BWAHAHAHA!: Indonesia's Obama statue to be moved!

NYTIMES:

A recently-erected statue of President Obama as a 10-year-old boy will be removed from a public park here, city officials said Friday, bowing to vociferous criticism on Facebook one month before Mr. Obama visits Indonesia.

Indonesian students looking at the statue of President Barack Obama as a 10-year-old boy at Menteng Park in Jakarta on Friday.

The statue will relocated as soon as possible to an elementary school that Mr. Obama attended during the four years he spent as a child here , the governor of Jakarta, Fauzi Bowo, told reporters.

In December, the city unveiled the 43-inch tall bronze statue in a park in Menteng, the leafy neighborhood where Mr. Obama lived with his divorced mother and Indonesian stepfather in the late 1960s.

Financed by $10,000 from Mr. Obama’s supporters here, it depicts the boy known at the time as Barry in shorts and a T-shirt, smiling as a butterfly lands on his left thumb.

But the statue of Mr. Obama — who successfully exploited the potential of social networking sites during the 2008 presidential campaign — soon became the target of intense ire by critics who said Mr. Obama who had done nothing for Indonesia, and said the public park should be reserved to honor an Indonesian..

CHANGE MY ASS.

OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPORVE AMERICA'S STANDING IN THE WOLRD - AND OUR ENEMIES REASPECT AND FEAR US LESS.

ALL IN ALL: OBAMA HAS BEEN A NET LOSS.
