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.

BINGO!
my thoughts exactly considering:
"He also acknowledged that the visit would have a "sentimental" aspect for Obama, who went to primary school from 1967 to 1971 in the wealthy neighbourhood of Menteng, where a statue of the US president as a schoolboy was erected in December."
Is he going to replace the statue the locals tore down recently?
Maybe he’ll decide to stay ... I’m very fond of satay, myself.
Obama needs his adoration fix.
At home he is being rightfully SHUNNED.
Can we trade King Zero for his boy statue? We’ll $ave trillion$.
Maybe catch up with his old teachers at the maddrassa he attended as a youth?
He wants to save the statue?

I had the same thought.
Returning to his Muslim roots to hear “the most beautiful sound in the world.” Get ready for a lot more bowing.
I was thinking the same thing, but wont get my hopes up.
Don’t forget Kenya, Barack.
“The bad news is... he’s coming back.”
Security is tougher there. Lots of bombings...
I’m just saying.
Hmm ... Exile?
Cannot believe this moron is planning another international jaunt, just to make a trip down memory lane. This on the day his budget is being exposed for the tax-laden socialist piece of crap that it is. Is there no limit on the contempt he and his clown posse will be allowed to get away with???
Obama is only going so he can campaign to keep the statue of himself as a child from being taken down.
He’ll probably breathe on the statue and cause it to speak.

Indonesian school enrollment:
“Obama is registered under the name Barry Soetoro by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. The school card lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His religion is listed as Muslim.
“
This enrollment actually lists his “father” as “Lolo Soetoro”
Is this trip really necessary? Is Obozo doing the business of this country, or just out to get all the free travel he can get at our expense? This is BS, and Obozo is a usurper.
