A lot of what you are saying describes "What, to you, makes a good Presidential candidate". There's a difference between the two, in my mind. I think it is very important for a candidate to sell himself, whether he was a general, served on the foreign relations committee, or was a governor.
As for what makes a good President, here's a few:
1)Deft steerer of the economy
2)budget balancer
3)makes good policy concerning the poor/middle-class, isn't beholden to special interests
4)is very careful with sending troops overseas into battle- they are his "boys and girls" and should be treated as such
5)finally, the man must Inspire me, and all of us, to be better than just the sum of our parts, and that all of us together as a nation can accomplish anything.
