & Michael Jackson

<3

[argentinianbroker]

1 000 000 stars to this video.

[ThisHotelPlace]

Those LAUGH at 1:35-1:46, is just killing me! MICHAEL is PERFECT, just PERFECT, I have no words! NEVER was and NEVER will be another like HIM! HE was from another world, HE was unreal ! How sweet, cute, beautiful and shy HE was! The most beautiful and generous human being ever exist!! This world doesn't deserved HIM, HE was too good for this world!! I hope HE is in Heavenly peace now!! Dear MICHAEL, I hope I will meet you in another world!! I love you so much, RIP, my sweet ANGEL!!

[bluesaway1]

this is just about the coolest thing ever..... nothing like this will ever happen again. The Michael Thriller Era/Phenomenon was so special - so incredible - I"m so glad I lived thru it cause it's not something that can be explained....you really had to live it to know how crazy it was. I mean, a pop star at the white house in sparkling military regalia....ONLY Michael. His giggling over Regan's comments.....too adorable. Oh Michael - I just HATE that you're gone babe... we love you. xo

[pattygoody]

So true...I was 29 when this happened...Michael was so amazing!

[1990babyface]

@bluesaway1 Michael was blingging SO HARD.

[LeonieLuvsMichaelJac]

HE'S MY P.Y.T

[YoMissTinkerbell]

Adorable, cute, sexy - perfect !

Love that laugh ..

[TheMainman86]

michael is the best

[bmarce79]

i love his laugh...I miss you Mike,,, i love you most

[ethicvegan]

Pls, tell me what is TLC ??

[billiejeanatnight]

it's from Pretty Young Thing ;)

TLC - tender lovin' care

[mintmmj]

in his song pyt it went

backup singers: tlc

michael: tender loving care

backup:PYT

michael: pretty young thang

[ogenesis]

@ethicvegan TLC = Tender Loving Care to PYT = Pretty Young Thing

[RockyBalboa211]

I thought the universe would implode by how awesome this is...

[diamondaldo]

The crowd was pretty tame, considering the president was there.

[paulie227]

wow!!!! My boo

[voxslaya]

to bad they both died two great men

[worldselect9]

Shamon Mike! ...SCHAMOON!!

[June28July]

Damn, I feel like dancing!

[MIs4Magic]

Michael is so adorable as always

[hyjcorral]

"Please give some TLC to the PYT's. I know that sounds a little Off The Wall but you know what i mean."

LOL

[indigo2011]

In my opinion, two of the greatest men in history. MJ was the most humanitarian and most successful artist. He loved and respected his country but the filthy press ruined his reputation through the most disgusting lies.

I am from Argentina and I also admire Reagan. Here in most part of S.America, the lack of freedom and the attacks from the left wing governments is horrifying. According to what i`ve heard, Reagan was fully against these kind of tyrannies.

[caitlinjane92]

I cried at the part where Reagan read that award he presented to MJ. God Bless Them both and may they both rest in eternal peace. The world will never be the same without such wonderful and caring human beings like you.

[claireluvscandy]

Caitlin - TLC stands for "tender loving care"...in Michael's song Pretty Young Thing part of the lyrics are "I want to love you PYT, Pretty Young Thing...you need some loving...TLC, tender loving care...and I'll take you there". Doesn't Michael look so lovely in this video?

[caitlinjane92]

Thanks for anwering my question. And yes, Michael DOES look lovely in this vid. He always has. :)

[symmylynn]

u know i always wondered where the photo of michael with mr. Reagan was from

[caitlinjane92]

What does "TLC" stand for? Is that the name of one of MJ's songs or something? I know that PYT means Pretty Young Thing, but what does giving a TLC to a PYT mean?

I know I probably sound like a dork for asking this, so I apologize to those who think so.

[chieaa411]

if i were the audience, i would freaking scream and not just clap, but then again, i'm in the White House...i gotta act proper! michael is so freaking hot!! i love his laugh too!!!

[StellarBlAh]

ohmygod, i finally get to watch this:) i've been wanting to watch it since foreveeeer.

haha, i love how he says 'isn't this a thriller?' haha.

this is great :)

and michael is so cute.

[xfashionnxx9]

Go Michael! Whoooo!

[argentinianbroker]

best artist ever

and best politician

[Srhandel]

The good ol' days when Michael got good press.

[MsAriesLady]

@Srhandel

You're so right, these were the days when Michael didn't have to deal with too much crap from the media! I'm going to give you a thumbs up on that one.

[xxbecstt]

Both were wonderful men. Michael was an angel walking amongst us,he should have been treasured and kept safe.

[Aviator178]

May both Reagan and Michael Rest in Peace. They were both great men and will never be forgotten. Thank you both for bringing peace to the world.

[meganbaybayy]

OH MY GOD

michael was SO HOT in '84

the hottest hes ever been :P

[1990babyface]

He was the man of the year back in 84.

[tnafever]

14 days from the date of this video, I was born.

[Onieracraft]

Ted Kennedy? heck, that's undertstandable, he used to work with the man and he was a United States Senator and a "Kennedy" after all. What I have a problem with is Obama speaking out THE SAME NIGHT in honor of the Journalist Walter Cronkite when he died but pretending that nothing even happened when Jackson died two weeks before..

about a week later Obama was making special appearences at Baseball games and hanging out with the commentators in the booth. How busy was he?

[HistoryBoy23]

reagan was not only a good politician but he was also a good man. he wasn't like some of the jerks we have in the government today!!

[LoveLoveLove502]

R.I.P. The both of them true humantarians

[camilo9936]

have you saw despert jourey

[camilo9936]

2 favorite peple michael jaskson and ronald reagen and i lke this video hi by comet you next time

[chrisbr0wnl0va]

This video makes me wonder if he voted for Reagan xD

[Califacience]

Alot of Democrats voted for Reagan back then, that was how reagan got his landslide victory, hews able to cross over.

You couldn't tell by how people talk now, but you can never know history by listening to what people say in the present.

I mean think about a kid too young to remember Jackson's bad press, and only old enough to remember all the praise that is going to be heaped on him from now on. History will look a whole lot different to him.

[RockyBalboa211]

Greatest day ever!

[Aetas3000]

I hope that this is the Michael Jackson that generations will remember.

[balonitoni999]

aww cutey!

[EliPhant209]

XD oh, how funny!

[Califacience]

lol wow i saw this countless times and somehow i missed the "Off the Wall" reference that he slipped in there .

[dummihoneybee]

truely....such a young age...n t maturity in him....already a humanitarian....n reagan...lol.....n i simply simply love to see mike giggle....its so so infectious...i just watch him giggle n unknowingly ll be gigglin myself....

[mintmmj]

lol reagan is funny in the begining and michael is cute as usual

[Califacience]

Stop spinning kid, There is no evidence that the award itself was his idea. Don't believe everything Randy says, much of it is quite controversial . Your depiction also makes Reagan look like a hack for all of the complimenting he did of Jackson not only in this instance, but in plenty of others (including in letters).

[nicolitamargerita]

And you fell for it.

[hcvang]

For what? I was 2 when this occured, and I never saw it until I read it in tarraborrelli's book - i had to see this, so I looked it up.

[nicolitamargerita]

No I didn't mean that. Lol I mean Randy makes up stuff and embellishes quite a bit in that book.

[hcvang]

Any documentation to support that claim? =)

[MJay36]

He's soo cute!

[daisyflowers100]

So confident . so honorable in his very young age. you have done your job as human on earth very well . thank you for setting up good example for other humans. ONLY THOSE who have no Heart or the Heart full of Racial Hatred can hate you that much. LOVE YOU MJ, Now you know, that your life "there" is now, much much wonderful. congratz!

[dancinmachine888]

What an honor for the Regans... lol :P

Oh, the PUNS! Mike's reaction to it all "tlc to the pyt's" and "this is a little off the wall" etc. are so genuine and sweet. I love him so much.

RIP baby - you did Good. You lived a better life than most of us could ever hope to - esp.those who talk trash about you. They tear you down because they know they can never measure up to you and are so full of hate and intolerance that they can't understand someone like you. How sad for them.

[Arienhn]

@dancinmachine888:

I agree so strongly with this. So busy tearing the man down that they can't even acknowledge all of the amazing feats he accomplished throughout his life. I wouldn't dare be able to find the audacity to trash a man whose done more work for children than any other individual in history, but of course the most violent element in society is ignorance.

[Srhandel]

The film has held up fabulously well after 25 years. What kind of film does the WH use I wonder. This is great quality.

[Srhandel]

Thank you to the people at the Reagan Library for posting this, I can't believe it's been 25 years since Michael Jackson received this award from President Reagan.

[monthy95]

i love at 1:43 hes laughing :)

[TheAnthonyHernandez]

I want that jacket!

[12jamiecool]

At 0:55-0:56 when Reagan says isnt this a Triller Michael is holding in a laugh(=Love you Michael

RIP

[fallingfirenze]

what an honor to meet the president! Michael looks so regal up there in his sparkly suit :P

[valenecia]

"Thank you very much Mr. President" (hyeh!)

It must be odd for anyone to meet the president

[OnkelWaldo]

Einfach nur Gänsehaut , und Herzklopfen!

Bestimmt 15 Jahre nicht mehr gesehen !

Danke fürs hochladen!

Michael Jackson....

NEVER FORGET!!

YOU are the King of Pop , Rock , funk and Soul!!!

Thank you for all!

I love you!

[singinstar5]

Michael is sooo adorable!!! his smile makes the sun seem dull, and his laugh....makes you feel faint...

"Isn't this a Thriller?!" lol

"I kno this is a little Off The Wall, but you kno what i mean"....

"Michael, We Want You Back" lol

American Dream come true...

RIP My sweet Angelic Prince

I will never let you part, for you are always in my heart.

-aaliyah

[missharley78]

Michael looks so handsome here! R.I.P. Michael.

[MsVertigo23]

Regan & Michael: 2 of the Greatest..PERIOD.

Michael's outfit is LOVELY hehe

LOL @ 1:30 .."Please give some TLC to the P.Y.T's" ...Michael's laugh was adorable :D

[prodigychild1988]

Michael was so cute here! Aww.

I wish people knew the REAL Michael, and not all of this speculation, and these rumors. This is stuff that this sweet human being never deserved. It's the relentless torture of this beautiful soul that killed him. I think God took him for that reason. He didn't want us to further distroy one of his greatest works. You all can keep tearing him down, but I know the truth. I love you forever, Michael. <3

[MsHeartbreaker15]

I think it was really nice of mj to stand up for drunk driving and I am glade tp see he was honored for doing so. My favorite part of the video is when President Reagan told michael to "please give some tlc to the pyt's" - love it......

[freakmatador]

LOL... To democrats it may sound like an inherited contradiction.

I wonder if they have ever look at the man in the mirror?

All they do is, spread cheap dirty lies about Republicans. They accuse others exactly of what they are.

God post Thunder, I don't care how many thumbs down they give you.

[ThunderAppeal]

I saw your vidoes, coming from you I appreciate your response even more.

There will come a time when the liberals will be yelling mercy mercy for the Republicans and Conservatives to stop. I wont let up a single bit like they didnt let up on Bush.

[freakmatador]

Yeap... It was 8 years of pure relentless hate. Then they say that the rep are the haters. I don't think they (liberals) have the moral authority to criticize anything at all.

If anything, they should be thankful for people like Pres Regan and even Bush.

[tuckamania76]

Two icons of the 1980's. I want a Pepsi.

[TheAnthonyHernandez]

Please respect the leader and the man he stands with. Love to you both ...

[periechontology]

JenkemHatesAntifa, You are an unproductive nuisance and your comments are essentially vandalism, hopefully the uploader will return to restore order and decency to this page.

[periechontology]

Jenk, you can leave vile comments on Michael Jackson's music videos but get off this video. This has another great man and leader on it and it is a memorial from that man's library.

[csiny9946]

1st- his insurance comp made him settle the 1st case. 2nd case- look it up.... the 12 jurors spoke saying they couldn't believe the kid or the parents of the kids. if you want to trash MJ at least tell the truth. I haven't seen any vids of the jurors that saids they regret acquitting him.

[forevershining1]

I didnt say it was his fault. I agree with you, that whole tragedy of the Pepsi commercial got him started, and practically drove him to a slow yet sudden death. He should have surrounded himself with better people, not ones that stuffed him with every pill and got him addicted.

[forevershining1]

Man. I cant believe here hes standing against drinking and drug abuse. While drug abuse is practically what he died from. Thats just like.. over the top sad :l

[ikhvanje]

I agree. That's just sad.

[freakmatador]

That's call an irony...
