I'm actually embarrassed to be posting this; however, it is a window for the world to see the Zionist prison, I mean, prism through which we get our news.
"Indonesian Catholic school graduates urge Obama to recall ties" by Andrew Higgins, Washington Post | April 11, 2010
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Long shadowed in America by dark rumors that he attended a radical Muslim school while growing up in Indonesia, President Obama faces pressure from some old school pals to finally come clean about the past.
Now let me get this straight; this is the same press that pees on "birthers."
“The truth is clear,’’ said Indra Madewa, the president’s childhood neighbor, who played daily with the boy he knew as “Barry,’’ a chubby American from Hawaii. “We know he’s busy, but we just want to refresh his memory.’’

Little Barry, huh?
How has your weather been this year, Indonesians?
What Madewa and other old friends want to remind Obama about won’t bring any joy to those in America who contend that the president is a closet Muslim.
(Blog editor just throws up his arms at the subtle deceit and deceptions meant to implant and idea in your mind -- even as they proclaim to deny this straw man they have set up)
The truth, they say, is this:
Truth?
Then I'm nowhere near it, what with this being the newspaper and all.
While Obama went to a mostly Muslim school for less than a year, he spent most of his four years in Indonesia studying at Santo Fransiskus Asisi, a Roman Catholic school run at the time by a stern Dutch priest. Classes began and ended each day with Christian prayers.
So what are they trying to say? He was abused as a... oh, oh, no.
And what is the other part, trying to turn Catholics against Muslims now?
Sorry, I'm just not up the hate for no reason, agenda-pushing MSM.
That Obama went to a Catholic elementary school for a time while living in Jakarta from 1967 to 1971 has long been known. But this part of the presidential biography has largely been reduced to a footnote, thanks to the energetic self-promotion of its rival, Besuki, which is in one of Jakarta’s wealthiest districts.
When the White House made plans for a March presidential trip to the world’s most populous Muslim nation, it scheduled a visit to Besuki, not to the “wrong side of the tracks’’ Catholic school where Obama spent far more time. “They are very good at marketing’’ their presidential ties, said Yustina Amirah, principal of the Asisi school.
Despite Obama’s much deeper ties to Asisi, Besuki has garnered most of the attention — not all of it welcome. During the 2008 campaign, some critics repeatedly asserted that Obama had attended an “Islamic madrassa’’ as a boy in Indonesia.
Even if he did.... he would have bombed it by now.
Oh, I'm sorry, that's points north and west.
Hey, at least it wasn't a yeshiva!
Since the Catholic school seemed an unlikely place to chant the Koran, the spotlight fell on Besuki, which at least had a mosque.
Appalled by suggestions that their alma mater was a hotbed of hard-line Islam, Besuki’s well-connected and often wealthy alumni rallied to set the record straight — and claim Obama as their own. In the process, Santo Fransiskus Asisi (or Saint Francis of Assisi) mostly got written out of the script.
When Obama won the election, the US ambassador to Indonesia, Cameron Hume, visited Besuki, not Asisi. When Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Indonesia in February 2009, Indonesian officials and the US Embassy arranged for pupils from Besuki to greet her at the Jakarta airport. Besuki’s place on the presidential itinerary for the March trip, which has been postponed until later this year, was the latest slight for Asisi.
Fed up with being airbrushed out of the picture, the Catholic school finally decided to push back....
Oh, I'm just so engrossed with this "news(?)."
Church also needs to push back(?) on some other things.
