No Support for Our President

Right off, I will tell you I wanted Barack Obama to be our next President. I feel he offers us some solutions to problems which are deep-seated. They may not all be the best solutions, but I felt he could jump-start some enormous, maybe painful changes we need. Nevertheless, I would have taken this blog in the direction it’s going no matter who was president, because there’s a Feng Shui problem with a simple solution that someone needs to notice.

I watched our President deliver his second press conference the other night and, again, was appalled at the arrangement of the room and his position in it. Not only does he have his back to the door but he stands IN the door during the entire duration of the event. The problem with this is that in Feng Shui, when someone has their back to the entry, they set themselves up for vulnerability. They may be caught off-guard; they may be taken by surprise around something. The first question to ask is whether he could be on the other side of the room facing that huge entry. I surmise the retort to that is "No" because it seems this is a special entry coming in from other parts, maybe restricted parts, of the White House. It seems more convenient to position him just inside the entry rather than have him walk all the way around the room.

Okay, if that’s where he has to be, couldn’t someone close the doors behind him? There are two huge doors that come in from both sides. Surely there must be enough staff who could ceremoniously close and open those two huge doors to protect him from behind. If the doors are closed, it acts like a headboard or a high-backed chair providing support and safety. Couple that with the vulnerable spot he has in the Oval Office with all those windows behind him, he could really use a Feng Shui make-over. Thank heavens he’s got that high-backed chair. I’ll bet some days that’s the only support he gets.
