Privacy is dead. We live in a world of instantaneous, globalised gossip. The IDEA that there is a 'private' sphere and a 'public' sphere for world leaders, POLITICIANS or anyone in the public eye is slowly disintegrating. The DEATH of privacy will have a profound effect on who our leaders will be in the FUTURE.

I believe God wants you to have money to PAY your bills, send your kids to college and do CHARITY work and build orphanages. There's the teaching that we're supposed to be poor to show that we're HUMBLE. I don't buy that. I think we're supposed to be LEADERS. We're supposed to excel.

Morale is GOOD; TROOPS are confident; LEADERS are capable.

House and Senate Republicans are now united in adopting earmark bans. We HOPE President Obama will FOLLOW through on his SUPPORT for an earmark ban by pressing Democratic leaders to JOIN House and Senate Republicans in taking this critical step to restore PUBLIC trust.

The BEST leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ABILITY to understand OTHERS by DISCERNING how they feel and recognizing what they SENSE.

Leaders should LEAD as FAR as they can and then vanish. Their ASHES should not choke the fire they have LIT.

Retail is undergoing a massive change, and there is a chance for NEW leaders to emerge and OLDER BRANDS to reinvent themselves.

Oh, sure, we have ANOTHER WORLD WAR coming, and another GREAT depression, but where are the leaders this time?

Iraq is a long way from the U.S., but what HAPPENS there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, CHEMICAL or biological weapons against US or our ALLIES is the greatest SECURITY threat we face.
