Write Everyday At Blogger

Although it is a little bit late, I finally write about Barrack Obama. First I was confused of what to write about him. If I write about how he beat Clinton in several occassions, i think the guys in AFP or in CNN will beat the hell of me. So, eventually I will write about him from an Indonesian point of view, that is from mine.

Attended an Indonesian School

The US Senator really got people around the globe on their ear and that include us - Indonesian. And people here even got more exited to learn his connection with Indonesian

We learned that he attended a public school in Jakarta. That fact was so interesting that make every media - tv, radio, newspaper - try to dig his traces. Reporters were beginning to ask teachers at that school and most of them didn't know Obama in person that's because all the teachers that knew him have already got old or even died.

Lived in An Indonesian Neighbourhood

The house where he spent some of his childhood was visited and photographed. Neighbours talked about how he was a centre of attraction since he was bigger than the other kids of his age and because he was a black also (there weren't many black people in Indonesia).

To learn that his father was a moslem even exited us more although we know that he is a devouted christian now.

I read once how one of his his school mates was so proud (eventhough most probably Obama himself doesn't remember him anymore) that the kid he used to play marble and kite with is now a Presidential Candidate on The United States Of America.

Have Close Tie With Indonesia

We also learned that he has a step sister who is half Indonesia. That's somehow make the tie between him and Indonesia even closer.

Although we can not vote, but we surely support him in anyway we can.

The Change has come!
