ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi today praised US election victor Barack Obama as young, beautiful and "tanned" and said the world saw him as a messiah.
"He is young, he is beautiful and he is tanned,'' Mr Berlusconi said in Moscow's Kremlin, when asked how President-elect Obama might get along with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
"I think that there is going to be good co-operation,'' Mr Berlusconi said.
Mr Berlusconi warned that Senator Obama, the United States' first black president, would have to deal with inflated expectations from a world that had portrayed him "almost as a messiah''.
"There are a lot of expectations that he should not disappoint,'' Mr Berlusconi said.

More evidence of the appearing of the Anti-Christ

Barack Obama attended an Islamic school growing up in Indonesia and his father was a Muslim.
Obama's experience within Islam as a boy should give him a unique perspective into Islam unlike any other U.S. President.
How do you feel the election of Barack Obama will impact Islam in America?

Lay off the Lambrusco some Berlusconi before foaming at the mouth. Stick to the Pellegrino instead.

Friendly chat on several threads way back when.

world saw him as a messiah. I assume that the ITALIAN a-hole is not Catholic from the messiah quote.
