Maradona gets a tumultuous welcome in Kolkata | Click here for latest football news..
"I would like to think of George Bush as a bit of an assassin. I like this change. I welcome this change," Maradona said at his first media conference in India when asked to comment on US president-elect Obama.
The Argentinian legend is on a short visit here.
"I like Obama a lot. I think he will do a good job," Maradona said.
Known for his strong anti-US views, the soccer great has in the past opposed US military operations and spoken out against its policy towards Communist Cuba.

Speaking about his friendship with Fidel Castro, Cuba's ruler till recently whom he idolises, Maradona said: "I have shared a lot of cigars with him. We have talked about politics and football...he has been a great influence on me."
Isn’t Maradona the fat cokehead most famous for scoring a goal that really wasn’t a goal? Screw him. Go back to your third world stink hole and have another heart attack, fatty.
You betcha.
And the fat.
And the cocaine.
And Castro.
Maradona is fecal matter. The Argies named him their national squad coach. Dumbasses.
...Yea, “You betcha” “Who cares?”...[Report Abuse] [Personal Attacks]... To the “Ad Mon” Are personal attacks against “public” personalities permitted??? I’m offended, j-damn!
Shut up and play!!
Oh, that’s right, you’re a has-been, Maradona, so you can waste your time going around mouthing off about things you know nothing about.
Another douchebag who ought to head over to Pakistan and talk to them about assassins and terrorists, like that imbecilic “actor” who wore the “Bush - International Terrorist” t-shirt at an event in Mumbai just as the REAL terrorists attacked.
Maradona is a disgusting piece of human debris. He’s everything wrong with atheletes of any sport...
1. He admits cheating in soccer.
2. He admits cheating on his (ex) wife and fathering kids out of wedlock.
3. He’s a coke head.
4. He loves Castro and Chavez.
5. He’s had Castro’s mug and Che’s mug tatooed somewhere on his fat a—.
6. He’s stated that the hates everything about the U.S.
Why would anyone care what the fool thinks? Why would anyone care what any athlete, actor, singer, or songwriter thinks about anything besides their professions? Just once I’d love to hear a politician critique back...
“Hey, Modonna’s got every right to criticize me. Just because she’s a college drop out doesn’t mean she can’t form an opinion. And I’ve got every right to criticize her. Take her music. Please take it. It’s not something anyone’s going to listen to a decade from now. And hey, Madonna, your age is starting to show a little. It might be time to wear more than a corset.”
“And don’t get me starting on that high school grad and rocket scientist Leonard-oh DiCaprio. We all want someone who pretends to be someone else (and doesn’t even do it very well) to lecture us about science.”
“It’s almost as bad as Algore talking about science and economics and morality. Wasn’t he a C and D student in the few science and economics course he took? And didn’t he flunk five course in divinity school before dropping out? Yup, let’s let a stooge like Gore define morality, teach us all he knows about science, and propose economic solutions to our problems.”
“People can listen to the dunces who perspire mediocrity in their own fields lecture on things they know nothing about. I prefer to listen to scientists, generals, and other the top people in every field.”
If he likes Castro, who cares?

And is there a point to this person making the staement and having it published? As in who gives a particuoar rats ass what the guy thinks???
Oh wait lets ask Madonna what she thinks of Bush and Obama....
Hey lets run our Nation on what some unknown used up soccer player thinks....
Somebody actually scored a goal in a soccer game?
I see Maradona has taken to using cocaine on a massive scale again. Those arrests for cocaine use don’t seem to have reduced his appetite for the white stuff. Sigh.
Maradona... don’t you have to go score some more blow dude... maybe “win” another World Cup match by cheating (you know that Hand of God b.s.)?
Look at the REAL corruption in your own country, Diego. And ummmm...how are Cristina and Hugo these days? Ahhhhh....still torturing the people of Argentina and Venezuela....ahhhh yes.
The imbecilic actor was a muslim (had a muslim name). I expect nothing different from them, whatever part of the world they live in.
This clown has had too many kicks to the head and groin to make sense -— and he doesn’t.
That says it all doesn't it?
