The nature of an adventure.

I suspect that Barack Obama looks at the presidency as an adventure. Which makes the job fun. He's amazed that he got elected in the first place. Like it's an achievement of an impossible dream. And he does't exactly know what to do about it. Whether to just lean back and enjoy the ride. Or to really achieve something astoundingly significant. That has long-lasting impact on the nation and the world. I'll bet that Obama tells himself to take his life in the White House one day at a time. And that may be a problem. Because lots of people see that as having no grand scheme. And leaders are supposed to have it all figured out. An answer for everything. Of course, that's ridiculous. Because most leaders don't know where they are going. That's the nature of an adventure. --Jim Broede
