I love this guy!

One of my friends pointed me to this Obama interview with Indonesian television news. It's fluff, but it demonstrates (to me) his geniality, his humanity, and his ability to appreciate all that the wide world has to offer.

On the other hand, I suppose it probably doesn't do him any credit in the Heartland. :-( Appreciation of nasi goreng and satay, and a familiarity with Hindu myth and Indonesian puppet theatre don't play well in Peoria.

my mother-in-law and father-in-law LOVE nasi goreng. Satay not so much, but Dad misses a good lamb madras. One Christmas (early in our married life) we had them to Christmas dinner and I cooked an Indian meal - madras, sambals naan bread, etc - and Mum, who normally complained that she had to eat 'bland' food for her stomach, even had seconds. I must make a big pot soon and take it up to them for Dad to reheat. Mum is so disabled these days that he's taken over all the household duties including cooking.

Oh and the in-laws are about as old fashioned Conservative as it gets in Scotland.
