Indonesia will be the first Obama trip as President of USA:
Obama promised during the campaign to convene a Muslim summit, and the New York Times speculated today on where he would deliver a major, early address to a Muslim audience, settling on Egypt as the likeliest.
The Obama donor, Los Angeles real estate executive Ted Leary, recalled that Obama spoke of his plan to donors at a February 20, 2007 breakfast fundraiser at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, soon after announcing his run for president.
“Obama told the 20 or so of us at breakfast that ‘his first trip as President would be to Indonesia – the world’s most populous Muslim country,’” Leary recalled.
“He then said when he got off [Air Force One], he would say ‘xxxxxxxx’ – which we, of course, didn’t understand,” Leary emailed. “He said that it was Indonesian (which he speaks) for, ‘I am back, dudes.’”
So, Obama would say “Saya datang lagi, kawan!” (Anyone has a better translation of “I am back, dudes?”)
