Roger E. Levien, vice president of strategy at Xerox, would go further. 'It is that, plus the continuing trade deficit, the S&L crisis, the educational deficit, the decline of our once-great cities, the erosion of our economic infrastructure, the persistence of an underclass locked in a cycle of poverty, violence and despair. And against that backdrop, the leadership deficit. Nobody is offering credible answers or a Churchillian call to arms.' 1, record 1, English, - leadership%20deficit

"Leadership" involves having the ability to lead and "deficit" implies that there are not enough candidates with such qualities as integrity, courage and strength to face the problems that arise when running a nation.
