Commentary: Last thing we need now is a great leader (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/02/jillette.presidency/index.html?eref=rss_topstories)

Not to detract from the other two threads, or to put this in the wrong one and thus offend someone, I thought I'd post it here and remain neutral.

Interesting,

Margaret

I don't want anyone as president who promises to take care of me. I may be stupid, but I want a chance to try to be a grown-up and take care of my family. Freedom means the freedom to be stupid, and that's what I want. I don't want anyone to feel my pain or tell me to ask what we can do for our country, or give us all money and take care of us.

I agree with this 100% Margaret. This hankering after "great leaders" is infantalism of the first order. A sad state of current affairs.
