Sting Thinks Obama Is "Sent From God"

Filed under: Barack Obama > Sting

wenn2632136sting.jpg

That's some pretty grandiose praise!

Sting firmly believes that President Barack Obama is the best man to deal with the world's problems because he's "genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world…because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam."

The British singer is very interested in American politics and had some choice words about the conservative side and those against Obama:

"It's aggressive and violent and full of fear. They don't want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there. My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color. We are here to evolve as one family, and we can't be separate anymore."

Smart man, that Sting!

      Everybody seems to be in love with Obama. I'm just glad I don't have to live in a country that is quickly losing its status as a prosperous and safe place to live.



    2. 2

      MMM.. trick or treat !!



    3. 3

      well said sting. @romy23…it was lost with the last administration. this one is bringing it back. like sting said, conservatives are scared of change and of not running things. they had their chance, they fucked it up. now is the time to stop fighting change and support it.

      …what???? He doesn't care about hemlines? It doesn't get worse than this.

      Yea wait till he sees his tax bill when 80% of his money is taken away. Freaking moron.



    7. 7

      BWA HA HA HA! WAIT TILL HE SEES HOW MUCH MONEY HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY IN TAXES!



    8. 8

      SCARY!!! Sting, stick to your music.



    9. 9

      First of all, what do liberals have against the Constitution and the values and ideals of our Founding Fathers? I'd rather not be counted into "one family". I refuse be a part of anything collective. I live for myself, not others. All this self-sacrificing is making me sick, please shut up about it. Conservatives don't want things to remain the same, everyone is for reform, just not the kind of mass-spending, increase of government regulation and control over more and more industries and the private lives of citizens. Sting sounds like another person in league with practically all of Hollywood which supports Obama in order to have as much influence over the masses as possible.



    10. 10

      Here's something that I'll let Ayn Rand teach you idiots:
      "The 'common good' of a collective-a race, a class, a state-was the claim and justification of every tyranny ever established. Now observe the results of a society built on the principle of individualism. This, our country. The noblest country in the history of men. The country of greatest achievement, greatest prosperity, greatest freedom. This country was not based on selfless service, sacrifice, renunciation or any precept of altruism. It was based on man's right to the pursuit of happiness. His own happiness. Not anyone else's. A private, selfish motive. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. Now, in our age, collectivism has broken loose and is running amuck. It has brought men to a level of intellectual indecency never equaled on earth. It has reached a scale of horror without precedent. It has poisoned every mind. It has swallowed most of Europe. It is engulfing our country."



    11. 11

      Re: Romy23 – We're glad you don't too! At least in this country we have the right to protest without getting tortured or killed. The US is not the only country with problems that need fixing. Now we have a president who admits there are problems and is actively trying to do something about it.



    12. 12

      Don't worry Sting we'll show our love of "Change" next year at the mid term elections!



    13. 13

      He's not that hot, but he looks like he would be crazy good in bed.



    14. 14

      He's obviously delusional.



    15. 15

      As the late great Fats Waller said, "Shut-up and play" I'm tired of A** hole entertainers telling me what to think and do especially an Fn limmy. Sting stay in England it's already ruined!

      ! He's a brit so why is he running his mouth about the president anyway??



    18. 18

      Yeah, wait til Obama's hand outs need to be paid for. We are going to be faced with the biggest tax increase and then we will see if he thinks he is God.

      Obama makes me sick he is tearing apart this country bit by bit and he and that nasty "I hate America" wife need to quit frolicking around on date nights and stay their asses home.



    19. 19

      Oh yeah - Sting is the one to listen to - NOT!! Entertainers should keep their mouths shut about how our country is run- especially when they aren't even citizens. Change is a comin' - liberalism is on its way OUT!!!

      what a brilliant man.
      not so sure about the sent from god part,
      but obama is a great president, people need to get their heads out of their asses and quit hating on him. he can't change the world in an instant.



    25. 25

      sent from GOD's butt



    26. 26

      watch 'the obama deception' on you tube. Obama is a mason - google and watch how he shakes hands - secret club - all the key people in his government are the same - old - same - old from past administrations.

      Obama is not change - what has changed since he took office? Nothing - he has the same policies as George Bush

      Sting is questionable. He's an old man that once sang in a group glorifying "Police"
      Research yourself everyone. This is propaganda.

      Who really cares about Sting - or Stink like he is really known as

      Peace be Light



    27. 27

      Amen!! Sting is exactly right. This is why I love this man… he speaks with so much sense and does'tn hold back.



    28. 28

      Obama is the anti-christ
      research
      he is not sent by God - he is sent by the devil

      OBAMA IS EVIL



    29. 29

      I just want to scream when I hear the liberal elites talking. You preach about helping your fellow man, but you would never live in my house, my neighborhood, or send your children to my school. You sit in your mansions, go to your parties, collect your awards, dine in the finest places, travel, vacation, and then you turn around and tell me where I should put my hard earned dollars. Leave me alone. I'm knee deep in reality to buy your ridiculous statements about make believe gods who want MY money to rule the world.

      I wish Sting would keep his oversimplifications to himself and perhaps focus on his own country, The United Kingdom, where an old women and her extended family are keep on the largest dole check in history, paid for by the nation's taxpayers rich and poor.
      I think the beauty of our country is that we can all have different opinions about how government is meant to work and vote for candidates that share our vision every 2, 4, or 6, years (depending on the body of government). And then further beauty lies in the fact we can vote them out every 2, 4, or 6 years as well. At the end of the day we are all Americans but with differing opinions, just like Hamilton and Jefferson.

      Amazing how rich foreigners like Sting, who don't feel the effect of any of Obama's policies or have any stake in the US, think Americans care what some wealthy musician thinks about complicated issues like politics and economics..



    35. 35

      Hey Sting, does obama give you a tingly feeling up your leg too? obama is the worst. He's a marxist seeking to destroy our USA. Bummer, I used to like sting.



    36. 36

      OBAMA A GREAT PRESIDENT…WOW…



    37. 37

      HES DONE TWO THINGS…..JACK AND SQUAT….



    38. 38

      Sting is a very smart man and his comment addressed the underlying bickering going on in America. The right wing likes everything separate and not equal. It's their comfort zone. In the end we are all the same.

    40. 40

      Hey Gordon Sumner, our Prez is a rookie…very inexperienced. So, he's full of good ideas and often does the right thing — but what has he actually *done*??? People still losing their homes, credit card companies still scamming us with exhorbitant interest fees, unemployment still status quo.



    41. 41

      He calls himself Sting - makes a living singing - and we're supposed to take his rantings about the world as one big family seriously? What an idiot. Stay in Britain.



    42. 42

      Re: *MJ4life – People like you need to stop claiming racism… it's obviously your fallback for everything. People can dislike Obama and his policies for other reasons than he's half-black. Get over it if you want others to.

      43

      Is he even American? What does he know about presidents and running this country? Obama has not done anything yet and he's been in office for almost a year already. Unemployment is at the highest, businesses are closing down,
      etc. Stick to your singing and refrain from making a comment about God and Obama as he is definitely not a messiah! STFU!

      Re: *MJ4life – Kwamie Called and he wants his "Race Card" back!



    45. 45

      Europeans love President Obama. When you think about it, it's so much better than being hated and distrusted .. like the 8 years of the Bush/Cheney Regime.
      You must admit, it's easier to get things done in a cooperative and collaborative way when YOU'RE NOT HATED!!!!
      I'm proud of President Obama, and am no longer fearful and embarrassed when he represents the United States around the globe.



    46. 46

      Obama haters are so sad and pathetic. He's done absolutely nothing to deserve it, so I must assume these haters are either racist or republican. Either one is very bad.



    47. 47

      God I hate Republicans. They are the most vile human beings on the planet right now.



    48. 48

      I think the world looks at the American right wing with complete disgust, as they should. I know I do. Every single self-professed conservative I've ever met has been woefully ignorant of world affairs. Every. Single. One. Kind of explains why they are attracted to the Rovian, Bush, Limbaugh, Cheney party. Their world ends at the tips of their noses.



    49. 49

      Smart, yes he is so why is he making ridiculous comments? Beacause he is part of the Bono, Gore, Rockefella global warming eugenics charade. One world? Yes One World Order and we are afraid of change? All we have are lost jobs, savings, homes, health and probably more war…. things are going to get worse not better.
      Obama is just an actor he is NOT a leader he is the president for Wall St and the banksters and He will take us to our One World Order.

      I can see it and many people are waking up so I suggest Sting get with the people and for the people not for a reality show president who used to work for the CIA.

      Oh and I would like to see Sting getting his poisonous eugenics swine flu vaccine that is planned to get rid of 20% of us??The swine flu will not kill you, the vaccine will.

      Typical Hollywood liberal who thinks Obama is the Messiah. THEY are the ones who are intolerant of others' opinions, especially those that are conservative in any way. And anyone who thinks George Bush is a good representation of the Republican party is seriously mistaken. Conservatives don't really like Bush either.



    51. 51

      Every single person who voted for Bush has blood on their heads, and you are the ones responsible for this gawdawful mess the planet is in. You hate gays and don't want them to marry, but I say Republicans shouldn't marry. They and their spawn are destroying the planet. Rape, Greed, Mass Murder, Unjustifiable War, Pedophilia - they name is 'Republican'. May you all reap what you have sown.



    52. 52

      There's no 'race card' being played. Republicans ARE racists. Bigots. Haters.

      Re: pjjackson – Conservatives are not scared of change. They don't want to see our Constitutional rights taken away (censorship of any press is wrong!) and our deficit increased further by a man with an agenda of "change" and who is lying about health care not furthering our debt. He can't decide what to do about the war so soldiers are still in harm's way. His press conferences and town hall meetings are staged. Wake up! Obama is a smart and charismatic man but he's naive and in way over his head. Change for the sake of change is a bad road to take. Time to stop talking and whining and start DOING before it's too late!

He is now lifting a 20 year travel ban for people with HIV/AIDS further endangering America:(. We Americans need to Wake Up and do something instead of taking it so passively. Sting says O is good as far as Islam-yeah, I agree, because he hates Christ, too. Closet Muslim, Anti-American and full of bullshit with a smile.

      Those that think the right has a moral advantage over the left are sheeple.

      Those that think the left has a moral advantage over the right are sheeple.

      BOTH SIDES ARE CORRUPT. They are NOT on our side.

      The two party system has failed.

      What we have here is the nation's 20% acting as if Obama is their messiah. He's a LYING SELF SERVING POLITICIAN JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM.

      WAKE UP! HE'S A SELF SERVING CROOK.

      Re: SerenaD There's no 'race card' being played. Republicans ARE racists. Bigots. Haters

    66. 66

      "over half of the white people I have talked to has said they didn't like him just b/c he's black"

      What a bold-faced lie. Even Obama doesn't believe this crap. Tell me, how did he even get into office if racism is that prevalent?

      If your rant was so just, you'd not have to revert to such dishonesty.

      The dishonest people that are trying to say anything that disagrees with Obama is racist, is doing more harm to race relations than good.

      They don't care though.

      Yeah, it's easy for white liberals, such as Sting, to show such "love" for Obama. Then they can stand up and say, "I have a black friend. He's in the White House." from behind the gates of their mansions.

      I wonder how many of celebrities and everyday, ordinary liberals realize the party of Obama is the reason slavery and segregation lasted so long. And why are most of are major cities falling into social and economic ruin? They're run by Democrats. You friggin liberals do not even realize how much conservatives of all sorts have done for this nation. We're NOT about keeping things the same. We're about conserving values that keep our nation strong and about furthering the advancement of citizens as a whole by showing them how they can help themselves.

      But a majority of liberals and all liberal musicians and celebrities are so out-of-touch of what's what concerning politics. The future of America is conservative regardless of how much liberals like to hinder true progress for the faux progress they push…progress that only aids the government. Liberal progress is like a backhoe pushing dirt. It only lasts until fuel runs out.

      Consevative progress is as natural as the oceans' waves. It's not something that'll be refused.

      Jesus Christ ignorance is bliss. So because I disagree with a lot of his fiscal policies (which make no sense, such as the amount of his stimulus package and taxing WAY too much one group of people like bush did) then that makes me a racist and full of fear. F-U-C-K Y-O-U and GET OVER YOURSELF PEOPLE! Stop always going right to the race card just because I disagree. Hmmm forcing people (like the house bill that oblivious pelosi set up) to buy health care is absolutely rediculous and NOT even close to the same as car insurance BAHAHA which some of them are trying to make that connection and if that were to pass (which it won't since it's unconstituational not to mention the fillibuster republicans are slowly setting up) it will take .5 seconds for people to challenge that at the supreme court. NEVER- besides car insurance (which makes sense) has the government wanted to FORCE people to buy into something….WTF?!

      And, the reason why I'm an independent (really I have no interest in any party) is because (and if you know you're history) our founding fathers hated and feared a two party system since they believed it created a pattern or systemized way of solving our problems at the same time slowing down the process of enacting thoroughly thought out legislation. God, our fathers were so dead on it's scary.

      And I believe in health care reform but NOT with a government option. I've believed this before hearing him, but intelligent economists like milton friedman said it creats an extremely unfair advantage for the private sector because (and this is so fucking obvious) government is the one that sets the regulation and tax policies (premiums as well for their own- thus probably undercutting them in some way) and funneling everyone eventually to a single payer option which goes against the beliefs of our founding fathers (i.e. adam smith who was a founding father and coined the concept of the "invisible hand" or free-market enterprise) and capitalism which allows ANYONE to rise above and improve their standard of living- which ANYONE can.



    91. 91

      I can easily pull them up (not too hard to search for really if you want) of so many stories of people down in the slums coming up with a great new product that people demand at marketable prices and buying that nice house or car. In fact- the man who created peanut butter wasn't the richest of people who was also black also and look at that. How are we racist if the majority of America elected a FUCKING black president!? I actually did as well, but regret it (was my 1st time voting ever). I do like the new "rules" tho for what obama is doing on overdraft fees and the credit industry so suck it.

      Now I'm all for health care reform like I said just not the way obama is doing it. I would offer generous tax deductions for lower income families and devise federal mandates to stop what some insurers are doing by denying people at horrible times which is very wrong.

      And this is sooo bad what obama has said, "I prefer a single payer option, that's what I'd like to see" Never will this happen, NEVER!

      P.S. I laugh anyways at the people who think they'll be even able to run a public option if they can't for starters even adequately devise when and how long a program like cash for clunkers will end up lasting! Ha, they spent a small chunk and thought it was going to last for at least three months, wellp they ran out of money in about 1 haha. And besides, 9/10 times the CBO always underestimates how much reforms or a plan is going to truly cost, idiots probably don't even account for inflation- i hope so tho God ha.
