hot and humid, tbh it must suck being in the Old Guard. When it's not Spring or Fall you're either melting in the hot sticky weather or freezing.11 Bravo wrote:

Seriously, the media is just milking this gaffe for all it's worth.
So what you're suggesting is that he sought out a location where weather wouldn't permit a speech, showed up, and then called it off, all because.. what?11 Bravo wrote:

Obama took the stage at midday under the cover of a large umbrella to tell thousands of people who came to hear him speak that "a little rain never hurt anybody but we don't want anybody struck by lightning."
He asked people to return to their cars for safety.
Obama waited out the storm in the cemetery's administration building. He later boarded a pair of buses to greet military families that came for the ceremony.
According to White House spokesman Bill Burton, Obama personally made the decision to warn people in the open field to take shelter. From the pool report:

Yes, I'm sure he went through all the effort to fly to Chicago, get everything organized for a speech and go through all the other planning just so he could have torrential downpour and lightning ruin it all.11 Bravo wrote:

Yes yes, I'm quite sure he had that all planned out.

i knew you guys would go in this direction. my point was if you looked ahead at the weather, DC would have been the better option. i knew the weather 4 days out cuz we fly to both locations and is part of my planning. they cant do the same? i bet he was told it was supposed to rain and he prolly said meh. if he WAS really trying then he would have went to Arlington.FEOS wrote:

He should've gone to Arlington, regardless.11 Bravo wrote:

i know but his fanbois are trying to make every excuse possible.
Looks like you're the one trying to make every excuse possible to be critical. You're stacking inferences on top of speculation and interpreting them according to the conclusion that you've already made.11 Bravo wrote:

This is pretty simple. For the most part, if you like Obama, then you don't think it's a big deal. If you don't like Obama, then you do think this is a big deal. It's pretty much the same when other politicians make mistakes. The sad thing is, most people don't see to be able to distinguish between a significant and very telling mistake, such as calling the police stupid, and something minor like not wearing a tiny, stupid pin on his jacket. This one is more significant than the pin, but focusing on things like this really just distracts from the really serious, big issues, such as how Obama is a communist bent on becoming leader of the emerging global government.

I work a job dependent on weather most of the time and I can tell you from personal experience that they don't always have any clue as to what's really going to happen from one day to the next.11 Bravo wrote:

You only need to stick your head out the window and look at the forecasts for the next month to see that they only get it right about 60% of the time (weather wise). It's far from exact science.
And yeah, reading through this, pretty much spot on.mikkel wrote:
