Controversial Obama statue in Indonesia removed from park after protests 07:42 AMYahoo! BuzzShare DiggNewsvineRedditE-mailSavePrintShare18399 Comments Workers remove the statue of President Barack Obama as a 10-year-old boy from a Menteng Park in Jakarta, Indonesia late Sunday. CAPTIONBy Elin Fadmasari, APA controversial bronze statue of President Barack Obama as a 10-year-old boy has been removed from an Indonesian park and moved to a nearby elementary school that Obama once attended, the Jakarta Globe reports. The decision to take down the 43-inch statue, which was erected in December, came after more than 57,000 people joined a Facebook page calling for it to be removed and replaced by a memorial to an Indonesian. It was removed Sunday night. Akhmad Solikhin, vice principal of Menteng One primary school that Obama attended in the 1960s, told AFP the statue will be placed near the school gates in about three days. "There were people who opposed it," he said. "For us, we'd like the statue to be in the school to inspire the children to have big dreams like Obama." The statue of "Little Barry" — as Obama was known in Indonesia — shows the young Obama wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a butterly perched on his hand. content.usatoday.com
