Behaviorally, You're Getting What You Asked For (But Not A Single Leader Any Of Us Really Need)

"Obama may not cheat on his wife, he may not throw tantrums, but that does not mean, as Game Change implies, that he has inspiring policies and will be an effective president (in fact, he’s struggled in office so far). Conversely, just because a politician has personal shortcomings – has a mean temper, displays egotistical behaviour, whatever – it does not follow that he or she could not be, at the same time, a real leader with inspiring ideas."
