Bronze statue of young Obama unveiled at park in Indonesia near his childhood school

Bunch of laymen or cavemen to be honest. They like to twist things in life to make the truth make it look less prominent. Jealousy and immaturity. Heck, they lack the understanding of such significance.

It must be terrible to have a president that is liked and respected in other countries around the world, first the Nobel Prize, now a statue - what's next!?!?

Certainly respected at home... its just that the losers are being more vocal this time about their inability to accept their political philosophy fueled in large part the mess they're griping about all along.

SMOKE you are right on! Lets all go fly over it and take one big $hit on that statue!

if i was a bird. i'd sh!t on it.

Does anyone know what Pres. Obama did to earn such accolades? He's done nothing of note, the economy is sputtering around his poll numbers are in the gutter bolstered only by the wide-eyed Obama followers. Things are going get worse until 2010 when he gets a smackdown from Congress.

The statue is not about the politics Alien, it's about the achievement of becoming president of the USA. Surely you can see that's something for school children to be proud of, no?

Again I ask. Why do you care about a statue erected in a foreign school.

It wasn't put up randomly - the guy did attend the school as a child and schools always like to use the prestige of former pupils to give prestige to the school.

Being outraged about this makes you look rather petty.

Get real, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you are totally clueless Pvt Pike!

Oh I don't think so ZQT - you aren't petty and small-minded at all are you.

[zqt3344 21]

No I am not, I am a great American unlike you puddle hoppers from the UK!

Griping on VJ won't help. Take it up with the Indonesians.

$hit on Ovomit! And anyone stupid enough to give him an award or statue, what a damn joke he is!

Not outraged as hero worship this completely to be expected from the wunderkind from Indonesia. It's always a bad idea to put up statues to living leaders because they may be forced to take the statues down later. I'm sure the school can capitalize on Obama's fuzzy image abroad.

Why do you think this is about anything beyond the fact that Obama became president? It's clearly not.
