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.

Once again "the best and the brightest" prove to be the worst and the stupid.
At best this is another tropical vacay for Barry at taxpayer expense during the worst recession in decades. Yeah, that'll play well.
At worst this will remind people Barry didn't spend his childhood in America just as his poll numbers are falling through the floor.
Keep it up Barry, we're lovin' it!

Since I believe Indonesia was going to take it down, he’ll probably bring it back with him and have it placed out front of the White House.

Roots! The Indonesian years.

This president, so worried about global warming has made and is making the largest carbon footprint of any HUMAN, not just president, ever.p>Obama and Pelosi could trim the deficit enormously by staying home and tending to business once in a while.
