” Anyone know how long he stayed in Indonesia that time? “
His half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, said he eventually retreated to Bali for several months with his wife, Michelle,
“to find a peaceful sanctuary where there were no phones.”
Bali, Indonesia has a population of 2.5 million people.
It’s much more cosmopolitan than Fiji or Tahiti.
They have plush resorts with phones.
Lots of Aussies vacation there.
Which is why Al Queda targeted the Bali nightclub in 2002.
And while majority Hindu, Bali has 600 mosques.
In case the Obamas felt the need to worship.
While searching, I found a Bali blogger who said he had just read that the Obamas spent a year and a half in Indonesia, but, I couldn’t source that comment.
Wonder if Bill Ayers was in and out of Indonesia during that time because ZERO did not write that book.
More mysteries surrounding this guy than in an Agatha Christie novel.
I have recently realized that while Michelle worked for Sidley and Austin, and Barack did a summer internship, I worked for a corporation who used S&L as our attorneys. Big firm, never heard of the Obamas, but an interesting thing to realize.
If they did stay on Bali for months, that raises the question of money. That place isn't cheap, at least during whatever their vacations season is.
