Its ironic, that when we are all thinking that what the world needs are great politicians with visions, then we get mediocre politicians to choose from - I think we have to wait 2-4 presidents, before we will see another great man/woman as president.

Ahh, there's no such thing as a great or a bad politician. Some love Reagan, some hate him. Some love Clinton, some hate him. It's subjective. For the most part I think people have unrealistic expectations about what the leader of a country should be like, act like and stand for. One can always find something to pick on. Watch Leno or Letterman the night after any election. The opening joke in their monologues will always disparage the new president.
A Bush, Kerry, Clinton or Bush. All have the capacity to be remembered as great by a good many people with the proper situation and response.
