I think we're all splitting hairs, myself included. Do they think theyre simply better than everyone else or do they think they are better able to lead than anyone else? Is there a distinction?

The presidency requires someone with a specific skill set, confidence and leadership abilities. However, one of the most important qualities is the ability to understand the people - their needs, wants, aspirations, moral values, and expectations of the President's office and be able to meet those important elements effectively. I would want my leader to be more qualified than me for that position... or at least I would like to think he/she is.
