I believe the measure of a leader is in their ability to inspire their supporters creatively.

Will.I.Am said of his remix of Obama's New Hampshire speech :

"It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me to be sitting here on ABCNews and making a song from Obama's speech," will.i.am said.

"The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes," Dylan said.

I believe the measure of a leader is in their choice to engage supporters as collaborators in the building of a social and political future. The difference between a campaign and a movement is in how people take the political moment as a call to action, regardless of whether the powers that be are there to reward them :

La negra here likes her gossip and pop culture blogs. After a day of being high on mothering, politics and web development I have to wind down on a more earthy note. My nightly treats include my first blog love, The Corsair (exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment), my new BFF Perez Hilton, Ms Thing Miu Von Furstenberg and my new loves, D Listed, Crunk and Disorderly, Concrete Loop. Then there's FourFour.

Rich Juzwiak has become my go-to guy for the hysterically funny blow-by-blow recaps he turns out every week for America's Top Model, Project Runway and the "because the parody writes itself" of Being Bobby Brown. Rich has turned TV digesting into a comedic tour de force.

He also has become one of my music sources. It's his writing of pop music, sometimes supplying his own mashups and mixes that makes this man shine as a pop culture critic.

It's no wonder I have turned into Steve Jobs wet dream.
