The Tactician: Why Barack Obama is a Good President

He’s a master strategist and efficient speaker, a communicator. He knows what to say, and what not to say. He knows when to move, and when not to move. He knows when to speak, and when not to speak. His trademark sense of superior strategic timing and rhythm is the best I’ve ever seen in a president in my entire life. He has power, but unlike many presidents with power, he’s also a good decision maker. The man knows how to run a country. He doesn’t just have intelligence. He knows how to apply that intelligence, even under pressure.
