Silvio Berlusconi this week further consolidated his already strong reputation for political tastelessness. At the gala dinner for the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh on Thursday, the Italian prime minister visibly irked President Barack Obama with his unabashed ‘va-va-va-voom’ hand gestures when he was introduced to Michelle Obama. Instead of directing a respectful glance into the first lady’s eyes, he first gave her gown a Via Veneto-style leer—and reaped an arms-length handshake from Mrs. Obama instead of the warm embrace she gave other leaders.

The street hustler gets hustled and doesn’t like it....
The leering was really over the top. However, the “greetings from what’s his name” was hilarious.
If he was “va-va-vooming” Michelle Obama, I would like to take up a collection to buy Signor Berlusconi an eye exam.

“Instead of directing a respectful glance into the first lady’s eyes, he first gave her gown a Via Veneto-style leer—and reaped an arms-length handshake from Mrs. Obama instead of the warm embrace she gave other leaders.”
Translation: “Whatchoo lookin’ at cracka.”
That apology tour really worked! obummer.
I think Silvio is “jacking” the usurper. Hilarious. Berlusconi is one of the wealthiest men in Italy and I am sure he does not like Obama.
I wonder how many of the people in that picture are paid from my tax dollars?
Agreed.
I’m saving this one! thanks!
All but that one guy in the back right... :)
Thank God for fairly conservative Sarko, Merkel and Silvio the prankster. Ditto Harper of Canada.
Berlusconi does not respect Obama at all.
A little tasteless, but Berlusconi calls ‘em as he sees ‘em.
I wonder if theres a photo of this...
This may be the first salvo of
“if you’re going to make a race issue out of everything anyway, we’re going to intentionally offend you.”
Probably all of them. However, back to the Berlusconi Jokes About ‘Tanned’ Obamas, I like this man.
Gee, when someone says to me, about this time of year, “Gosh, Cicero, you have a nice tan,” do I angry at him? Do I call him a racist?
After all, Obama is back from a summer spent mostly in the sun, golfing, playing on the beach, and strolling around in short sleeve shirts even on public occasions.
So, he has a nice tan.
