Since Obama is 1/2 white you might say this dude looks like a White Indo. Obama: raised by his white family. That never gets much play for some reason.

When your president use vans, denim jacket made by indonesian artist, and handmade chopper from local garage. This surely the coolest president in the history of Indonesia.

Am I the only one who finds phrases like 'and the Internet lost it' irritating? Hyperbole of this nature puts me off. I was interested in the article regardless of whether or not the collective people on the internet 'lost it'. It's such rubbish.

Well, actually Obama has a half indonesian brother since his mother married a man from there.

Should be noted that Joko Widodo is presiding over a brutal and bloody genocide of indigenous Papuans.

Apanya yang mirip? Bagian mana? Mata? Hidung? Telinga? Mulut? Our president doesn't look exactly like Mr. Obama. Their smiles look very nice, I guess?

NOW???? It's being noticed?? Where the heck have people been all this time? This was a common knowledge back when O was in office- You think no one noticed that Barrack's step-dad was from Indonesia? Quite a resemblance and an interesting - coincidence -
