Lead by example how? In what area? Explain.

Nothing Obama said had anything to do with leadership. It had everything to do with limiting freedom of choice. That IS NOT leadership.

Should we be forcing people to pay $8 a gallon for gas? Is that yours and Obama's idea of leadership?

Should we be rationing resources to be a "leader" in yours and Obama's mind?
