Barack Obama To Travel to Indonesia With Family US President Barack Obama and his family will retrace his childhood steps, travelling to Indonesia next month in a nostalgic return to the country where he lived with his late mother and Indonesian stepfather in the 1960s.

02 Feb 2010

The trip, in the second half of March, has been greatly anticipated in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country since Mr Obama's inauguration, which was welcomed in Indonesia as the start of a new era in US diplomacy.

Dino Patti Djalal, a spokesman for Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said the visit was a chance for Mr Obama to set relations on a more equal footing. "We want relations between Indonesia and the United States not only to cover one issue. There used to be an imbalance, only democracy and human rights," he was quoted as saying by Antara state news agency.

I remember WAY back during the campaign that there was a diplomat from an island down there that wanted independence from Indonesia. Rumor had it that he had connections here, and that there was something going on with him, and any paperwork in Indonesia re: Obama. The strangest thing was that after the “interesting” stuff happened, the leader of this Island went back on his demands for independence...

I (as you can tell) do not remember the details of this, but I think it’s probably safe to assume that if incriminating documents existed they are either gone, or possibly even protect and secured in order to have a means to bargain for whatever they want...

I hope someone else here on the thread can remember the situation I am talking about! I can’t even remember the name of the Island or the name of the diplomat!

Anyone happen to know if this is being covering in the foreign press yet, or is it too early?

[hennie pennie]

Perhaps expatguy is familiar with the issue you pose in your posting?

[dusttoyou]

We should watch AF1 take off. How much bullion can it hold even for a log-roll take off? maybe perm vacation.

[LibertyRocks]

Thanks, Hennie! I hope someone one the thread will remember. I had stuff saved on my old computer from throughout the campaign, but lost it all when it crashed...

He is just going back there to tie up some more loose ends that might be vulnerable to a “birther” investigation.

You forgot that she married a man that was already married.

"I took an informal poll of 10 voters last weekend. The group included three college professors and two business owners.

I asked if the names “Barry Soetoro” and “Stanley Ann Dunham” meant anything to them.

Only one knew. When I related the story I was accused of “Making things up” and being a “Whacky Birther.”"

Tis stunning the numbers of ignorant folks out there on this issue!

 

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN'S STATUS BE "GOVERNED" BY GREAT BRITAIN?

 

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Furthermore:  Hawaii's Territorial Law, Chapter 57 - "VITAL STATISTICS, I", shown beginning pg 23 of 29, (the law in effect in 1961) allowed baby's born anywhere in the world to be eligible to apply for a Hawaii birth certificate.

I think that story was first told in expatguy’s blog. I had it bookmarked, but my harddrive crashed and had to start all over. ;-(

Look at Sept. 18, 2008 entry. Is this what you were looking for?

[Jedidah]

Reading that blog entry again, it’s easy to understand the anger directed at Obama from Indonesia recently. He apparently hasn’t made final payment — in cash or favors — promised when they scrubbed his records.

So the trip may have a sinister purpose.

Wonder how many of those records were held back, who has what, and to whom he is beholden.

[Jedidah]

I meant to address Post 91 to you, not to myself.

[LucyT]

Hmmm. Another mystery; check out #81 and #90.

#88 is interesting, too.

Goes to and fro in the earth walking up and down in it.... a restless spirit.

[esquirette]

It’s another clean up job like the Hawaiian junkets.

"Obama: Throwing Papua Under the Bus

In an article entitled "A Forgotten Cause", Peter Tatchell sheds light on the plight of the West Papuans, many of whom are Christians and have suffered under Indonesia's brutal policy of ethnic and religious persecution. The untold story though is how the Obama campaign would sell out the West Papuans in a desperate attempt to protect Obama's presidential bid.

On the 3rd of July 2007, U.S. Congressman Eni Faleomavaega would touch down in Jakarta, Indonesia. A staunch outspoken critic of Jakarta's rule over West Papua, New Guinea and a crusader for West Papua’s right to self-determination, the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asia, The Pacific and the Global Enviroment, Faleomavaega promised to be a force to be reckoned with.

Having been barred from visiting Papau by the Indonesian government, Faleomavaega would instead settle for a private meeting in Jakarta with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Barnabas Suebu the governor for the Indonesian province of Papau. The Papuan issue though wasn't the only thing on Faleomavaega's mind, being one of Barack Obama's most devoted disciples, Faleomavaega would be seeking the Indonesian government's assistance in supporting Barack Obama's presidential campaign as well as making the requisite pilgrimage to Barack Obama's childhood school.

According to our Indonesian sources, "officials" who accompanied Faleomavaega were interested in acquiring any and all documentation or photographs of a young Barry Soetoro for America's "national archives" and they were offering cash, lots of it. In a show of faith, Barack Obama's childhood school would be one of the very first beneficiaries of this outpouring receiving thousands of dollars to upgrade the school and for the purchase of computer equipment, thanks in part to the benevolence of this visiting junket.

The challenge of course was securing Indonesian goverment records potentially damaging to Barack Obama's candidacy for the US presidency as well as other records pertaining to a young Barry Soetoro and his family wouldn't be so easy to acquire and secure, and for this, the visitors would need the assistance and cooperation of the Indonesian government."

Freeze funding to run Air Force One while he is inbound to his destination. Let the SOB figure out how to fuel it up and get home. He is the most abusive politician I've seen in many years. Pelosi as well. Party! Party! The taxpayers will cover it. We're "entitled". Thieving bastards.

As an AFTERTHOUGHT, this sentence was added..

“Mr Obama is also scheduled to visit Australia and US troops stationed in Guam during his trip.”

[toldyou]

“This guy has taken more vacations in one year than the last 5 POTUS combined.”

He and his family have to take advantage of it while we’re still paying for their vacations.
