Yeah, term limits mean that when those rare good ones do come along, there's a limit to how long they can do good, then you need to go back to the gamble that the next guy isn't just saying whatever they think will win them the election.

Though that's assuming a legit good one even could make it to the presidency and won't just get JFK'd if they won't be controlled.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the secret service is as much a means to control the president as it is to protect him, too.
