Indonesians are very excited about the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the United States. They view him as a bit of a native son, since he went to grade school here. Above is a local political cartoon that expresses perfectly the mood. What do you think the cartoon means? What symbols are being used? To what person is Obama being compared? Why do you think the cartoonist is making that comparision?
