President Obama decided to attend a Memorial Day commemoration in Chicago instead of the traditional one in DC. It was good that he attended something on Memorial Day.
The Chicago area had severe storms during the event and there was a threat of lightning in the area. OK, I get that and recognize the program, but are there not people to stand up in the rain and tell the assembled crowd to disperse? It might be just me, but this doesn’t seem very Presidential. And yes, I would have said this if the last guy would have done it.
Where are the people standing behind him to say, “Um, Mr. President, how about we send someone out to make an announcement regarding the weather.” I guess not. How embarrassing.
Of course, this is just my opinion.
