Obama’s spending his childhood in Indonesia is a great asset. I grew up attending international schools in different countries and I consider the experience to be one of the highlights of my life. I learned so much by living in other countries. My dad was also mostly absent and made me more independent and I grew-up faster.
It’s really sad that most Americans are afraid to venture out of their cocoon.
jg, you should really take some time off on your own, away from your family and comfort, and travel the world. You won’t be attacked for being an American. Instead you’ll meet great people who have so little yet are willing to share so much.
