It was only one month ago that a fabulous bronze statue was unveiled in Jakarta, Indonesia of President Obama. The statue of “Little Barry” depicts Obama as a young boy when he lived in Indonesia for four years.
Now, there is growing discontent with the statue and some are calling for its removal or relocation.
More than 55,000 people have joined a Facebook page demanding the government take down the statue.
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," the web page says.
"For the dignity of a sovereign nation, Barack Obama’s monument in Menteng Park must be removed immediately."
The childhood connection and his knowledge of a few words of Indonesian made Obama popular in the mainly Muslim country of 234 million people.
I’m just wondering what exactly they thought Barry was going to do for them. It really is amazing how much phony hype there was surrounding Barack Obama when he became president.
