Perhaps such an approach would have worked 100 years ago, when federal power was, relative to today, extremely small. Nowadays however we need a strong executive to guide the federal government in its facilities. Furthermore, being the figurehead for the US abroad, we need a president who is confident and knows how to wield power. This is not to say we should have a power-hungry president, but barring any major changes in the role of government in America, we need a leader with an agenda.

I think the trick is not to find a person who can make the best of a bad situation, but a person who can ameliorate the bad situation.
