NEW YORK (AP) - Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.

In an interview, he jokes that Obama was "sent from God," but in a serious tone, he also said that Obama was the best person to handle the world's "mess."

The English-born Sting says he's fascinated by American politics and those opposed to Obama.

He says Obama's opponents are "aggressive and violent and full of fear."
