Oblomov, I share your fatigue. The president of a democracy is a reflection of its society - its values and attributes. As such they usually do not exceed either the vision or the character of its citizens. So it should come as no surprise that the late 20th century has produced such weak candidates. We will not have another leader until we have a strong nation, not the other way around. Currently our strength is economic and many of our values derived from the primacy of wealth. We will see how firm our footing is when these are taken away.
