'THE ONE' WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR Hail, Obama! Look who's forecaster in chief President becomes real 'weatherman' for every location on Earth Posted: November 04, 2009 7:52 pm Eastern By Joe Kovacs
He sits in the prestigious Oval Office. He presides over car companies. He aims to provide health care for every American. His image and speeches are ubiquitous in the media. Children in classrooms across the nation even sing songs of celebration for him. Now, just when you thought the president could not possibly be more omnipresent, there's a new website that brings new meaning to "Hail, Obama." Obama-Weather.com, named for Barack Obama, not only predicts the weather for any location on the planet, but suggests what you should wear based on the attire of the commander in chief. It features prognostications using data from Weather.com, the folks who bring you the Weather Channel, and offers a five-day forecast with cartoon images of Obama dressed in shorts and tank tops for warm weather, and scarves and parkas for colder climates. Some of Obama's shirts even sport images of himself.
"You don't have to check your thermometer anytime you go out in order to decide what clothes to wear," declares the website, designed by computer programmers Paschenko & Talmacheu in the former Soviet republic of Belarus. In less-than-perfect English, Obama-Weather explains, "No more 'Let's look out of the window to see what people wear today' or go out to the balcony to feel if the clothes you've chosen is OK not to get freezed or hot. All you need is to check what Obama or his friends wear." (Story continues below) Users simply type in the location of where they'd like to check the outdoor conditions, and a page displays the president wearing clothing appropriate for the temperature, and holding an umbrella, for instance, if rain is in the forecast. Temperatures are available in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
If you don't happen to be a fan of Obama, you can also choose other celebrity personalities, including actress Angelina Jolie, actor Hugh Laurie who is identified by his TV name of "House," and even the character "Bender" from the cartoon "Futurama." The site also offers fictitious testimonials, joking about what a great service it provides, including:
