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 any be 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."

This is exactly why Sting is an entertainer. Too frickin’ stupid to do anything else. :wacko2:

Looks like the AP is reaching for "news." This seems like a non-story to me. Is the endorsement of an aging rock singer supposed to lend some sort of credibility to the failed Obama Presidency? I can't begin to understand why or how. :nope:

This is the kind of story that really impresses the gullible and the simple minded. So of course, RealDumb :drunk3: felt compelled to post it, as he was quite impressed. :yup:

ah ha ha ha! :lmao:

Wrong, Hairy-tic,

I just wanted to show you that Sting was thinking of you :poke: when he said...

".....we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas."

He sure has you done pat! :nazi:

Right genius. Sting 'validated' your bizarre beliefs, so you ran with it. :wacko2:

Most of us like to say 'down pat', but you're clearly operating on a...ummm...'different' level, aintcha?. :rolleyes:

all this does is encourage inbreeding. If you think for one minute that I'm gonna say "Het Brother Red come on over for Thanksgiving turkey and we'll sing Cum-by-Yah" well don't hold your breath you silly sumbitch. I don't break bread with :limp: commies.-----------Hairy-Tic that's so fucking original, it's down right plaegerizing, goddam "Son of Fudgie" esque. So tell me ?? How's the weather in San Francisco today ??? :woohoo:






Jesus looks like Roxannnnnnnnn turned on your red light and it burnt out too
