A STATUE of Barack Obama that was torn down from a public park in Indonesia will be relocated to the US President's former school in Jakarta, a school official said today.

Mr Obama, who spent part of his childhood in Jakarta and is due to visit Indonesia in March, was initially welcomed by locals almost as a long-lost son but his appeal has waned in recent months.

A statue of the president as a 10-year-old boy was installed in central Jakarta's Menteng Park in December 2009 but was recently removed by authorities after a campaign by locals, who argued that Mr Obama has done little to deserve the tribute.

Akhmad Solikhin, deputy headmaster of Mr Obama's former primary school, State Elementary School 01 Menteng, said the statue was removed from Menteng Park on February 14 and would be installed on the school grounds on Sunday night or early next week.



"It is better if the statue can be placed here, so it will be an inspiration and motivation for students to reach their dreams, like Obama," he said.

"We will place it in the front yard."

The mayor of central Jakarta, Sylviana Murni, said that council officials were helping facilitate the relocation of the statue

I was hoping that you were going to tell me that the statue got melted down and turned into bullets.

And the b@st@rd has done nothing to deserve the presidency, either.  But he's still sitting in the White House.
