That, and this -
Mr Berlusconi told a Milan rally of conservative supporters that he was bringing greetings from the United States from “What’s his name? Some tanned guy. Ah, Barack Obama!”
Shortly after Mr Obama’s election in November 2008, Mr Berlusconi raised eyebrows by saying the victor was “young, handsome, and even has a good tan”.
This time, Mr Berlusconi, a billionaire media mogul who began his career as a cruise ship entertainer, also took a jab at the First Lady.
“You won’t believe it,” he said, “but two of them went to the beach because the wife is also tanned”.
Berlusconi calls Obama ?tanned? again | Irish Examiner
I remember the contoversy over that statement. i don't speak Italian *spits on the floor* but if is similar to French then the word 'tanned' (in French 'bronzé') it can also be the word used to describe racial skin colour. In France bronzé can be used to describe Arab people, though the common term is beurre(butter).
