It's actually more of a sinkhole. What is the matter with this man and how does he manage to keep coming back in politics? Reuters:
Left-wing opponents branded Berlusconi racist in November for hailing Obama as "handsome, young and also suntanned" after he was elected the United States' first black president.
Berlusconi, 72 and a close ally of former U.S. President George W. Bush, said critics of his remark had no sense of humour.
Responding to a journalist's comment Thursday that his response to the economic crisis made him appear like Obama, Berlusconi quipped: "I'm paler, because it's been so long since I went sunbathing. He's more handsome, younger and taller."
