The has-been singer was joking — I think — but the Obama-worship is still pretty over the top, even without the “sent from God” part:

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.

… 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.”

After eight years of assassination fantasies from the Left, I’m not sure that liberals and Democrats really have much room to be talking about the Right being “violent”.

I keep wondering where the Obama fanatics keep getting this idea that he is so gifted and special. His education? His background? His experience? He was an average student at Harvard who went on to do pretty much nothing except cozy up to some extremist liberals in order to get himself ready for a career in politics. As a senator, he’s done nothing but vote present over and over and over again. Yet this somehow makes him qualified to solve all of the world’s problems? Because he’s the first (half) black president? And of course, we’re supposed to believe this singer who has done nothing really in ten years, and has become more well-known for practicing tantric sex with his wife than for his singing. I guess we should all adore Obama as much as the liberal celebrities and journalists do.

Yeah… I’ll get right on that, buddy.
