president obama, announcing just a little while ago that he has a statement he'd like to read, he'd like us to read. let me read the statement from the president of the united states. michellee saddened to learn of the passing of steve jobs. steve was among the greatest of american innovators. brave enough to think different differently. bold enough to believe he could change the world. and talented enough to do it. by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of american ingenuity. by making computers personal, he made the information not only accessible but intuitive and fun. he has brought joy to millions of children and grown-ups alike. steve was fond of saying he lived every day like it was his last. because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industry, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history. he changed the way each of us sees the world. finally, the president added, the world has lost a visionary and there may be no greater tribute to steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. michelle and i send our thoughts and prayers to st
