the data doesn't necessarily back up that leaders aren't good writers. maybe recent american politicians, but what about Jefferson, Lincoln and Franklin (not a President, but on the $5 note), not to mention the writers of the federalist papers and constitution. maybe we're talking about a different kind of "write well".

Benjamin Franklin's autobiography is a hoot. (Lincoln is on the $5, Franklin is on the $100.)

Jefferson gets all the good press, but Franklin was more accomplished at more things. (Ben did fundamental work in electricity.)
