Mr. Barack Obama "Pulang Kampung"
Tuesday, November 9th the president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama visited Indonesia. Actually, I was less interested in that news, after twice he canceled the schedule to visit Indonesia, I thought Obama came when not at the right time, because these day Indonesia just had been hit by many natural disasters. Safeguards have also been done at the day before the arrival of Obama. but I thought the guard slightly not too tight, because in the morning before Obama came to Jakarta I crossed Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport there are no many polices on guard there.
I didn't attend the whole of the arrival of Barack Obama news, even on television or radio, I just read it on the Internet, at twitter timeline on the news site. I also didn't know the contents of Obama's speech when he was treated to a dinner at the palace. I was watching on youtube the day after Obama left Indonesia. It turned out that Barrack Obama is a very low profile. He even said "pulang kampung nih" interrupted his speech. He still likes the foods of Indonesia and he still remember the call of the vendors, he said “satay” “baso”. His Indonesian language also still fluent. When he began and ended his speech he said: "Assalaamualaikum" and "wassalaamualaikum". He is a person who really appreciate the diversity of tribes and religions in Indonesia. But, There are also many Jakarta residents who felt disturbed over the coming Barrack Obama to Indonesia because many of main streets of Jakarta are closed and caused the traffic jam. Obama's arrival also makes aired on televisions news about developments of refugees in the Merapi and Mentawai were less exposed. But Obama said that our thoughts and prayers are with all of those Indonesian people who are affected by the recent Tsunamis and the Volcanic Eruptions, particularly those who've lost loved ones, and those who've been displaced. After giving his speech to the students at the University of Indonesia, Obama directly went to Halim Perdanakusuma Airport and left for Seoul, South Korea. Obama canceled his plan to visit Kalibata Heroes Cemetery with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono because of the ongoing eruption of Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta forced US President Barack Obama to cut short his whirlwind Indonesian visit on Wednesday and depart several hours ahead of schedule. It is also a joke for some people, because if he wants to visit Jakarta for more than 24 hours, he must report to Rukun Tetangga officers. After obama coming to Indonesia, many people said "many presidents win a vote but Obama wins a heart" and I adore mr. Barack Obama a lot. I hope that after the arrival of Barack Obama to Indonesia, not only "satay' and "meat ball" are being favorite Indonesian dishes of Obama worldwide, but also the Indonesian tourism, and the religious harmony in Indonesia will getting better.
