Anyone who has read Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams from my Father, knows that the 44th president of America had a unique and atypical background for a president. Today, courtesy of The New York Times, comes a fabulous new twist to the tale--his nanny duirng his brief time in Jakarta, Indonesia, was a gay man and transvestite. Norimitsu Onishi writes, "His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball." Just another .
