In their own way, that is. They unveiled a statue of Barry-O as a boy from his time there. Mind you, they just unveiled the thing in central Jakarta’s Menteng Park only a month ago. Locals are protesting that the site should be used for a native Indonesian.

My favorite part is the quote, “Members of the “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park” group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia … Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American.” He won’t likely be doing anything for them in the future, either.
