Obama is fluent in Arabic. He had to be, because he was schooled in Indonesia, and went to the Muslim school, the Hadrassa.

Indonesians don't speak Arabic. The language of Indonesia is Bahasa Indonesia. Related to Malay, it is the official language and spoken by 100% of the population.

There is a second approved "working" language, however. English.
