How many languages does Barack Obama speak?

Barack Obama speaks Bahasa.

from Time, http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1695803,00.html

"When prominent Indonesians visit the U.S., the first person they want to meet is Obama, says Parnohadiningrat Sudjadnan, the Indonesian ambassador to the U.S. 'Back home people think of him as one of us, or at least one who understands us,' he says, adding that they are delighted to find that Obama speaks passable Bahasa, the language spoken in Indonesia and Malaysia. "

The above is wrong and based on 3rd-party knowledge. See the below link where he admits that he does not speak any languages, other than English.
