Obama’s Indonesian teacher reports he won an eating contest
The Electric New Paper of Singapore has an interview with Mr. Effendi (no first name listed), who taught Barack Obama when he lived in Indonesia, which begins:
GENDUT loved his keropok. He even won a keropok eating contest.
Gendut or ‘chubby’ is now known all over the world as US president Barack Obama.
His former teacher, Mr Effendi S P D, 64, told The New Paper at his house in Jakarta that Mr Obama was the biggest boy in his class. Mr Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother Ann Dunham and step-father Lolo Soetoro from 1967 to 1971.
Keropok are deep fried crackers made from prawns and starch.

Doesn’t sound like he was dissing Simpson. Sounds like he was making a sarcastic comment about the coverage of it. I didn’t see or hear the clip so I could be wrong.
