Andrew Card

Andrew Card occupies a strange and weighty place in modern history for me. He is forever the man who leaned in to whisper to President Bush that America was under attack on September 11, 2001, a single image that captures the gravity of his role. As White House Chief of Staff, and earlier as Secretary of Transportation under the first Bush, Card built a career on supporting the principal rather than seeking the microphone himself. I respect the temperament that demands: the composure to stand beside power during crisis. The unglamorous, steadying figures behind leaders rarely get their due, and Card was clearly one of them.
