Purba NEgoro you don’t represent the Indonesans here with you dumb and idiotic comments. Perhaps you shoud join the extremist thugs like Bali Bombers, 9/11 highjackers and Bin-Laden Al-Qaida in there hell world.

I am Indonesian-American and I voted for Obama and I am sure the few Indonesian-Americans here supported him as the first Black President in America. I am well aware Presiden Bush is not popular here and there as remembered by his security tight brief visit there a few years ago. I predict a homecoming welcome for Presiden Obama when he visits Indonesia again by Presiden SBY,his old schoolmates and perhaps the school children in SD Menteng.

PN’s answer speaks volumes about his opinion on a minority becoming the president one day. so enough about that. I’m not sure how the others think though…

But DMan, whenever an American President visits Indonesia, or whenever any heads of state pay a state visit anywhere, you can be rest assured of tight security. There is too much to lose for either party should any mishap occur. It does not matter if the head of state is popular or not.

Enigmatic I don’t know if you are Indonesian or not. I was born in NY,USA so with Barack’s (aka Barry Soetoro) win I am proud to be Indonesia-American with other Asians, Indian, Arab, Hispanic, Black and Whites who voted for him and get beyond color, race, religion to elect him the next President of a multi-racial USA. I can only say Presiden Bush was great during the 9/11 attacks on NY and DC. Many Americans do not agree with Bush handling of the Iraq war and why we are still there. I don’t agree with it and its costing the American tax payers billions of dollars.
Presiden elect Obama has goals to fullfill here with the economy/jobs being number one issue. I got to deal with my own minority status here, but he inspires me to perservere and work twice as hard. I have relatives and friends in Indonesia/Jakarta and I hope for better Indo-US relations in terms of economic and political because Obama grew up there. We don’t need Purba NEgoro and his ilk ideas. He and other Indo’s want to join the Bail Bombers, 9/11 highjackers, Bin Laden, Al-Quada and the Muslim extremist in hell go ahead. Unfortunately that is why I got away from Islam because of the f*king extremists in Indo and the Middle East. I know most Indonesians do not agree with these radicals and I am also proud of Presiden SBY administration since the fall of Suharto. I am hoping for a better Indonesia and America. Aman Tuan

The obamania has come to a point of historically unseen proportions. Women all over the planet are shaving their pubic hair as a silent outcry to the world: Read my lips, no more Bush.

Bad News for all of you…….Obama is the President of the UNITES STATES of which none of you are citizens.

As President of the United States. his main priority is to do what is in the BEST INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES.

So thank you for caring but no thank you….

It is sad that the hopes of one country are pinned on the successes of another.

Obama’s loyalties are to the United States and though he may have some longing memories as a child of kicking a burning coconut around during his nights in Indonesia……he will STILL do what is in the BEST INTEREST of the United States.

Now, that may bother the foreign governments who have, for years, been begging with their hands out to the US but been dogging on us in their media but…..oh well.

As long as Indonesia’s government continues it’s criminal, corrupt ways…..NO country can help, assist or even advise you. Therefore, thanks for showing that you wish you were an American and Obama was your President but he is not your President and your misery will continue until you, as a complete and united people stand up and take control of your government and your country.

Furthermore, Obama is not the king of the USA. Study our government system and you would quickly realize that the President of the USA is marginalized by CONGRESS. And congress, under Obama, will dictate what USA scraps and crumbs Indonesia receives.

PS. For the uneducated bloggers who think that Bush’s visit here was a cost to Indonesia…….AGAIN……learn some US government.

The pissy $800,000 your country spent (was actually $550,000…so guess y’all got screwed out of yet another $250,000) for Bush to come…was reimbursed by the tax dollars of hard-working Americans (as all Presidential visits are) and a check was delivered to the government of Indonesia for complete reimbursement of President Bush’s visit here.

This, of course, is public information in the USA and thusly, you, the uneducated Indonesian can use the internet and read the congressional report yourself.

Taxpayer.

Shame on you. Barry Soetoro has not forgotten his adopted homeland. According to Barry, within 100 days of him getting Rule of the USA, he will come to Jakarta, Indonesia and address all Muslims Apologizing for all the Horrible things that the US has done to them in the past. He will also ask for a bright future Between the US and all his Muslim Brothers and Sisters. He will then open the borders so all citizens of the world can join the US in Glorious Islamic Socialism.

Well the “mania” started up again with the inauguration, apparently every single channel on Indonesian tv carried the speech….I heard bits of it on the radio, cynical as I am about all this “hope” and “change” stuff I was kind of impressed and surprised by this bit

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh

I mean the fact that he included the Battle of Khe Sanh in his list of heroic battles, wouldn’t normally expect an American left-winger to do that, unless things have changed in a way I’m not aware of.. Or maybe he’ll just say anything to please anyone like a good politician. Here be the speech.

To quote The Boss:

“Had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fighting off them Viet Cong
They’re still there
He’s all gone…”

I think the thing that has changed is the recognition that the ordinary soldiers in Vietnam got screwed, over there and then back at home. Obama, like Bruce, is on the side of the disaffected veteran. A country fit for heroes, and all that.

@ taxpayer

Eat your heart out. Whether you like it or not, Obama won office because of his Javanese connection. Sooner or later, American will adopt our Pancasila philosophy, and there is nothing you can do about it.
