Where have the titans of leadership gone?

As an old history major, I ponder where are the modern titans of leadership in the world today? My parents’ generation had the likes of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. When you listened to these men, you hear their lofty and atmospheric speeches structured to reassure the heart and soul. Our leaders today bloviate and pontificate for hours, and we just end up feeling tried and frustrated. Where is the modern Roosevelt, Churchill, Kennedy and King when we need them?
