The chosen location of an elementary school was questioned and analyzed:
@Will_Antonin I've wondered the same. What is the psychology of this? He looks ridiculous.
— Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) August 20, 2014
@MelissaTweets @Will_Antonin Because he likes audiences looking up at him, and he likes looking down on them.

@Will_Antonin @straytski that's his comfort zone and level of his leadership.

@Will_Antonin Level playing field for Obama.

That theory might not be too far off course.
