A leader is an executive. A mediator is more like a judge. Judges in litigation often encourage "settlements" which are compromises.

Barack Obama is good at being a judge. Perhaps, he would be a great justice on the U. S. Supreme Court.  Those are his proven skills.  Leadership is not one of Obama's proven skills.

What do we want in a president?  Leadership or mediatorship?  A commander-in-chief or a mediator-in-chief?
