The Central Jakarta administration will move the controversial "Little Barry" statue from its current location at Taman Menteng in Central Jakarta to state elementary school SDN 01 Menteng next week, an official says.
"We are currently discussing with officials from the school and its alumni association," city spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia told reporters Friday. "We hope the move will happen next week."
US President Barack Obama attended the elementary school for almost two years when he spent part of his childhood in Jakarta.
Erected by the Jakarta-based Friends of Obama Foundation in December last year, the statue, which resembles Obama as a boy, recently sparked wide public criticism for insulting the nation's pride.
Just a few days after the Central Jakarta municipality unveiled the statue at Menteng Park, experts and a group of Facebook users demanded it be dismantled.
On Wednesday, the Central Jakarta District Court held a hearing to try a class action lawsuit by five plaintiffs representing 50,000 members of the "Take down the Barack Obama statue from Menteng Park" group on Facebook.
The five plaintiffs - Heru Nugroho, Protus Tanuhandaru, Daniel Rudi Haryanto, Andes Soesman and FX Agung Bimo Sutedjo - filed the suit against Jakarta governor, Central Jakarta mayor and the Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Agency, saying the statue didn't deserve a place at the park and should be immediately removed.
Although appreciating the administration's plan to remove the statue, Heru said the group would go ahead with its lawsuit.
"We will only withdraw the lawsuit if the city administration publicly apologizes for its one-sided decision to permit the statue," he told The Jakarta Post.
Hawaiian-born Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of six to live with his mother, Ann Dunham, and Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro.
Obama attended third grade at the school in 1968. He returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.
Where will the people of Jakarta worship if they remove the statue/idol?
I've been saying this all along. Glad someone else finally understand this.
Didn't notice this before. Wonder where photo originally came from.
More likely there is another reason he was dumped off in Hawaii that year. Frank Marshall Davis’s wife moved out and they got a divorce. Barry was sent home to be with his real father. Senior just took the blame for the very married FMD. That’s my theory.
Of course there is the new theory floating around that he was the son of an affair between Gramps and the black bartender. Anything is possible. I don’t believe for a minute that his mom dumped him back in Hawaii because he was acting up. That’s BS. Unless she was ashamed to have a black kid around after she had her pretty, little white girl. Who knows...
Fake. HINT....Copies of the actual newspapers, not microfilm from that day.
Any ideas? Was an ad removed and Obama’s birth added???
_______________
Yes, but only on the microfilm. Actual newspapers from that date will show a different story. tick tock tick tock......
Busted ping... actual newspapers from that day will prove the microfilm was tampered with.
Pinging to the thread, again. New information; begin at #6, and read to the end of page.
Bookmarked.
[Thanks Velveeta and Fred Nerks.]
mj, possibly you infer that someone has the actual newspaper?
(NOW I have hope for change...)
His nose in the left photo looks swollen, almost as if he’d been hit there.
Allegedly NEW information!!!
Every now and again I run across something I have not seen before:

Even so good, as is often teased
‘black monkey’, the indigenous children, Obama replied with a smile.
Call pitched mockery
Menteng children were thrown in as little as Obama often climb the mango tree in
front of his house. S When picking mangoes, he often
threw to passersby, including children age.
“He
often climbed mango trees around the house, he often picked the fruit. I wrote
often forced to climb, too. He may be bad as people threw fruit. Actually, he
meant to give to people,” said Lia (47) aka Mbak Nun who met in rented on the
road safety No. 9, RT 007 RW 02, Manggarai Selatan, Tebet, South Jakarta, Friday
(12/9/2008).

understand our language (Indonesian) he laughed wrote,” clearly Mbak Noon.
“I said do not be mad, because his skin is black. He was mischievous, but good, she was often
speak English with her mother,” he said.
Noon own ya know only a small Obama in the environment
in Menteng Dalam has only two friends who often play, which one the children of
the Caucasians and other people of Papua.
Obama often often breaking things in the
house.The
reason, the children’s age Obama, often running around the house.
When was
that, Mother Any (Obama’s own mother) immediately punished.
“A lot of damaged goods at Barry, he often
ran-running as well. Nakal really for kids sizes, so laundry and other helpers
are often angry with him,” he explained.
Because so annoyed, Mbak Nun Obama
claimed to have persuaded the small to eat great chili red. Tidak pelak lagi,
Obama pun menangis dan mukanya merah karena kepedasan. No doubt, Obama was
crying and his face was red because of spiciness.
“I asked as Mr. Lolo, why Barry cry. I said, I love chili,
abis Barry ketulungan not naughty, but you is not mad at that,” he recalls.
Never read that before ... I think I’d remember the migraine. LOL!

“I thought Barry was a woman”
Oh,
Barry is if you want to sleep, I had to play with until he fell asleep, even
late into the night. If I fall asleep there jailnya wrote, he said.
Lolo and Ann employed a 12 year old nanny?
Sounds like child exploitation to me.
