Thanks to Bob Barker, there should be no shortage of pigeons to show their respect for the Dear Leader

Obama statue in Jakarta will be removed . . . .
The Times
February 6, 2010
A statue of the young Barack Obama, intended to commemorate the time he lived in Indonesia as a boy, is to be removed from a park in Jakarta after a campaign of protest on the internet. . . .
The bronze Obama is depicted carrying the Nobel peace prize around his neck; on the statue’s plinth is a quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt: “The future belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams.” Opponents of the statue argued that its place should be reserved for Indonesian heroes, or at least for leaders who have done more than Mr Obama to prove themselves worthy of a place in history.
“Obama has not yet contributed anything significant to Indonesia, or even the world, that warrants him having a statue in, ironically, one of the nicest parks in Jakarta,” wrote one columnist in the Jakarta Post. “Much like his Nobel peace prize, his statue is unwarranted.”

Too bad we can't remove him from the White House as easily as they can the statue from that park!
