"The White House has been informed that the President Barrack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and two daughters will make a visit to Indonesia in mid-March to come."

According to Dino, it is important to be discussed among other problems the two countries trade relations, bilateral issues and certainly a growing international issue today, the Middle East region is certainly included in the focus of the two heads of government.

The above is a common agenda discussed when leaders of two countries if they have a meeting, but one thing that remains interesting for the visit of President of the United States (U.S.) to anywhere around the world are safety standards. Indonesia has several times received the U.S. president's visit and the security level to Very Very Important Person (VVIP) like Obama and would be very family super tight.

In addition to the presidential aircraft have the U.S., Air Force One there is more furniture that brought U.S. President and this is the standard form secure Black Hawk helicopter with a super-sophisticated equipment and the most advanced, and Black Hawk will always haunt anywhere president, first lady or family leave.

In addition, dozens of Secret Security (SS) will protect the presidential entourage, and did not miss the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to secure all travel and activities of Obama and his entourage.

By the time U.S. Secretary of State in the era of George Bush, Condoleza Rice a visit to Jakarta, the U.S. Marines in full uniform and weapons along the hike along Jalan Raden Saleh, and it becomes attractive to perfomance people of Indonesia.

Then how about the Indonesian security forces, they are certainly very busy, force to be deployed is the maximum, the entire army, air and marine police, and especially the presidential guards and even civil service Police Unit (Satpol PP) were deployed for security. Street peddlers, beggars and street vendors will be issued during the visit of President of friendly states.

In addition, part of which is not less important is the anticipation of anti-Obama protests and anti-United States. Security forces will be working very hard to overcome this problem, as estimated at the time Obama was in Indonesia will be greeted with a massive demonstration anti-American.

Terrorist threats and bombs, remain a priority, the security of the United States Embassy in Jalan Merdeka Selatan Jakarta Pusat and the residence at Jalan Taman Surapati are certainly a concern . According to sources at the U.S. embassy, Obama and family over in Jakarta will be the official residence of the ambassador.

There are no schedule Obama and his family visit to Obama statue at Menteng Park and meet with his friends when he studied at Menteng Dalam elementary school. Obama and family plan to visit the place during the four-year school in Menteng area in Central Jakarta and met with school friends first, also will get a special security. Which regions will be visited Obama's entourage than Jakarta and how many days the president of the country adi this power in Indonesia, there was still no official statement, which obviously made preparations security very seriously, all the ability and power is concentrated in support of this Obama visit.
