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.
Beck just says that the birther movement started with a democrat Berg and can be traced back to Hillary.....
Interesting & would make sense. I have never heard the reports of “Annie Toot.” Learn something everyday.
Even though the google translations are choppy, the Indonesian sites are still a goldmine considering compared to what we have s far.
He was working on a masters at Harvard, not doctorate.
The alleged father is very short.
Not on a million years. I want him OUT! I even want him out of my country.
IN a million years.
Once again, we’d have to see an original newsprint of that date to know.

it’s out there... :)
Don’t be so sure about that. Just wait and see. You can rest assured it will never be posted her or anywhere else. Just wait until 2011. We aren’t getting him out, forget that. He will not run again and if he does, he will not be reelected. The god evidence is in the hands of people that know what to do with it, and no, not people like Orly. Experienced, well known people who know what to to with evidence and know to keep their mouths shut while they build their cases.
The Harvard scholarship was for a Doctorate? Why not complete his studies after grad school at Harvard. Why pursue doctorate in Kenya.
So ... who is the father?
FMD
Or MX.
I agree with Lamecherry, except they are probably incorrect regarding the hospitals.
This kid does not resemble the present Obama..unless there was a drastic nose change.
Frank Marshall Davis or Gramps.
There are doubts Senior graduated, Harvard has never referred to him as an alumni in any articles about Zero, which they certainly would have, had he GRADUATED.
Remember, kenya gained independence in 1963.Senior expected to be a big man in government, instead he ended up working for an oil company when he returned to Kenya and it was years before he received his first government position.
