These were from the Indonesia for Obama party at Bellagio Plaza, Mega Kuningan in Jakarta, held by Democrats Abroad and Indonesia for Obama movement. To my surprise, not a single American I’ve met since returning to Indonesia is a Republican. Almost every one of my American friends were there celebrating history in the making. Obama’s step cousin was there to rouse the crowd, his former school mates were there as well.
There was a rendition of both the US and Indonesian national anthems a la Hendrix. It was … electric. They even had red, white, and blue balloons. Unfortunately I arrived there a bit late so I missed out on the pins and buttons.
