Political World Reacts To Whitney Houston’s Death

Reaction comes from all quarters to the death of Whitney Houston.

”A legend has died. As the world mourns the loss of one of the all-time greats, we in Newark feel an especially deep sadness,” said Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, N.J., – where Houston was born — in a statement. “She went from a Newark church to the global stage, but she always remained a deep part of our pride and collective heart.”

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said on Twitter, “Very saddened at the passing of Whitney Houston, a great singer, very talented woman. May she rest in peace, pray for her family. God Bless.”

“Like the rest of the world I am terribly shocked and saddened by the passing of Ms. Whitney Houston. I watched her grow up singing in the church choir under the leadership of Rev. Thomas,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a statement. “Whitney was one of the outstanding voices of our time. There is a hole in the sky and void in the music world.”
