Sting: Obama best person to handle world's 'mess'

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."

Man, I like the police and think Sting is an excellent singer but this is a good example of projection. Sting is probably a great guy with good intentions but probably a person who comfortably lives in his own little world too.

Wow. Always liked Sting..but this is really a foolish statement. So what if Obama understands Islam? Is that really going to stop these lunatics from strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up innocents in markets, etc? Empathizing with terrorists isn't the answer.

Look in the news today.
In NYC where I am, a woman tried to slit her husbands;' thoroat over islam.
In another state a muslim man tried to run over his daughter with the car because she was too western.

Exactly Chemist. The only reason we need to understand radicals is because we have to protect ourselves against them.

This is just one in many examples of where these people in the entertainment industry are coming from, where they hang out, and who they talk with. It shows how out- of- touch they are because if Mr. "STING" saw what the results of the Summit and the UN meeting a few weeks ago were, he would realize the rest of the world shunned Mr. "God", eh em, Obama. Yet they are sooo jaded in their thoughts about who this guy is and what he is about. The world will be in a worse place when he is finished with it in 4 years. But the issue is, like under Clinton, the media will make you believe that everything is great! That Al Qaeda was only a pipe dream... It is funny actually.
