Leadership

After learning about leadership and the different roles leaders can have, I began to wonder whether we'd ever have leaders like they did back then. I know the circumtances are different and I guess less extreme, but can't we get leaders like RFK or MLK? or even FDR! It seems like the economy is in a recession and if not will be very soon, so can't we get the boost they gave the country when they were alive? Do leaders with such enthusiasm and passion exist anymore? The most passion we get is from Obama and even his speeches don't seem that sincere... I feel like leadership has a lot to do with its followers (obviously) but not just in the sense with them following but how they respond. Someone who follows MLK is not the same as someone who follows Obama. Although they're both leaders in their own respect, the attachment seems so much deeper and heartfelt than any Obama fan... If leaders were able to lead like they use to, can't it be said there'd be more followers?
