Who is the Boss, she keeps referring to?

This is where the term "Boss" is used. In your opinion, who is the Boss in this excerpt? "'The President wants you right away. There's a car on the way to pick you up. The Japs just bombed Pearl Harbor!' With no more words and without time for me to make a single remark, she cut off the connection. She had a long list of people to notify. In twenty minutes I was drawing into the White House driveway, already swarming with extra police and an added detail of Secret Service men, with news and radio reporters beginning to stream into the Executive Office wing and State, War and Navy officials hurrying into the House. Hopkins, Knox and Stimson already were with the Boss in his second floor study; Hull and General Marshall arrived a few minutes later."

Another piece from this story tells you some people who aren't the Boss. "Mr. Hull, his face as white as his hair, reported to the Boss that Nomura and Kurusu were waiting to see him at the exact moment the President called to tell him of the bombing."
