Neither Scott nor his mother have copies of that picture nor any recollection that Barry was in Kindergarten.
In conflict is his statement to the Harvard Crimson, reprinted on the AP Wire and in numerous other publications, that he went to Indonesia at the age of "about two"; pictures which appear to be taken in the age 2 to age 6 range in Indonesia; statements of individuals who played with him in that age range in a rural environment; the fact that the Soebarkah's lived in the outer island rural area; the absence of any credible supporting data which would place him in Hawaii in 66.
No. I don't believe he was in the Kindergarten class--it's possible.
But I believe as he told the Crimson, that he went to Indonesia in 1963 and remained there until the later 1960's before returning to Hawaii to go to school in 1971.
Scott doesn’t remember him being in his class, that is true. But I don’t remember my kindergarten classmates either.

See this comment. Neither Mrs Nordyke or Scott’s mother ever presented their children’s photograph with zero in kindergarten, the Nordye twins and Scott are in the group also. Scott is the boy on the far left, front row, and the Noryke twins are the two caucasian girls.
No, I think Stanley ann sent him back from Indo 2x. Read Lia’s story; it rings very true. He was sent back to granny when Stanley was expecting maya. Poor little guy was very attached to Lia but bitch hippie commie mom ripped him from that attachment too. The way Lia describes that trauma really rings true.
And that means he could have been in that k class in Hawaii.
To follow on with the Jakarta ‘living at the Palace story’ for the record:
Mayo Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s half sister, has publicly mentioned her grandmother’s “royal blood,” and University of Hawaii anthropology professor Alice Dewey, Stanley Ann Dunham’s close friend and thesis adviser, told me in a phone interview last year1 that:
Lolo’s mother, Ann, and Maya lived inside the royal area of Yogyokarta when I visited them in 1978-1979. She was related to the Sultan, I think probably at the second-cousin level or maybe even the first-cousin level. They — Ann, her daughter Maya, and her mother-in-law— lived in a house very near the center of that walled area, which suggested to me that she had a fairly close family relationship to the sultan. The betang is traditionally the area reserved for the extended royal family of the Sultan Hamengkubuwono. No one who was a foreigner without royal blood could live there.
Soetoro’s familial relations to the Sultan would explain why he received a scholarship to the University of Hawaii East-West Center program. Typically, foreign governments recommend students who have some sort of political connection.
