Sting: Obama 'Sent From God' To Fix World's Mess
Rocker Says President Is Best Leader To Navigate Global Problems
NEW YORK (AP) ―

Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.

"In many ways, he's sent from God," he joked in an interview, "because the world's a mess."

But Sting is serious in his belief that Obama is the best leader to navigate the world's problems. In an interview on Wednesday, the former Police frontman said that he spent some time with Obama and "found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world."

"I can't think of anyone better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.

Still, Sting acknowledged the president had a "difficult job" ahead of him.

The British singer, who released the seasonal album "On A Winter's Night" this week, said he's fascinated by American politics, Obama, and also by Obama's opponents on the right.

"It's aggressive and violent and full of fear," he said of the backlash against Obama. "They don't want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there."

Sting, 58, said he's hopeful that the world's problems can be dealt with, but is frustrated that "we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas."

"My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color," he said. "We are here to evolve as one family, and we can't be separate anymore."

Translation: "Americans are a bunch of stupid, unenlightened neanderthals living in the past who are scared of anything changing. I hope they can get with the program and realize that communism is wonderful and it is only their greed and desire for wealth that makes them resistant to it."

I really wish entertainers would shut the fuck up and entertain me. When they begin to open their mouths and this sort of stupid shit comes out it just ruins it for me.

I find myself now and again with yet another asshole whose body of work is all now a question mark to me, given what has come out of his or her mouth when he or she wasn't acting or singing.

Does anyone remember the "enervate the base" idiocy of Ben Affleck, trying to give advice to John Kerry?

Offhand, I'd say that a significant portion of that base was quite enervated already.

Couldn't agree more.

I see and hear alot of people express those same views . I write it off to the public school system indoctrination over the last 30 or 40 years .

"found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world."

Genuine, but not "transparent" as he promised.
Present, but not for meetings with McCrystal.
Super-Smart, he has an IQ of ~125. Granted, that is 10 times that of your average politician, but dumb enough to team up with Pelosi, Reed and Biden.
Exactly what we need, yes, if you want the destruction of capitalism, a conversion to socialism, and to saddle the next generation with abject poverty.
