Is it a Comedy, a Musical, or a Horror Movie? A new movie titled Little Obama (Obama Anak Mentang), chronicling the time President Barack Obama lived in Indonesia as a boy, has opened in Jakarta. The director says the film shows a young Barack Obama becoming the leader he is today. At the premier of the movie Little Obama in Jakarta, children from the school President Obama attended when he lived in Indonesia as a child, sang and danced. Invited guests also had their pictures taken with a look-alike of the adult president. But the main event was the screening of the film about the lessons a young Barry Obama, as he was then known, learned while living in Jakarta in the early 1970s. From his Indonesian stepfather young Barry learned to fight when he must. From his mother he learned to forgive. In the movie there is action and a touch of romance. The film's director, Damien Dematra, says Little Obama is based on actual events but it is also a movie with a message. "The importance of differences, of pluralism. That it is okay to be different, you know. When we are different it does not mean we have to fight and number two do not use violence, that violence will not only solve the problem," he said. The part of young Barry Obama was played by 12-year-old American Hasan Faruq Ali, who had never acted in a movie before. Like President Obama, he is the son of a mixed-race couple and moved from the United States to Indonesia as a toddler. "I feel really lucky because the first ...

What are the implications of Obama's decision to postpone his visit to Australia and Indonesia? Geoffrey Garrett says it is not a snub by Obama because health care reform must be his priority. Garrett says that Obama will certainly visit Indonesia soon because it is the most important country that America knows little about and developing US-Indonesian relations is a high priority. Geoffrey Garrett is the Chief Executive Officer and Professor of US Politics at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney.

As Barack Obama marks his first anniversary as US president, Al Jazeera is looking at the impact of his presidency inside the US and around the world. Obama spent part of his childhood in Indonesia and he has been hailed by some there as a local hero. But one year on, his popularity has dipped. Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Jakarta. (19 Jan, 10)
Obama has admitted traveling to Indonesia and other foreign nations all through his college years, but, how did he do this? He didn't have a US passport until he was issued one as a US Senator. World Net Daily columnist Janet Porter, wrote in her column on 25 Nov 2008 "No record of Obama holding an American passport prior to the one he received once becoming a US senator has been found." "If Obama would have been a US citizen, 8 USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by native born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state ... after having attained the age of eighteen years," in violation of 8 USC §1401(a)(1). Simply put, since Indonesia did not allow for dual citizenship, if Obama got that passport in 1981, when he was 20 years old, he effectively renounced any US citizenship he may have had."
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Before I comment on todays meeting in Geneva, I want to say a few words about the recent tragic events in the Pacific. On behalf of the American people, I want to once again extend my deepest condolences to the people of American Samoa and Samoa for the terrible loss of life and the devastation that took place after the recent earthquake and tsunami. Ive spoken to the governor and delegate from American Samoa, and we continue to provide the full support of the federal government for relief efforts there. I have also directed the State Department to provide the assistance necessary to help Samoa recover as well. Were also deeply moved by the suffering and loss of life thats been caused by the recent earthquake in West Sumatra. And my administration has been in touch with the government of Indonesia to make it clear that the United States stands ready to help in this time of need, and Ive ordered my administration to coordinate with the ongoing relief and recovery efforts there. Indonesia is an extraordinary country thats known extraordinary hardship from natural disasters. I know firsthand that the Indonesian people are strong and resilient and have the spirit to overcome this enormous challenge. And as they do, they need to know that America will be their friend and partner. Today, in Geneva, the United States - along with our fellow permanent members of the UN Security Council - namely, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom, as well ...
