Mr. Supple

The Washington Post:

Mr. Obama is a man of supple intelligence, with a nuanced grasp of complex issues and evident skill at conciliation and consensus-building.

[...]

Mr. Obama, as anyone who reads his books can tell, also has a sophisticated understanding of the world and America's place in it.

[...]

He is deliberate but not indecisive; eloquent but a master of substance and detail; preternaturally confident but eager to hear opposing points of view.

[...]

Built to impress, with truly livable luxury. Smart angular lines cut a slim profile with a cushy, tight back and low track arms in supple matte black top-grain, semi-aniline leather that lends a designer look. Plump seat cushions let you sink in and stretch out, for all-day lounging.

Ok, that last paragraph actually describes the Crate & Barrel London Leather Sofa.
