"How bad are some of those leading our country?"
I'd ask "Who's really leading our country? The voters or the corporations?"

Obama & his administration are the "official" leaders of the country
Our political system has many influences. We The People (the bosses per the constitution) are low on the totem pole. Corporations, unions & special interest groups hold the high ground. The Dems in DC no longer listen to We The People. The lame stream media is in the tank with The One.
I believe the Messiah has us headed for single payer Federal controlled health care like Canada & the UK. Can you say rationing? Followed by death panels for us geezers.
The winners of our elections are determined by those that count the votes. November 2nd, a very important day.
