It turns out Barack Obama was dreaming big right from an early age - at just nine-years-old he announced he was going to be the prime minister of Indonesia.
The episode from a new biography of the president's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, reveals the roots of a hunger for power which has driven Mr Obama's heady rise from an eccentric upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia to the White House.
It will bring a wry smile to the faces of 'birthers', who are not satisfied he was born in the U.S.
In A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother, author Janny Scott tells how young Barack - then known by the westernised abbreviation of 'Barry' - was pushed by his mother to reach for the sky right from the start.
Mrs Dunham died when she was just 52, never knowing the incredible heights her son would achieve.

Well, I saw a picture of him and Miss Stanley Ann one Halloween (musta been) where he be dressed up as a pirate....I guess this SOB got his wish - even if he dont’ know who his daddy is.
He hasn't learned anything since then either!
““Barack Obama wanted to be prime minister of Indonesia at tender age of 9””
He would have been the victim of an violent takeover by age 10!
Well, that wish seems to have been fulfilled.
Why would an American brag about wanting to be PM of Indonesia, if they plan to run for President of the United States someday?
Don't you think that might make some Americans suspicious as to your origins?
This new STANLEY book leaves out her communist ties and Frank Marshall Davis.
Obama was set up for a radical US political take over. Ask Farrakhan.
At the rate this country is going, it will be...
“In A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother,”
I assumed the title would be: ‘A Whores Life: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother’
“Either someone was putting this rot in his head from red diaper-hood or he’s a big fat liar.”
I’ll take “Big Fat Liar” for 500 Alex / bgill!
At the tender age of nine he had dreams of his communist father. He is half black. No one really knows who the hell Obama is. So take your STANLEY was a bra burner feminist saint book and cram it.
Does Indonesia have 57 states?
Where are you when we need you, Derek?
Dreams of My Self
and to think the poor thing had to settle for the American DREAM
Why not? He’d love to be able to act like Sukarno.
One thing he, or his mama, didn't know was that Indonesia abolished the Constitutional office of Prime Minister in 1966 (when he was 5). In practice the office had not existed since 1959.
(Me. I'd like to be the Dolphin of France)
I suspect he actually expressed a desire to be President, which had job security - The first lasted 23 years before he was deposed, the second would last 30.
But there was that tricky requirement of having to be an Indonesian citizen from birth.
RE: New book reveals Barack Obama wanted to be prime minister of Indonesia at tender age of 9
No big deal, I dreamed of being Emperor of China at that age. :)
He’s probably legally qualified to be.
Actually not, The office (when it existed) would have had an age requirement of somewhere betweeb 21 and 30.
9 would be right out.
Maybe he meant Imam
oopsie... what is that on line 4? “Islam”
?
I am guessing the Indonesian word for Religion is “Agama”
