Kalam was useless as President. Remember the Office of Profit Bill he signed mutely.One of the Biggest Shame of Indian Parliament. The power hungey politicians of Congress and Left ganged up, they were not ready to forego their chairs of power and money. They shed all ideolagical pretence and sent the bill a second time to Mr. Kalam and he signed !! Sonia Gandhi shamelessly took her office of profits after resigning and again getting reelcted as MP!!!
But Murthy could be different, but even he is not a 'Sheshan'

Shame is not Kalam. Shame are the politicians who humiliate such great people. Need to comment, please do but first go through his life, achievements and simplicity.
Yes, these people are not fit to be presidents because they lack the skill of manipulation which is required to counter current breed of politicians.

Hi Mr.Menon.. On what parameters do you ju8dge hin to be useless..given the fact that as a President of this country he has limited powers..Don't you feel that It is a Constitutional problem and his personal problem..Look at him as an individual and the glory he has brought to the Rubber-stamp post he holds..Arguably he is the best President India ever had and I am dead sure it would be very difficult to find a replacemwnt..no matter you appint Murthy or Seshan..or for that matter any Tom Dick and Harry.. So you first place your arguement how Murthy could make a difference.. I wonder if some people can stop cribbing evn if they get the best..open your eyes wide and realize what you have.. Bye Satish
