What makes a great politician?

[Eva Elisabeth]

To motivate a people to do great things (not war) is a good point. I truly cannot estimate and ask this seriously - how long did Kennedy's charisma do so? And how longe would it have done - what if he hadn't been assassinated? I still tend to believe it was the same kind of hype like with Obama's first election. What if Obama had been assassinated in the very beginning before reality got him and his visions?

As for scientists - most are intrinsically motivated, not by politicians, quite a lot go where their work and rearch is supported the best (which make quite a lot of our best go - well, US).
