One way to look at the change in presidential leadership is to consider the change of game. Essentially, football is a contact sport. Basketball is a non contact sport. Football is play by play. Each play based on a plan with implementation modified to some extent in execution. Basketball is continuous with play implementation based on the situation as it develops. A game that more or less plays itself.
Bush style was contact football. President Obama style is non contact basketball. In Cat Skinning terms, Bush style uses a an instrument, the bigger the better, to skin the cat where Obama style is to skin it without touching it. The more elegant style.
A more abstract way of looking at the difference in styles is to compare them to life and computing. This linked here: "Both life and computing have evolved two forms of complex information media: the meaning of one is what happens when it is 'executed' and the meaning of the other is up to the receiver to decide."
