What do Barack Obama and Sen. Eric "Salty" Massa have in common? They have both tickled people... to disastrous results. During an interview on Indonesian television, we learned of the time Obama's tickling caused a friend to break his arm.
According to Mediaite, Obama gave the interview to Indonesia's RCTI TV to make up for skipping out on a planned trip to Indonesia. The giggly interviewer's fawning would have even made America's Liberal Mainstream Media blush. (ZING.) Until 1:07, when the interviewer begins probing the darker parts of Obama's Indonesian childhood: "Do you remember breaking someone's arm?" We were hoping for a story about young Obama practicing his Silat movies on a classmate. But, here is actually how it went down:
OBAMA: Yes, I do, actually—by accident.
INTERVIEWER:: You tickled the guy!
OBAMA: We were riding a bike together, uh and, uh, he fell. I was very traumatized, is he OK?
INTERVIEWER: He said you tickled him. You tickle him from the back and [giggle]
OBAMA: And we fell on the bike and, uh, I do remember that.
So, uh, did you tickle the guy? Let's get a little transparency here, Obama. We can imagine the Drudge headline already: 'HE SAID YOU TICKLED HIM'
Ticklegate!
Gootchy gootchy goo!
.
Creepy.
Strange and creepy.
“He said you tickled him. You tickle him from the back and [giggle]... “
“You tickled the guy?” asked Putra Nababan of Indonesia’s RCTI.
Obama appeared to dodge the question.
“He said you tickled him. You tickled him from the back,” pressed Nababan.
“Please tell him that I apologize for that,” said the president. “I felt so bad. I remember feeling terrible.”

“You tickled him from the back....”
In this country, that’s known as a reach-around.
yea he tickled him from behind not using any hands!!! HMMM
At about 17 seconds into the video I thought I heard BO say he used to love Mohamed Atta.
Does anyone else hear that?
I’m glad he was called on it.
Yes. I heard him say “I used to love (a few names)”, and then “I used to love Mohammad Atta”.......
.....is this indonesian for something else?
