President Obama's legacy is in his intellect -- his unparalleled ability to envision both the realities of a troubled world and the possibilities for peaceful interaction among nations and peoples of all heritages.
The leaders of thousands of administrative units in the Executive Branch should concentrate on the President's style, decision-making methods, and depth of research into every significant issue. They should emulate his approach to leadership challenges, giving him unstinting support for choosing the best paths for all in fairness and equity rather than celebrating the spoils of victory.
