Sting: Obama Was 'Sent From God', Critics 'Violent and Full of Fear' By Lachlan Markay Created 2009-10-30 13:58
Many Hollywood leftists consider President Obama a figurative godsend. Some, including Sting, think he was literally sent from God. The former Police front-man told the Associated Press that he believes that Obama is a gift from Heaven, delivered to shepherd the befuddled masses to providence (h/t Ace [1]).
"In many ways, he's sent from God," Sting said in an interview with the AP [2]. He heaped praise upon the President for his ability to lead the country though the "mess" in which we find ourselves. He met Obama recently 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 added. Sting then went on to bash the President's critics as deranged, ignorant, and "medieval".
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."
So Sting belittled and demonized opponents of the Obama agenda, and then urged us all to come together. Sting's glaring hypocrisy is outdone only by his audacious deification of the President. Hollywood sophistry at its best.
Let's just hope Sting leaves it that, and doesn't call for an inquisition or the burning at the stake of all the president's critics.
LIKE THE FLOOD?
These people are all senile or something.
Isn’t he a German living in an old castle like estate in jolly ole England?
And I thought this sort of nauseating praise was reserved for schoolchildren writing letters to their beloved Stalin or Mao.
What a moron...that kind of stupidity is dangerous.
this is HORRIFIC
I’d like to hear more about the Islamic education part.
Or boils...
You’d think someone like Sting would have some shred of intelligence. These entertainers are all stupid lame brains.
Go back to the UK, pal.
What a total loon.
I would say “Shut up and sing” but 1980 was such a long time ago...

I saw the headline of an earlier post of this today, and quickly went on down the page ignoring it.
This time I read the excerpt.
Wrong thing to do this close to lunch. Nauseated now.
Silver lining is perhaps I’ll lose some weight due not eating.
There is ALWAYS a silver lining, isnt there!?
Good grief, further proof that the vast majority of rock types are the musical equivalent of idiot savants.
Hey sting, when you aren’t singing, step away from the microphone.
Far away.
> Sting: Obama Was ‘Sent From God’
I agree, but not for the same reasons.
God sent pestilence, flood, hostile armies, plagues, and outright destruction on wayward peoples.
And if the USA is not a wayward people, I just don’t know what is.
What a complete motard.......totally stupid!
You're close. :-)
Nut, in sticking with a one syllable name.
Better yet, locusts. Just like BIG GOVERNMENT, they devour everything in sight and everyone else starves.
That kind of stupidity is what took over China, NKorea, the USSR and Germany. Never turn your back on these people.
This is your brain on drugs...
Hey Stink. Please don’t stand so close to me.
So he’s calling us names? LOL. Fine.
That new Christmas Album? Nah, I’ll pass.
I’m sure all of you recall what happened to the DIXIE CHICKS when they openly and repeatedly bashed Bush? Their main supporters were Country Music Fans which are mostly very very conservative. COUNTRY RADIO stopped playing their music for several years - and they’ve never fully recovered.
It happened to Cat Stevens, Bonnie Raitt and others who choose political sides. I almost vomited when I heard Cat Stevens singing a jingle on a commercial recently.
Sting? His career is winding down, but if I was programming radio - his music would be pulled from the station playlist for his sheer stupidity. Alienation of more than 50% of the American public can never bode well for ticket or CD sales.
This stuff astonishes me. Even still.
He’s smart because he tells them what they want to hear. But why do they want to hear it?
What is it about freedom that makes the guy think its a medieval notion?
Like an awful lot of people, he wants to be free but he wants you to be managed. Obamism is a coalition between the ones who want to be managed, and the ones who want them to be managed, and the ones who want to do the managing.
Freedom requires a certain moral soil and climate to exist, and once that is no longer there freedom becomes a burden that no one believes in any more. It is in this kind of world that a guy like Obama looks like a freakin’ prophet. He hasn’t done anything, but he poses well.
Sting has also performed at several Free Mumia benefit concerts...

What bothers me most is how many people actually seem to care what these self-important, pious morons think.

Go back to Britain, you lib loser. Oh, I forgot, it is less expensive to live in the US because so far taxes aren’t quite as high as they are in the UK. Just give your buddy 0bama time and it will be worse here than in the UK, with healthcare that will be terrible without a private option and taxes up to wazoo.
Speaking of a ‘god complex’ (I left the ‘g’ lower case on purpose), old Gordon’s got one of his own:

What a f*ck*ng idiot.
Sting is retarded.
Nuff said.
More like the plagues on Egypt.
AMEN!!!!!!! You got it brother!!!
There's a lot of historical precedent
To explain what's wrong with our President
Disarming and talking doesn't prevent war
It's a lie that we shouldn't believe anymore
Mr. Obama says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Iranians love their children, too
And Sting would know, how?
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll Big Brother's watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll Big Brother's watching you.
If it had not been for the Copeland's - Sting would till be a school teacher in England.
I know someone who knows someone in the music business. Sting has a real name in the business of Stink because he has a hygiene problem. Apparently taking showers and things are not high on his list of priorities.
The stalking song.
Another brilliant artist who can’t think his way out of the leftist paper box he was in at, say, age 19.
At a local flea market in Hughsville MD they sell T-shirts with Obama’s picture with “Thy Kingdom Come” in bold lettering.
Sting is a follower of Aleister Crowley...
This is a motard. Sting is a moron. There is a difference.
What a maroon. Sting couldn’t be more irrelevant, nor his opinion be more crackpot.
sting is a fool
I wonder when Sting aka Gordon Sumner has been in a church last.
Sting will be blindly led away to eternal damnation because he is too stupid to understand the truth.
Much less read God’s Word,
and even less believed what it said.
