PBS's 'FRONTLINE' interviewed former Barack Obama classmate, Kristen Caldwell. She grew up and attended Punahou School with "Barry" Obama. She recalls how as a young child, Obama alternatively told classmates he was an Indonesian prince or Kenyan royalty.
[...]
So yeah, I can picture him as this slightly -- "chubby" is too strong, but rounded, short little guy, Barry Obama. And he told us that his father was an Indonesian king and that he was a prince, and after he finished school he was going to go back, and he would be a ruler in Indonesia. And I absolutely believed him.
I understand that he told his fifth-grade class that he was Kenyan royalty, but I never heard that story until years later. My sister and I remember very clearly that he was an Indonesian prince and that he would be going back there. So there was some reference to where he had come from, and the understanding was his family was there.

Nice image.
Do you have a key for that? There are a couple I can’t figure out.
I grew up in that neighborhood. It’s in Queens. (but I am not a prince) That wide street is Queens Blvd. The building behind Murphy’s head is the Elk’s Club. The FF joint is (was?) a Wendy’s.
Kenyan Royalty...does that rank somewhere below Queen of the Doublewide?
first dibs on the hapless sweet meat
I had my car stereo and alarm installed at a shop a block away from there. I’ve lived in Queens since 1970.
Kenya’s been a democracy since the 1960s, at least by African standards. Maybe’s he’s the son of a deposed Kenyan monarch? Did he send me an e-mail? Well, I’m not giving him my banking info.

BTW: freeper Slyfox posted the image before I did (a few weeks ago). That is where I first saw it.
The original is here.
The guy who did the parody is as good an artist, if not better, than the original. It’s really an incredible piece of artwork.
Here again is his website, assuming he’s the one who actually did the art...it might say so somewhere there.
