Obama: Return To Childhood Indonesian Schools [upd]

20091228_loc_obama Xin_54201062119300002850357 Bloomberg News and others I'm sure are reporting that the President and his family will return to his childhood home in Indonesia, including to Jakarta where Obama studied at Catholic and state-run elementary schools from 1967 to 1971.

As you may recall, there were widespread reports that Obama had been educated at a radical Muslim madrassa during the 2008 campaign which were eventually debunked

This may or may not be a picture of young Obama with a classmate from that period of time. 

UPDATE:  Reader says the original on the left is from Hawaii not Indonesia.  How about this one on the right? Still doesn't seem little enough.
