Whoa..that should be a dead give away that he's not quite the big SEAL he thinks he is if he can't come up with the name of Admiral McRaven.

Time Magazine's runner up for Person of the Year.

"McRaven speaks respectfully of bush as Commander in Chief, saying he "made some very, very tough decisions." About Obama, without a question to prompt him, he waxes lyrical and at length. The planning and decisionmaking for the bin Laden raid, he volunteers, "was really everything the American public would expect from their national leadership."

"The President was at all times presidential," he says. "I would contend he was the smartest guy in the room. He had leadership skills we'd expect from a guy who had 35 years in the military."
