NEWSWEEK: Obama weathers the storm
I can totally picture Barack Obama doing that. Somehow he has got the disposition for it. I am guessing it comes naturally, you either got it, or you don't.
We all can look at the horizon, stick a wet finger in the air, and tell where the wind blows. That is how it used to be done. These days, advanced technology analyzes in depth what may happen. Even though it all is still mainly based on presumptions, assumptions and predictions, it is more accurate.
Like I mentioned before, it mostly comes down to a gut-feeling. You never can be a 100% sure whether your parade is being rained on, or you are about to get blistered by the heat.
Being a weather-man is one of the most ungrateful jobs to have. It is not easy to stand in front of a blue screen and give an accurate forecast. I suppose Obama had detailed instructions (although even a caveman can weather a storm after it has occurred!). But..., Obama can always apply for a position as a weather-man in case he looses the elections. He is a natural.
I wonder if Barack Obama told Hillary Clinton to dress warm upon visiting Indiana for her election race. She must have been freezing, getting the voters' cold shoulder.
