The Obama White House revolves around a culture of debate. He leads long, analytic discussions, which bring competing arguments to the fore. He sometimes seems to preside over the arguments like a judge settling a lawsuit.

His policies are often a balance as he tries to accommodate different points of view.

Interesting. I think Brooks well-described Obama's governance style. He sees this as an asset, though, and I don't. Maybe in another time period, but not now and not in regard to the particular problems the country faces.

Obama's compromising, incremental approach is not, IMO, the leadership style the country needs right now. My guess is that it will lead to small, relatively inconsequential progress with regard to deficits, lackluster economic growth, and rising medical and energy costs.
