Hi, I’m italian and yes, I do support Silvio Berlusconi.I suppose you’d like to ask me why. I think he’s the best politician Italy has got right now. Why do we keep on voting him? well… If the other candidate for prime minister is Walter Veltroni the answer is quite obvious. Mr Veltroni tries to imitate (in a very embarassing way) your president elected Barack Obama, is the leader of a very weak political party, cannot even define his own programme without copying Obama’s…Berlusconi instead is a very clever businessman, who knows how the world goes, he’s practical, prefers action instead of pointless ideals and yes, he sometimes makes mistakes. Calling Obama “suntanned” is obviously a mistake, but it doesn’t mean he’s racist.All the italians who left comments like “he’s not my president” “I’m sorry” “I didn’t vote for him”, well you americans should place very little credit on their words. They belong to the same lef parties that not so long ago where anti-american, despided your culture, your politics, your way of living, burned your flag… they’re only frustrated ’cause Silvio is sitting on that chair, making Italian history, and they are near the computers, the only power a keyboard. (communists for example are even out of our parliament, they haven’t had enough votes!)

Nothing Mr. Berlusconi says or does can surprise me anymore. What does surprises me, is that he was re-elected to his current position.

[...] although Barack is first president with a truly “great suntan”, he’s only one of many lefty presidents. Al Gore, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Gerald [...]

If you stop and think for a second it ,didnt Joe Biden say something,not so redeeming about Barack Obama?Joe Biden made a comment but i dont recall what it was,
The Point is the vice president made a not so cool remark so why jump all over and criticize a foreign head of state,yeah it wasnt the best choice of words but still it should not be a big deal.

What can I say? I am Italian and I feel ashamed having a PM like Berlusconi. He doesn’t care about what other people says about him, his money power is such that he can say everything he wants and not being touched by anybody. Here in Italy he is used to says the most incredible things and then the day after pretending he never said such things (despite being on records) or that he has been misinterpreted. It’s embarrassing to live in this country with a Prime Minister like this. Forgive us, we are not all the same.
PS: I am very happy Mr Obama won the US election.
