You might want to check your civics knowledge and try again.
I would suggest that you do that, CodeToad.
The Head of Government is typically the ‘leader’ of a country (I’m loath to say ‘always’, but any exceptions would be few and far between).
The Head of Government makes Federal (or ‘national’, if you will) government appointments, and wields all or essentially all Executive authority.
One sees this in most if not all Parliamentary systems - The PM is Head of Government is considered the ‘leader’ of the country, and the President, usually chosen from within the majority party, is a mostly ceremonial office. One hears very little from the President, and I’d venture to guess that few outside the country even know or care what the President’s name is - think France, Germany, or even Israel. In the European monarchies, no one would say that the monarch, as Head of State only, is the ‘leader’ of the country.
The US is one of the few large countries that combine the positions of Head of State with Head of Government (only Brasil comes to mind). I’ll surmise that that is the main source of your confusion, and that you know how rare combining the positions is. I’ve never seen anyone claim that the highest-ranking member of a legislative body is the leader of a country.
I find B Hussein’s being called our ‘leader’ as distasteful as you probably do, but there’s no need to make shiite up about the Speaker position to show your distaste.
