After their first semester, Obama tried to find a better apartment for himself and his friend, but was only able to locate a studio.

With Obama visiting Indonesia today, the New York Times has a story that is just chock-full of interesting tidbits about Obama's time living there as a child in the late 1960s. For example, the Times reports that back then Obama was "chubby" and that some of the locals referred to him as "the boy who walks like a duck."
Then, of course, there's this:
His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia's relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta's streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.

Finally, the Times relates a story from one of Obama's boyhood friends that some might say presaged the future.
One time, recalled the elder son, Slamet Januadi, now 52, Mr. Obama asked a group of boys whether they wanted to grow up to be president, a soldier or a businessman. A president would own nothing while a soldier would possess weapons and a businessmen would have money, the young Obama explained.
Mr. Januadi and his younger brother, both of whom later joined the Indonesian military, said they wanted to become soldiers. Another boy, a future banker, said he would become a businessman.
"Then Barry said he would become president and order the soldier to guard him and the businessman to use his money to build him something," Mr. Januadi said. "We told him, 'You cheated. You didn't give us those details.' "
"But we all became what we said we would," he said.

agree it is an interesting photo especially the mrs obama who looks very disturbed.
She has to know the scoop on his bisexuality-—must put quite a strain on the marriage along with the his inability to manage a close relationship. wow struggling with his narcissism. I’ll bet he is very cold and closed off most of the time. All she has is the HOPE that he will bring the CHANGE she deeply desires. The hope of a marxist society must keep her going strong!!!
Chaz Bono had a gay nanny (femaile) too, IIRC.
He’s so presidential.
Did Frank Marshall Davis victimize Obama as well? Didn't Obama's mother also do some pornos? There are reports that Obama's grandfather enlisted the services of whores.
This doesn't paint a pretty picture.
Article, and comments through # 46.

Aside from all the more sensational allegations, I find it interesting that he had a nanny and that so many of his fans identify with him because their view of him as underprivileged.
Wonder if POP was the name Obama gave for his gay nanny ?
2012 can't come quick enough.
“Was Obama the victim of gay sexual abuse?”
Hey now! None of that sexual bigotry if you please. Dont you know its called “intergenerational intimacy” now?
