I want leaders who impress me as being "smarter" than me, and yes, of better character than me.

"HE THINKS HE'S SMARTER THAN YOU!!!"---Good. I think he's smarter than me too. If I had thought he was dumber than me, I wouldn't have voted for him. If I thought I was smarter than him, I would run for office.
(Whoever "he" might be.)

I don't see what's wrong with any of that.

I want an electorate to elect a leader and then support them.

Yep. Add that to the list. Or at the very least voice your opinion, then get the hell out of the way until the next election cycle.

I have always been against the opposition speech after a presidential address. It makes no sense on the planet to elect someone President then have the same debate every time he talks. BY the way I was against this since the beginning no matter who is in office, even Bush boy.
