jseal,
You touch on a very pertinent point. I do think a good president is a person who is able to use his skills and influence to address the current needs of his country. The skills necessary in the 1800s and the skills needed now can not be interchanged. I do think that there may be a list of qualities people would like to see in their leaders but I believe that applies to all leaders not just political or presidential ones.
