Barack Obama is the Karate Kid

New Indonesian movie Little Obama (Obama Anak Menteng) just came out and takes a few liberties with Obama’s youth in Indonesia (he lived there from age 6-10). The actor playing Obama is a bit older and there are odd training scenes that make one think of The Karate Kid. 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali plays Obama and is also an American living in Indonesia. Director Damien Dematra also wrote a book about Obama’s youth, so he’s cashing in for the long haul!
