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?

I’m in Italy now! The press had a field day with it too! I totally agree with you! Interesting take for sure!

"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.
