President Obama's broad forehead indicates a considerable intellect, with the vertical nature telling us that this is a man ruled more by rational thinking than by emotion. The prominent bony area about 2/3 of the way up the forehead – the frontal eminence – show that he has a remarkable memory. His narrow eyes are a clear sign that he is a good strategist, with a command of detail. His protruding ears indicate someone who is likely to ‘think outside the box’, and will not be restricted to convention. He is likely to be someone who asks a lot of questions, partly to gather information, and partly to stimulate fresh thinking in others. This is a man with a sense of destiny, but who has yet to face his biggest challenges.
