This is hysterical. Even Indonesians have had enough of barry. The 10 y/o bronze barry – paid for by barry people – has been taken down from Menteng Park and will be relocated to outside the school he attended. Should be re-erected by the time he visits March 20-22. The relocation is being paid for by Jakarta Gov Fauzi Bowo.
$10,600 barry getting a bath.
After it was erected, Indonesians, led by Heru Nugroho, protested on Facebook and sued to have the statue removed. They felt an Indonesian hero should have been honored and also mentioned that big barry could end up with policies counter to Indonesians’ interest. They got their wish.
The school evidently has no problem having it outside.
(Didn’t he supposedly go to two schools?)
