Hey, I want to know how this dude can be “African-American” when his mother was white. Has she been thrown under the bus as others. And I recall reading somewhere that he is more Arab than black. I know I’d be pissed if this was the representative of my race.

There are Obama look-alikes of a number of ethnic backgrounds. But the media tells the public what they want to hear:
At least one is Indonesian.

Re: the statue, it was paid for by loony Yanks here in Jakarta. Ron MULLERS, who is the chairman of Friends of Obama, owns a franchise chain of pizza parlours and some Mexican restaurants, is a naturalised American of South African origin.
For the past two days, the JAKARTA POST has run articles about a nascent movement to have the statue removed. There have been ~8 000 anti-statue posts on a facebook site set up for same purpose.
