The President doesn’t care about appearing to be in command. He simply is in command. Of all the faces in the room, his is somehow the most sober. There’s no cowboy fist-pumping excitement here. The tension is knife-cutting thick in this room — but the focus is on the operation, not the political calculus. There is no political director hanging by his ear. He’s given the orders; now he’s just holding out for success. Via DJShay.
