Boob Belt Unravels

Back in December, I posted an entry on a statue erected in honor of Barry Soetero, AKA Prez Obama, by the city of Jakarta. I also posted an update a few days later detailing the Facebook campaign launched in protest. Apparently, they have been effective:

Indonesian authorities said Monday they are considering a petition to tear down a statue of US President Barack Obama as a boy, only a month after the bronze was unveiled in Jakarta.

The Facebook group has been very critical of the statue, believing the site should have been used to honor an Indonesian instead of a foreigner who happened to have lived there for a short time.

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.

Yep….Prez Obama is just some dude who lived there for a few years, not an Indonesian hero or wunderkind. I wonder what will be the reaction when he and the Roya– I mean, the First Family go for a visit?? Pure sugary goodness!!!!

Update From the Boob Belt

If you recall, I wrote a post about a statue of President Barack Obama erected in Jakarta, Indonesia last week. Turns out not everyone in Indonesia is pleased about it:

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A statue of President Barack Obama as a boy erected in a Jakarta park has been targeted in a Facebook campaign by thousands who say it should be removed.

The Facebook group named “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Taman Menteng Park” had attracted more than 10,000 members by Tuesday since the 43-inch statue of 10-year-old Obama dressed in shorts and a T-shirt was unveiled in the downtown park on Thursday last week.

Now, this is how one should use a social working site! Moving along….
