America is slipping for several reasons, but one of the main reasons I think is the lack of Leadership at the top. We haven't had anyone in the White House in a very long time that has the ability to rally the troops and inspire the nation.

With the lot we have running now, I don't see it getting any better this go around either.

I agree, but leadership starts with leading ourselves to do the right thing all the time(especially when no one is looking).  The world is full of followers.  So, that makes many people leaders that don't know it.

Kind of reminds me of a document that starts out: We the people. If we don't do it than we can't expect a politician to do it for us.

I agree we all need to do our part. But without strong leadership the efforts of a nation of individuals can't pull together. The right leader can pull us all together working for the good of the nation.

Without the right leadership, we would have lost WWII, without the right leadership the Civil War would have split this country forever. Without the right leadership teams don't win championships, without the right leadership we find ourselves depending on others for our energy supply, without the right leadership the Russians beat us to the moon.

After Pearl Harbor, men enlisted in the military in record numbers and left a void in the work force here in the states. The leadership of this country presented a need to fill those voids to the women of this country and the women responded heroically. But it started with strong leadership charting a course for the nation and inspiring the American public to respond.

Men and Women of character and integrity will rise to the call of a situation.  The one who does it first, and has the loudest voice in the darkness is the one you refer to as a leader.  Great Leaders are born of difficult times.  I do not believe we need someone in Washington DC to tell us what is happening and what to do about it.  I do not want someone in Washington DC fighting for me.  I want the liberty to think for myself and to take action.  All I want from DC is someone to end the political correctness, take their foot off my neck, their hand out of my pockets, and not take any crap from any other country on earth.  We as the American people need to lead the globe.  We had done a good job of that until about 1960.  The problem is we have done the wrong thing for the last 48 years and the world has done what they do best.  They followed.  I say be the best leader you can be everyday.  If you choose to be a follower that is great as well.  Just choose the right one to follow and then be the best follower you can be everyday.  The best way to tell a great leader?  The one who allows the most personal liberty, and demands the most personal accountability.  These two things are in very short supply these days, especially the accountability.
