Berlusconi and Pres. Obama 'sun tan' Monday, September 28, 2009

Recently, Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi, well known for his media mess-ups, has once again made an inappropriate remark concerning our president, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama. A while back, Berlusconi tried to compliment President Obama by describing him as "young, handsome, and even has a good tan".

Berlusconi has caused plenty of commotion with inappropriate remarks frequently in the past.

ABC News reports, "among his greatest hits: In 2002, he raised eyebrows after saying, “Rasmussen [then Danish Prime Minister]-------------------------> is the most handsome prime minister in Europe. I’m thinking of introducing him to my wife,” and in 2003, he sparked uproar in the European Parliament when he compared the German socialist, Martin Schulz, to a Nazi.

What already seems like a long time ago, throughout this summer, he was entangled in a series of public sex scandals.

But back to Mrs. Michelle Obama, at the recent G-20 summit in Pittsburgh last Thursday, she

showed slight caution to Minister Berlusconi after giving everyone else a kiss on the cheek and then sticking out a stiff hand to the joker of politics. This was most likely due to the comment on her husband's "tan" earlier in the year.

This obviously didn't sit well with Berlusconi and when he returned home yesterday he was recorded saying to his conservative supporters that he was bringing greetings from, "what's his name? Some tanned guy. Ah, Barack Obama!"

He went on to include Mrs. Obama in his remarks. "You wouldn't believe it, but they go sunbathing on the beach together -- his wife is also sun-tanned." Maybe Berlusconi saw

this guy on a beach he visits ---------------->

ABC then went on to say that, "according to the Telegraph, Berlusconi did not mean to offend the Obamas and said, “His rapport with America's first black president was ‘easy-going' and described Mr. Obama as a ‘fine man’ with a 'good sense of irony.'"

Despite his supposedly innocent intentions, Berlusconi’s latest gaffe has generated mixed reviews from Italian residents. One Roman told the Associated Press that he believes Berlusconi “is deeply racist but he doesn't want to say it.”

Here at Beatnik Babble Broadcast, we commend Mr. Berlusconi! Politics these days are much too strict and narrow minded making everyone around them stressed out and tense. People like Bersconi bring semi-goodhearted relief to the world of politics. I certainly laughed out loud when I read that he commented on Obama's 'tan'. HILARIOUS! As for his sex scandals, well every old man or woman needs a little tickle once in a while (kidding, kidding! (kind of)).

President Obama should watch his sunbathing tendencies. It is estimated that 6 billion of the 6,706,993,152 people on the earth sunbathe and we believe he should set a good example for them. We have done research and found that it is harmful to your skin, it gives you wrinkles, thus making you look older and affecting your sex life (Berlusconi would not be happy!)

Although Mr. President has not shown any reluctance towards Prime Minister Bursconi, Mrs. Michelle certainly has a sore spot for him which has probably turned into a huge pus sore spot by now.

Today's moral: Don't comment on the Obama's tan, they don't want people to realize that Bersconi is actually right. Don't suntan, unless you plan on being celibate all your life.
