“Let’s hope it’s a girl, to quote the title of an old movie. In the meantime, I think it’s only right to give Barack Obama due credit for these last eight years,” Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said.




Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi praised President Barack Obama’s eight-year administration and reiterated his support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a heartfelt Facebook post Monday.


Alongside a collection of photographs capturing Renzi and Obama at official functions, the Italian prime minister called Obama an “inspiration” and expressed his respect for the American leader’s vision.

“Of course, it will be historians who define the high and low points of his presidency. But in my view, history will be kind to Obama,” Renzi wrote.

Renzi referred to Obama as “the man who has invested in hope over cynicism, who has raised a generation to try (Yes, we can),” and praised his investment in energy, innovation and health care. He acknowledged that Obama’s foreign policy has not been without controversy, but hailed his policies in Cuba and Iran, and his contribution to the global economy.
