President Obama Wanted to Be Prime Minister of Indonesia
New York Mag ^ | 4/20/11 | Dan Amira

Posted on 04/27/2011 7:55:37 AM PDT by sevinufnine

Obama wasn't always so reserved: In one anecdote, a household servant, Saman, tells of an 8- or 9-year-old Obama hitting him twice in the chest for not turning out a light as he'd requested. Perhaps Obama learned to dole out such punishment from his mother, who, according to two sources, would spank Obama with her hand or a belt if he misbehaved or failed to finish his homework. (Obama denies his mom used such parenting tactics.)

Then there's this anecdote:

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” [Obama's stepfather] Lolo asked Barry one evening, according to Saman.

“Oh, prime minister,” Barry answered.

It would seem that at that point in his childhood, Obama assumed his stay in Indonesia was permanent and envisioned his future there. But concerned about his education, Stanley Ann sent Obama back to Hawaii when he was 10, and he would have to settle for becoming president of the United States instead.

To be President of Indonesia, the requirements are:

The Presidential candidate has to be an Indonesian citizen since his/her birth, who has not willingly become a citizen in another nation, has not betrayed the nation, and is physically and mentally capable of performing the duties. Amended Constitution also states that further criteria will be determined by laws. The President is also required to be nominated by a Political Party or a coalition of Political Parties.

2008 Law No. 42 about Presidential and Vice Presidential Election: The Presidential candidate must be:

(this is an excerpt of what is required...interesting)

1.Believe in the one and only God; 2.an Indonesian citizen since his/her birth, who has not willingly become a citizen in another nation; 4. a permanent resident in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia;

Seems Zero wanted to be an “important leader” for himself regardless of country...not FOR any country and its people.

His hunger for power was there at an early age. He didn't care where he was. He just had to have POWER.

Remember when people served this country because it was this country?

And based on Hawaii’s extremely loose laws on obtaining a birth certificate...all he has to do was have one drawn up saying he was born in Indonesia but claimed duel citizenship. Not sure Indonesia would have been so eager to accept based on their laws though.

I never thought I would see the day that we go back to when someone was 7 or 8 years old. We always joke on Free Republic that they are going to find a story of Sarah Palin sticking out her tongue at a 10 year old boy when she was 8. Are we seriously going back to a servant who may have heard a 7 year old say something. Wow. This is low for real. I hope that we don’t take this story seriously.

Hey, I thought Obama was dirt poor even in a foreign country. Now he has servants who he hits.

yes, I do remember when most of our leaders loved America and its Constitution. My family came here in the mid-1700’s and fought in the Revolution...so to listen to Zero spout all this amnesty and “I’m an American” crap turns my stomach. American is a state of mind and being...NOT where you were spit out of your mom’s womb. I mean..if I attend the olympics every 4 yrs. does that make me a world class athlete?

I think it says a lot more about his mom’s ambitions for him than for 000’s own “native” ambition....

THOUGHTS????

Having renounced his American citizenship, as an Indonesian citizen, that is what he aspired to. When he found that the public could be easily hoodwinked, and kept at bay with political correctness, he decided to become king of amerika.

Napscoordinator, you have MUCH to learn about life. I child has already formed his or her ways of thinking by the time they are 5 to 6 years old based on their home environment or lack of it...and their surroundings (society). This shows the type of personality he was going to have as an adult. Few folks escape this.

YOu should know children who kill animals and/or pets more often than not grow up to be killers at worst and abusive spouses at best. Obama was already acting out in anger at that young of an age...so you dismiss it if you wish, but it’s important to see what he was to become IMO> His anger shows today. Just look at his expression and pompus behavior.

Obama’s father was not an American citizen. How could Obama or whatever his name is be qualified to be president?

As I read different threads throughout the birth certificate issue, there are many that actually agree with me and some that don’t. We can say it over and over that he is not qualified for the job and not eligible for the job but until the masses agree we just talk. Releasing grades, passport, financial aid records would be nice for him to release but not mandatory. The only reason he released the birth certificate is because it is a requirement for President and he wants this over for 2012. Trump needs to release his tax returns before Obama releases anything else. I think it would be cool if each one releases something every week and just rotate.

He's not, but apparently Trump is going to let that slide, just like everyone else. My question is still, why are there two different long-forms floating around, the other saying "born in Kenya"?

Ah, yes. So easy for a 7 year old to renounce his citizenship.

Well, if he traveled to Pakistan as a college? student under an Indonesian passport, then he continued to claim to be an Indonesian National. Got a smart-ass answer to that?

Assuming what you said is true, and I automatically doubt it considering how you got pwned today by Obama, they are many people with dual citizenship. If your grandma is from [insert country] in many you could get a passport from that country. Or if you live a child for x years in a country you may gt a passport from them. They are many rules and regulations so these are best left to the State Department and lawyers, not loony conspiracy theorists with nothing better to do. Look at what you birthers said and did, all these theories only to be crushed in a minute by obambi.
