| Expresses desire to make sweet, sweet love to Obama. Michelle not invited. Italy's famously impolitic Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi described U.S. President-elect Barack Obama on Thursday as "young, handsome and even tanned." |

| #2 It is possible that it was a compliment. He Berlusconi is famous to be always tanned even in Winter .Berlusconi makes lot's of gaffes like this. He once famously said that some Scandinavian PM was super handsome and that he tought of presenting him to his wife... He also said of one of his female ministers that if wasn't for the wife he would want her. He had to apologise later in public to his wife... |

| #1 Then, smiling and speaking in Italian, he said through a translator: "I told the president (Medvedev -ed.) that (Obama) has everything needed in order to reach deals with him: he's young, handsome and even tanned." Why do I get the feeling that this was not necessarily a compliment or come on to president-elect. |
