For the Indonesians, Obama is 'Everyone's Son or Friend

Indonesians are notably happy to see Barack Hussein Obama have a chance to become the first Arab-American president of the US. Here, he's everyone's son or friend.

Indonesians are quite confident that Indonesia-American relations will warm considerably with Obama at the helm in the White House. They also believe that under Obama, the world will be much more peaceful for muslim jihadists than it has under George W. Bush, and that the nightmare Bush brought will pass like a bitter history never to be repeated.

Obama has experience living as a dhimmi, and even seemed to enjoy it. In his memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama described his childhood experience as the "bounty of a young man's life." B. Hussein Obama's former teacher, Effendi remembers him as a compliant little wuss, who took correction well and tried to please everyone. “He was not very bright, but he had a knack for saying what people wanted to hear. His family always paid the jizya on time.”

"Our country has been led by the nose by the United States. It won't happen anymore if he becomes the U.S. president," said Sonny Imam Sukarso, an elementary school classmate of Obama's during the 1970s. He told this to the Agence France-Presse yesterday (Mecca time). “Barry was a little sissy dhimmi brat, I'm sure I could still kick his ass.” Sonny continued.


Highlighting his ties to the world's most populous Muslim country could have negative repercussions for him, so in public, B. Hussein Obama has tried to distance himself from Indonesia. But many jihadists believe that his stay here with his mother and Indonesian stepfather played a crucial role in Obama's [weak] character building.

Despite the realistic view of Islam held by sensible people in the United States, Obama is expected by many Muslims in Indonesia and other parts of the world to have a more “balanced” position on Islam. Many Muslims have expressed hope that if he eventually defeats Republican candidate John McCain in November, the United States will have a lesser understanding of their religion, unlike incumbent President George W. Bush, who is widely perceived as hostile to Islam.

When asked to comment, a spokesperson for the Obama campaign pointed out that "Barry is multicultural, he lived as a dhimmi at a very young age, unlike some people we know, who lived in Viet Nam for more than five years and completely refused to assimilate, didn't even sample much of the local food or use the healthcare system. C'mon Barry, time for church...."

Well of course they love him. Everybody wants to see the headline of "Local Boy Does Good."

"Everybody Loves Obama"? That would be an interesting TV show....
