Don't hold your breath my friend. Any real leaders will have to come from the people. Not talking heads in suits who have their speeches written for them and have to read them off a teleprompter. Obama works for special interest groups. Just like GWB did. That last real President was Kennedy and Kennedy had been in office for only 3 months and he was already taking unprecedented steps to empower ordinary people. What did Obama do? He pushed for the bail out that gave out billions to huge coperations and banks.
