Leader Or Speechmaker?

I sometimes wonder where this country is headed. Our Commander in Chief loves to make speeches and even though they contain references to "let me be clear" the listener is left with a sense of not really knowing what he is saying. Speaking and giving nice sounding orations is not leadership. While it is an aspect of great leadership, it is only one component. Our current leaders seem to think that all they have to do is make a speech and all falls in line behind them. Then, they race on to the next speech and/or topic and fail to implement elements of the previous speech. They do not seem to understand that a speech is just a speech. Their actions, leadership, and prioritization after each speech is all important. Speechmaking without leadership is well---just speechmaking.
