		<description><![CDATA[A leader. The simplest definition of the word leader might be &#8220;one who is followed&#8221;. But I&#8217;d wager most of us have more complex definitions than that. I&#8217;d suppose that most of us see a leader as someone with some sort of admirable characteristics, even if we may disagree with how those characteristics are used. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama has come under fire by the Clinton&#8217;s for being able to speak well but offer little in the way of actual ideas or policies. Rush Limbaugh this week claimed that liberals hate George Bush because he lacks talent when it comes to public speaking. At first blush, the idea that a great leader [...]]]></description>
