Makings of a Leader

ויפן כה וכה וירא כי אין איש, how was there no one there, he was spotted, as we see later on that he must run away from Pharaoh because he killed the Egyptian? 

Rabbi Y.Y. Jacobson said in the name of the Rebbe that the intent of the possuk is that Moshe saw that there was no איש, there is no one willing to standup against this unjustness.  (Same idea can be found in the Ksav Ve’Kabbalah.) 

What was Moshe doing strolling through the working slaves?  Rashi tells us that נתן עינו ולבו להיות מיצר עליהם.  This leads to the Rashi on אכן נודע הדבר that Moshi was wondering why where Klal Yisroel subject to such slavery?  Moshe doesn’t just notice things, he thinks about them and tries to fix the problem.   

The Torah tells us that Moshe said אסרה נא ואראה מדוע לא יבער הסנה, presumably everyone would stare at a burning bush that’s in front of them, what’s special about Moshe?  The Sforno says אסרה means אתבונן and in he repeats this on the words וירא ה' כי סר לראות : להתבונן בדבר.  The Sforno is explaining of course everyone stares at what happens in front of them, but no one cares to stop and think about it. Moshe Rabbenu, a leader, stops and thinks about what he is seeing.
