CLASSMATE INTERVIEW 2012.
EXCERPT:
...When I first met Barry, when he showed up I think it was the summer before fifth grade, he was hanging out at the tennis courts. And at the time that was the very Wimbledon-like, where everyone had to wear white clothes and white tennis shoes. Very careful about the soles of the shoes because you didn’t want to scuff up the courts, mark them up.
So yeah, I can picture him as this slightly — “chubby” is too strong, but rounded, short little guy, Barry Obama. And he told us that his father was an Indonesian king and that he was a prince, and after he finished school he was going to go back, and he would be a ruler in Indonesia. And I absolutely believed him.
I understand that he told his fifth-grade class that he was Kenyan royalty, but I never heard that story until years later. My sister and I remember very clearly that he was an Indonesian prince and that he would be going back there. So there was some reference to where he had come from, and the understanding was his family was there...
I never read that before. Quite interesting, Indonesian prince, no wonder the guy is psychotic. She understood he had family there.. but from what I’ve read here, it wasn’t Stanley Ann and Lolo, it was the Soebarkah family, high up, elderly grandmother, men in uniform...? I remember the photo. So that might have been the original plan for him, ruling in Indonesia. He’s light skinned, and I remember some Indonsesian man who looks very like him, the photo was floating around; so Zero could easily have blended in with Indonesians, other than being (as it turned out) much taller than most.
Interesting about the scholarship, I wonder why it was awarded to him. Also noteworthy is that she says on the one hand that the kids at Punahou excelt in academics and sports, and on the other, that Barry wasn’t noteworthy in either. So why the scholarship? She also skirts around his heavy dope use; sounds as though she knows he was a very heavy user.
Too bad for us the being the leader of Indonesia didn’t work out, lucky for Indonesia.
I suffered through that mamsy-pamsying rubish until that sentence. Barf. Can't take it anymore. Because he wasn't a middle-aged white male? Really, Cruella? Now, who's being racist, mean and insensitive? Come on, get down off your holier than thou tower. Little Barry was a liar, doper and just average in school and his basketball coach wasn't very impressed with him. Frankly, he hasn't changed and seems to have peaked in HS as he can't put two words together unless POTUS is in front of him so you might want to think again about who gave you the goosebumps from that speech because it sure wasn't the guy who's shoes are constantly scratching up the Resolute Desk and policies are tearing apart the Constitution. Thanks be that your precious oh so tolerant of others Hawaii is far, far away from the mainland.
