Obama made the statement in Indonesia's native tongue during a speech at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesia on Wednesday.

Sambal oleck is thai!
Hot damn thai!
Of course it is. He was immersed in the language, both at school, and in living with an Indonesian father. I suspect he does not stammer in Indonesian.
we know we know . . . indonesia is a part of him, kenya is a part of him, islam is a part of him, rev. wright is a part of him . . . is America a part of him, this guy sitting in the White House calling himself our president and commander-in-chief???
Obama is a jelly donut.
That would be a big fat no.
I can also read a lot of foreign languages as they appear before me on screen...
Ich bin ein Kenyan.
>>I can also read a lot of foreign languages as they appear before me on screen...<<
It was either “Ooh eee ooh ahah ting tang wallwala bing bang...”
Or
“Poolu See Pacumba!”
(bonus points for those who know what the latter is and says)
This is a case of him putting the Jakarta before the horse’s patut. (sp?)
That is the issue with Obama.
We all have connections to remote lands that we keep alive.
But our allegiance is to America.
We are Americans.
Obama is trying to be all things to all people and he failed America first.
What has he brought Indonesia?
Nothing. I know folks that dedicated their lives to giving the poor children there an education so that they could have a voice among folks like Suharto.
What has he done for India?
Nothing.
What has he done for the African American?
Nothing!
Obama is a rich white boy pretending to be black.
The guy is a chameleon with no allegiance but the need to have power.
What is Obama doing?
He speaks Dumb ass
Why do you think English is a native tongue? He can’t say much without a teleprompter. For some strange reason, I doubt he used or needed a teleprompter in Indonesia.
I agree with the desire for power but in my opinion he unmasked himself on the rest of it. He leans Muslim and Communist. Not a good combination.
Stay!
Sit!
He hates America, even as the juice drips down his chin.
He is the worst kind.
He probably spoke Indonesian Malay when he was living there. He seems to echo well. That is he can repeat back a word or phrase in another language exactly as he hears it. Such people learn languages easily when they need them and they lose them just as quickly. I do that. When I was 8 years old and lived in Istanbul I could speak Turkish like a native. I remember almost none of it. When I talk to a Turkish person, if he tries, he can drag phrases out of me that I could not remember on my own. I could not truthfully say I speak any Turkish now.
Soetoro’s earlier perfect recitation of the Muezzin’s call is probably a bit of Arabic that he has consciously maintained. I have no doubt that he also learned some Arabic in school in Indonesia. It is integral with study of the Koran.
