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.

The jokes just write themselves. But, I'm sure you can come up with some better ones.

[Borax Queen]

What a psychotic freakshow.

[vpintheak]

This is our president folks....

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Obama a “prince” , “royalty”, etc.?

How about a “Fairy Princess”?

Does a “Prima Donna” quality as royalty?

How about “OBOZO, the Crown Prince of the Circus”?

[Batman11]

Cue the ‘Coming To America’ lines!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Should have been “OBOZO,, the CLOWN PRINCE OF THE CIRCUS” but I can live “CROWN PRINCE OF THE CIRCUS”.

[Slyfox]

Kenyan royalty, yeah right!

[tumblindice]

Lord Douchebag.

[Ms Mable]

Yep, he even wrote “King Obama” in wet cement outside his school.

[BenLurkin]

After how many bong hits, did he make said claim?

[gaijin]

I think Indonesian Princes are entitled to transvestite retainers...?

[KC_Lion]

I always Knew Ubama suffered from "Napoleon Delusion"

[Chickensoup]

Africans are like feather-indians. Every tribe has a leader and all the leaders children are considered in Englsih terms to be princes and princessess.

After ROOTS every black in the country was told repeatedly that they were royalty.

[al baby]

You mean concrete

[Diogenesis]

Obama has LIED to everyone.

And the treasonous US Congress LOVES him for it.

[justlurking]

Yep, he even wrote “King Obama” in wet cement outside his school.

Wow, you weren't kidding:

[Batman11]

This is what Romney should say to the Prince of Zamunda at the next debate: “ I don’t give a damn who you are. This is America, Jack. Now, you say one more word, and I’ll break my foot off in your royal ass!

“After how many bong hits, did he make said claim?”

Pack me another, just like the other.

[Hardraade]
