I think Berlusconi is a very smart man and made a comment about who voted for Obama and why he's President. It's sarcastic double talk. IMHO

I'm thinking Berlusconi might be taking the mickey just a tad...

I'm thinking you nailed it. Didn't peg Italians for this brand of humor.

Hold on.....

Read between the lines. To me it looks like Berlusconi called him a buffoon that is over rated, won't be able to deliver the moon he promised after all, and was elected because of being a young cute black guy that can dance on TV. Don't take his words literally.

He looks haggard to me. Maybe it’s just two years of non-stop campaigning that has taken its toll, but I wonder if he’s healthy. Has he ever released his medical records?

He is young, he is beautiful and he is tanned

So's the babe on the latest Maxim. I don't think she's qualified to be president either.

Do you think if the Monarch of the UK all of a sudden had a black ruler he would call them “tanned”? And they call us racists?

"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.

This might be an amazingly accurate back-handed insult by Berlusconi. We'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt. ;)

As he said Dmitry Medvedev and Barak Obama were similar in that they were “young, beautiful, and tanned”, I don’t think Berlusconi needs any benefit of doubt.
