Sting says President Barack Obama is the best person to handle the world's 'mess'

Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.

"In many ways, he's sent from God," he joked in an interview, "because the world's a mess."

But Sting is serious in his belief that Obama is the best leader to navigate the world's problems. In an interview on Wednesday, the former Police frontman said that he spent some time with Obama and "found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world."

"I can't think of any be better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.

[pissant]

Not sure who the bigger retard is, Sting or Bono.

[jersey117]

I’m going to have to toss my husband’s Sting CDs.

[pissant]

I tossed my wife’s long ago.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well doesn’t it set our minds at ease now that Gordon Sumner (”Sting”) has weighed in, and that Obama is his man??????

[ilgipper]

Sting. Bono can actually get beyond politics from time to time and look out for his issues first...although lately he sounds like a total moron.

[LearsFool]

he spent some time with Obama and "found him to be...very present"

That assessment of Obama fits his legislative voting record anyway.

Hey Sting, shut up and sing. (On second thought, just shut up.)

[Wyatt's Torch]

Ummm, Sting, you are a freaking bass player not a politician. STFU...

[SparkyBass]

Celebrities. Is there anything they don't know?

[w1andsodidwe]

"We are here to evolve as one family, and we can't be separate anymore."

Well that says it all, doesn't it? Sounds like a pretty way to say "S O C I A L I S M".

[AreaMan]

"I can't think of any be better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.

Ah, Gordon you were right after the first three words, the rest was just...blah blah blah.

[hoe_cake]

From Sting’s lofty position, he cannot see the real world. What he says has no merit.

[mort56]

Not sure who the bigger retard is, Sting or Bono

I think it's a tie.

[kromike]

"found him to be very genuine duplicitous, very present(well in voting, yeah), clearly super-smart super-affirmative-actioned, and exactly what we terrorists and thugs need in the world."

"I can't think of any be better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.

So, Sting, whoever you are, are you implying that he is indeed Muslim?

Shuddup, you washed-up hippie tool.

[SoCalRight]

Don’t stand so close to me.

[Bitsy]

Not sure who the bigger retard is, Sting or Bono.

If we didn’t have Sting or Bono in this world it would already be less of a mess. I hate musicians/actors that think what they say is so important. Leftists/Marxists are a scorge.

[mtg]

“Stupid is as stupid says”.

[bergmeid]

Shut up and sing, Sting.

[mrsmel]

Sounds like a way to say “one world religion” also, IMO. There has certainly been a push for decades now to make us all “one big happy global family” in every aspect, including ecumenical.

[Roos_Girl]

Yes, the man that “never saw no milit’ry solution that didn’t always end up as something worse”.

[DBrow]

Well, Sting has chimed in, we know Bono’s feelings, but I’m not going to decide for myself until I hear from Mischa Barton.

[Deb]

Sting also thinks his garden gnomes should be in Parliament.

[Puppage]

I can't think of any be better qualified because of his background, his education....

Gee, no mention of accomplishments? Now, just why IS that?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

This from the simpleton who wrote perhaps the dumbest protest song in popular music history, “Russians”. My seven year old daughter has infinitely more depth than this toad.

Besides, without Stewart Copeland, The Police are nothing.

[Allegra]

Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.

Someone like Sting can probably afford an awesome drug dealer.

[PLD]

Sounds like Sting is on acid again he is seeing things that are not there..

[AreaMan]

As Gordon Sumner so prophetically wrote:

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Driven to tears

Where would we be, Sting, without your incisive political guidance?

[Overtaxed Patriot]

Speaking of Sting. Too bad he doesn't run into one of these:

[kbennkc]

“Roxanne , you don't have to sell your body to the night . Roxanne , Roxanne , Roxanne ... “
Continue till overcome by drunken stupor .

[envisio]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[choctaw man]

...and who should know better than this guy, another celeb who has the mike and the attention of dopes who listen to his diatribes...

[dfwgator]

‘De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da’ is all I want to say to you.”

Stings wife was an envirowacko running around since the 70’s saying the Amazon Rainforest was disappearing - when the truth came out a few years ago, she was devastated that she had been used for he life telling a lie and seems to have disappeared.

[SE Mom]

I don’t care what Sting thinks, I don’t care what ANY of them think. I just want to listen to Fields of Gold without being distracted and angry. Is that too much to expect?

SHUT UP AND SING!!!!

[BertWheeler]

At first, I didn’t approve of Obama. But now that Sting has said he’s the best man to fix the world’s problems, I’m going to have to reevaluate my stance. Sarc/

[GeronL]

Whoa thats some strong drugs he is on.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Sting stinks!

Every Breath You Take, Ever Move You Make, Obama, The Big Brother, Is Watching You.

"In many ways, he's sent from God," he joked in an interview, "because the world's a mess."



His Royal Gayness has spoken!

[WKUHilltopper]

Sting apparently has been stung too many times—by the stupid bee.

[Nonstatist]

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

[SMARTY]

Who is Sting?

[dfwgator]

I remember an interview with Stewart Copeland where he basically said that Sting was an idiot, who just liked to pretend that he was an intellectual by reading some hip books.

[Night Hides Not]

I would prefer that Sting takes a nice, long, nature walk in the woods up in Canada.

[Obadiah]

It just staggers my mind at how completely bamboozled these people are. There are like lemmings who live in an echo chamber that keeps getting amplified more and more. Before long Obama will be equated with God.

Wasn't these same pop star that castigated George Bush for any Christian sentiment he expressed?

[laweeks]

I’m not sure what his real name is, but I’ve always been repelled by that sour, sick, non-smiling, pissed-off look on his puss.

Plus, who cares?

Sting, the man who named himself a verb present tense. “Because he’s not stinging, and he’s not stung, he’s Sting!” - Dana Carvey

[rockabyebaby]

Holy asshat batman, if sting says obama is the man for the job then it must be so cuz sting is all knowing just like the rest of the buffoons in the music and entertainment world.

[Nonstatist]

Yea, his lyrics are insipid banality (or is it banal insipidity ? )

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

The Beatles may have been partially right about Obama.

Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool...

[Hodar]

And who would know more about what the world needs, than a pampered “has-been” rock star?
