"(I met him everyday at that time) but I didn't really pay attention to him. He was just a nine year-old little kid so I just thought he was just a kid of my next door tenant and I never realised he will be a very very important person this year."

8. SOUNDBITE (Indonesian) Tata Aboe Bakar, owner of Obama's childhood home:
"Three Dutch businessman who have been running their cafe business in Jakarta and Bali came here. They offered to rent the house from me, to turn it into cafe or a museum to sell stuff related with Obama."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Bartele Santema, bar owner:
"It could work well, Obama now will get the interest from all the Indonesians as well. They are interested in him, in his history, in his links with Indonesia. So, I think maybe not make it a bar where we sell alcohol, but coffee, kind of Obama blend coffee - a mix of Kenya beans with Java beans. These kinds of things that we can sell there. I think it would attract a lot of people with an interest for Obama."
12. Obama's childhood friend, Widianto Cahyono walking into room
13. SOUNDBITE (Indonesian) Widianto Cahyono ,Obama's childhood friend:
"No. I don't agree with the idea to make the house into a cafe. If they are going to change it to be a museum or library which can tell the whole story of Obama from a child until he is becomes a president nowadays, I definitely agree and it's a very good idea."

STORYLINE
The small colonial-style house US presidential candidate Barack Obama lived in as a child has received a steady stream of visitors ahead of the November 4 election in the United States, from potential buyers - including a businessman who wants to turn it into the "Sweet Home Obama Bar."
Tata Aboe Bakar, the 78-year-old owner of Obama's childhood home, does not seem keen to sell however, noting that the property, in an upscale neighbourhood of the Indonesian capital, has been in his family since 1939.
Aboe Bakar said his decision would depend on the price offered for the property.
The two-bedroom pavilion Obama lived in as a child - initially built as a guesthouse - would be sold with the main, sprawling residence next door and the 12,900 square foot (1,200 square metre) plot of land.
Together, they have an estimated market value of three (m) million US dollars.
The property's price is expected to skyrocket if Obama wins the US presidency on November 4.
Aboe Bakar said one broker claimed a US Embassy in Jakarta official was ready to pay five times the property's worth if Obama becomes president, however the embassy's public diplomacy officer said he was not aware of any such offer.
Obama moved to Jakarta with his American mother and Indonesian stepfather in 1967, spending the first two years in another home in the Indonesian capital.
The family then relocated to the small red-tile roofed home with art deco windows on Taman Amir Hamzah Street in 1970 when Obama was nine-years-old and stayed there for the next two years.
Aboe Bakar said he has few stories to tell about Obama as a child, except the time his poodle ran away, never to be seen again.
