The Central Jakarta administration will move the controversial "Little Barry" statue from its current location at Taman Menteng in Central Jakarta to state elementary school SDN 01 Menteng next week, an official says.
"We are currently discussing with officials from the school and its alumni association," city spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia told reporters Friday. "We hope the move will happen next week."
US President Barack Obama attended the elementary school for almost two years when he spent part of his childhood in Jakarta.
Erected by the Jakarta-based Friends of Obama Foundation in December last year, the statue, which resembles Obama as a boy, recently sparked wide public criticism for insulting the nation's pride.
Just a few days after the Central Jakarta municipality unveiled the statue at Menteng Park, experts and a group of Facebook users demanded it be dismantled.
On Wednesday, the Central Jakarta District Court held a hearing to try a class action lawsuit by five plaintiffs representing 50,000 members of the "Take down the Barack Obama statue from Menteng Park" group on Facebook.
The five plaintiffs - Heru Nugroho, Protus Tanuhandaru, Daniel Rudi Haryanto, Andes Soesman and FX Agung Bimo Sutedjo - filed the suit against Jakarta governor, Central Jakarta mayor and the Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Agency, saying the statue didn't deserve a place at the park and should be immediately removed.
Although appreciating the administration's plan to remove the statue, Heru said the group would go ahead with its lawsuit.
"We will only withdraw the lawsuit if the city administration publicly apologizes for its one-sided decision to permit the statue," he told The Jakarta Post.
Hawaiian-born Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of six to live with his mother, Ann Dunham, and Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro.
Obama attended third grade at the school in 1968. He returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.

His nose in the left photo looks swollen, almost as if he’d been hit there.

Jakarta - While Barack Obama little naughty, but
in the eyes of caregivers, the U.S. presidential candidates are fairly good.
Even so good, as is often teased
‘black monkey’, the indigenous children, Obama replied with a smile.
Call pitched mockery
Menteng children were thrown in as little as Obama often climb the mango tree in
front of his house. S When picking mangoes, he often
threw to passersby, including children age.
“He
often climbed mango trees around the house, he often picked the fruit. I wrote
often forced to climb, too. He may be bad as people threw fruit. Actually, he
meant to give to people,” said Lia (47) aka Mbak Nun who met in rented on the
road safety No. 9, RT 007 RW 02, Manggarai Selatan, Tebet, South Jakarta, Friday
(12/9/2008).
“Yes because Barry (small calls Obama) do not
understand our language (Indonesian) he laughed wrote,” clearly Mbak Noon.
“I said do not be mad, because his skin is black. He was mischievous, but good, she was often
speak English with her mother,” he said.
Noon own ya know only a small Obama in the environment
in Menteng Dalam has only two friends who often play, which one the children of
the Caucasians and other people of Papua.
Obama often often breaking things in the
house.The
reason, the children’s age Obama, often running around the house.
When was
that, Mother Any (Obama’s own mother) immediately punished.
“A lot of damaged goods at Barry, he often
ran-running as well. Nakal really for kids sizes, so laundry and other helpers
are often angry with him,” he explained.
Because so annoyed, Mbak Nun Obama
claimed to have persuaded the small to eat great chili red. Tidak pelak lagi,
Obama pun menangis dan mukanya merah karena kepedasan. No doubt, Obama was
crying and his face was red because of spiciness.
“I asked as Mr. Lolo, why Barry cry. I said, I love chili,
abis Barry ketulungan not naughty, but you is not mad at that,” he recalls.
Never read that before ... I think I’d remember the migraine. LOL!
Some interesting stuff there, I think. :)
“I thought Barry was a woman”
Oh,
Barry is if you want to sleep, I had to play with until he fell asleep, even
late into the night. If I fall asleep there jailnya wrote, he said.
Lolo and Ann employed a 12 year old nanny?
Sounds like child exploitation to me.
Barry was a brat, it seems.

One of these days!!!
Thanks for the ping.
She can be an American citizen, in the eyes of US Law, if not Indonesian, because she was born outside the US of a US Citizen parent and an alien parent, and by then Stanley Ann was elibible to pass US citizenship on to her child. She was not when Barry was born, if he was born outside the US. But it's not citizenship that is at issue, if born in the US Barry is a citizen, and telling the Indonesian authorities otherwise doesn't change that. However since his father was not a citizen, ever, unless he's lying about who that was, he cannot be a Natural Born Citizen regardless of where he was born.
Inoue is a Japanese name, different spelling of same name as Senator Inouye from Hawaii, who served in the all "Japanese" 442nd regimental combat team (originally Hawaii National Guard) in Italy and France in WW-II where he was very seriously injured.
Could be, or it could be that he got whacked with a basketball shortly before the first photo was taken. Been there done that. Twice... well once was a football, broke my glasses frame both times.
CORRECTION: same little JAPANESE BOY
I thought that Ann returned to Hawaii to give birth to Maya?? I thought she was born in Honolulu?? And that it was HER long form BC that became the template to make photoshopped forgeries of a BC for her half brother, BHO?
Anyone happen to know if there is a proper English translation of this NEW article, anywhere, available?
Little Barry was locked in the bathroom and not given food???? Huh? BEATEN by Ann with the rattan handle of the duster???
What else does this woman know about the Soetoro family??? WHERE is she now?
It is absolutely PREPOSTEROUS that nobody in the mainstream media has interviewed this woman. MAYBE there is more in the foreign press, somewhere else, another country????
The MSM covered for Clinton for as long as possible, but eventually the truth leaked out. They covered for john edwards for quite a while until they got behind obama. When they figured edwards was of no use to them, he got outed. The MSM openly campaigned for obama. They were his propaganda arm. They are never going to admit they were wrong. But the truth on kenya/indonesia boy will eventually sneak out. You will know what is true based on how hard the obama media fights against it. They just can’t help it.
Thanks hennie pennie.
locked up and not fed and the caregiver gave him food through the bathroom window sometimes even though punishment was to be locked up with him if caught.
I can’t figure out this one
“Another Obamas misbehavior, said Mbak Nun, when he
was showered often flushed itself into wet. That naughty Barry if you want to get to school, he likes when
its bath water to me guyur up soaking wet, but I had a bath and wear, yes
finally more frequent change, he said.”
First I have heard of this.
barry’s head is big in many photos..look again at the one with Lolo Ann and maya as a baby where they are sitting down.
take into account that he had surgery at some point on his skull. I dont think it was when he was a baby..but if so..may be had something wrong with his head at birth. One photo looks like he has a shunt.
It's a very strange pic.
??????
I wish we had a freeper who could translate for us.
Ohhhhh They’d be on it in droves if it had to do anything to do with somebody in the Palin family getting switched...and even if it were 30 years ago, too.
Bowing to foreign dictators and others will eventually get you this disdain and lack of respect. Especially as anyone with half a brain knows particularly about here in ASIA. How foolish, these naive, over-benevolent bowing and scraping Americn libs and their perverted, unrealistic world view, and their embarrassment of American Power. What goes around comes around.
This was all predictable, and will get worse.
Hmm, no on all counts. Starting with the last.
Most likely the posted Certification of Live Birth that was posted was just made up of whole cloth, in a graphics program like Photoshop, not "copied" from any other COLB. But in any event, that is not the "Long Form" the long form from the early 60s looks like this:

While this is the posted COLB

As you can see they are two different forms entirely.
All reports indicate she was born in Indonesia.
Never heard of S. A. returing to Hawaii for Maya's birth. Has anyone else? According to Obama.net, and many other sources/ She was born on August 15th, 1970 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Thank you, El Gato, for correcting me, I was mistaken — but isn’t Maya an American citizen, NOW???
yOU FIND SOME TRULY GOOD THREADS! tHANKS pENNIE

Lia (47) alias Mbak Nun
Not just beaten with the rattan but locked in the bathroom until night.
Lia also tells the story of how she was punished together with young Barry by Ann Soetoro for simply bringing him outside food to eat.
Barry's mother Ann liked to lock him in the bathroom and Lia would pity him and give him food through the bathroom window.
Locking a kid up in the bathroom and then not releasing him until the next afternoon is pretty damn cruel.
The Indonesian story of Lia (Mbak Nun) is not kind at all to Obama's mother Ann at all.
You can expect to see a lot more of these stories from the Indonesian media, none of them will be covered by the US MSM you can be assured of that.
There is a LOT more you are going to learn about Obama in the days ahead including a lot concerning his religion. The Indonesian government intends to treat him not just as a visiting head of state but as a fellow muslim in their own protocol.
Im hoping I can get some time to work on this and give updates concerning the trip.
I have seriously wondered about Stanley Ann, ever since I heard that she'd waken Barry every morning at 4 am and make him read aloud english language books. Much less that she dumped him with his grandparents at age 10.
It doesn't surprise me to learn that she also would lock him in the bathroom overnight without any food, as a punitive measure.
NO wonder we now have a TOTUS -- that's ALL he was trained in childhood, was to Read Aloud with Perfect Enunciation. He's Batterred Barry, spawn of Mommy Dearest.
Don’t miss expatguy’s post, just w@w!!!!

Expat, please keep us updated.
Could we have found a candidate with more personal baggage????
Re: the link in post #54 —
the story about the flight to Norway and good-guy Obama picking up the excess baggage tab for “Mary” — have we heard before about him traveling to Norway in 1988? Or did I misread, and he was just standing in line and not boarding?
Where did he get this traveling money, enough to spread cash around benevolently, when he had, according to the article, just left a low-paying “community organizer” job to return to school?
Something I haven’t seen before. Anyone else have info or thoughts?
She was 10? or 12? when she worked for Lolo and Stanley Ann as a Nanny for a 10 year old.
A 10 or 12 year old nanny often locked in the bathroom with 10 year old Barry. How big were Indonesian bathrooms at the time? Were they closets with a toilet?
Damn, I thought I came from a dysfunctional family.:-)
Look at the distortion on Aug. 5 right above Obama’s announcement.
I work with a guy who’s been printing newspapers for over half a century. He showed me how they did the linotype. They used metal letters, sort of like the old typewriters had the metal letters which impacted the ink ribbon to leave the letter on the paper. When they typed a letter on the linotype machine it released a metal letter from a cache which fell into place in a line of letters. When the line was done the metal letters were secured together with hot lead. So each line was its own specially-made “stamp”.
The lines were placed one above the other inside a metal frame. Everything had to be very tight. And then the small frames were held together inside a frame that was the size of the page. That frame was placed on the press and the papers were pressed up against that inked frame to make the image on the paper.
So when you see the frames on the page that’s exactly what it was - a metal frame.
If you look on this paper you’ll see that the announcements are uninterrupted going down - just one line of type following another - until an ad breaks up the continuity.
Some of the lines don’t show up clearly. I imagine that’s normal when microfilms are made. But the EXTRA lines we see would have to come from the microfilm machine or from a copy machine. Vertical lines could come from wear and tear of the reader on the films. I’m not so sure what would cause horizontal lines.
Maybe somebody who’s worked with microfilm could help us out on that.
But the placement of a horizontal line right before and after Obama and the Asing announcement, coupled with the distortion on just the words right above that top horizontal line do look fishy to me. We know the horizontal line is not from the frames because it actually crosses out some of the words on the far right side of the page.
Just eye-balling it, the whole left-hand column doesn’t look square with the rest of the columns.
Oh great, now he can play the wounded deer. Poor little Barry, a victim of child abuse. Excuses for what an effed up Marxist he is now.
Clue... forget the microfilm.... actual old newspapers from that date...that will bust Barry.
Heh.
Yes. It’s the lines that give it away....Look at HGTV the header for several programs use fake ad pages....They use the lines as they appeared in the old time papers. The lines on these two are a dead give away that the announcements were altered.
Adds are created differently than the news....”strippers” cut and paste the ads in place creating the lines.
Yeah, the Obama newspaper announcements look like they have the tell-tale signs of being cut and paste jobs.
Agreed. So far we haven’t found any place that has actual paper copies of the newspapers. Surprise, surprise.
“Yeah, the Obama newspaper announcements look like they have the tell-tale signs of being cut and paste jobs.”
Well, Obama is our first cut & paste POTUS.
Linotype would have been used in 1961.
Linotype machines were phased out in the 70s and replaced by offset printing, which used computer-produced copy that was cut, waxed, and adhered to a mock-up of the page, which was then photographed. The full-sized negative was then used to produce the final print.
Were it not for the fact that the horizontal line extends across all columns, not just the one with the Obama birth announcement, I would strongly suspect that the Obama announcement was cut and pasted.
However, that line does reach across columns. No way to tell from here what caused it. Once again, we’d have to see an original newsprint of that date to know.
The Hawaii newspapers almost certainly keep originals in their morgues, but who has access?
