What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "[Obama was] really everything the American public would expect from their national leadership. The President was at all times presidential. I would contend he was the smartest guy in the room. He had leadership skills we'd expect from a guy who had 35 years in the military." in the context of "William H. McRaven, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, describing Obama's work in the May 2 2011 Osama bin Laden operation. Quoted in Time magazine, December 26, 2011. The Admiral by Barton Gellman http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101745_2102133_2102330-4,00.html" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
