FLASHBACK:
JAKARTA, Indonesia - A statue in a Jakarta park depicting President Obama as a boy has been targeted in a Facebook campaign by thousands who say it should be removed.
The Indonesian-language Facebook group named “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Taman Menteng Park’’ had attracted more than 15,000 members by yesterday....
Not so popular after all, huh?
That CFR agenda-pusher and his MSM conduit didn't tell the truth about anything, did they?
Many Indonesians are proud of the fact that Obama lived in Jakarta from 1967 to 1971 with his American mother, his Indonesian stepfather, and his half-sister.
He went by the name “Barry,’’ attended the local elementary school near where his statue now stands, and owned a pet monkey.
Ron Mullers, a Jakarta resident who came up with the idea for the statue and raised money for it, said it was supposed to inspire local children to follow their dreams.
That doesn't look like an Indonesian name to me.
“It’s ridiculous. I’m shocked,’’ said Mullers, calling the move against the statue political.
Yeah, so am I -- at the never-ending MSM deceptions and lies.
Mullers likened the backlash to the controversy over whether Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama accepted that accolade in Oslo the same day as his statue was unveiled by Jakarta Mayor Sylviana Murni.
Murni ruled out moving the statue, saying that it has been erected with the correct approvals and without political motive.

JAKARTA, Indonesia - The statue dispute notwithstanding, Obama remains extraordinarily popular in Indonesia, where government officials and citizens expressed disappointment that he did not include Indonesia in a trip through Asia last year.
