what OBAMA's first language...?

I am indonesian , have german wife, we`ve lived indonesia in Bandung for one year, our son was 1 and half yaer at that time. Actually his first language was indonesian mixed with sundanesse. When we moved back to germany my wife and i seldom spook indonesian to him, even now we nearly never talked in indonesian, my son has grown and now 11 years old, speaks German, but he still can understand indonesian a bit, eventhough just children or simple indonesian sentenses, and he`s forgeten many, because he never use it. and I think barack Obama also has simillar case with my son, but the time obama learned indonesian is in the years which children can learn a lot of vocabulars,and even he`s lived for 4 and half years, went to indonesian school and obama`s playmate were local children …so his indonesian language were probably very good. Barack`s mother could speak indonesian fluently, his half sister speaks indonesia like native speaker, and i believe they comunicated each other every now and then in indonesian . And my prediction toward his capabillity in indonesian language is Barack can just speak simple indonesian to get along with people.
