Ever imagined you would get to see the most powerful man in the world clad in a Javanese sarong, possibly even donning rubber sandals? A treat is definitely in store for those who have.

According to Central Java Governor Bibit Waluyo, sarongs will remain the order of the day for all visitors to Central Java’s famed Borobudur Temple, including US President Barack Obama, his wife, first lady, Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia.

“I have received information from the Foreign Ministry that the US President, his wife Michelle and two daughters are scheduled to visit Candi Borobudur on March 22. The [state] visit aside, even the US president’s family must follow the existing regulations applied within the confines of the temple,” Bibit said on Friday.

I’ve never seen a boob belt/sarong combo. Should be interesting

Good Lord, I need my eyes checked - at first I thought the title said they would be wearing THONGS.

Let’s see - pencil in the Optometrist right after I clean up the vomit....

And a couple of paper bags for good measure.

I visited Borobudur back in the 1970s. These are new rules.

Of course. The boob belt will hold it up. Everyone with a sarong should have one.

Only Obama would go along with this. Bowing, now ‘Saronging’. As long as it’s not America he’ll be only to glad to bend over. Embarrassment of a president that he is.

Another extended family vacation? What’s the count up to now? Guess I’ll get to pay for the rubber sandals. Well, at least it’s that many more days he’s out of my WH.

what is seen..cannot be unseen

How sophisticated these obamas are, imagine going native when visiting the 3rd world. obama better not bow too deep in a sarong

Maybe they should stop in Africa on the way home, imagine meshell dressed as one of the wives of the zulu king

This doesn’t look like a trip on behalf of the interests of the American people, it’s another stinking vacation paid for by us. We need to get rid of this piece of freeloading trash one way or another.
