The two primary leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Mormons believe that their church is literally run by God, who reveals His will for the Church to the Prophet. The Prophet, his two Counselors, and Twelve Apostles make up the highest governing body of the worldwide Church.
About 70,000 people over several years.
Many of what are now the Western United States were settled by "Mormons." You may be referring to Utah, however, which was the primary destination of the move west.

No. Mormons aren't embarrassed. Most Mormons don't even live in the US and therefore didn't really pay much attention to the presidential election. There are also hundreds of thousands (if not a million or more) Mormons who supported Barack Obama in the election. Having someone who happens to be a member of the same religious denomination as you lose a presidential election is not embarrassing. I, as a Mormon, certainly don't feel embarrassed, nor do I know of any other Mormons who feel embarrassed. The general feeling among Mormons who supported Romney is disappointment, but happy that he had a great campaign. Church leaders have asked all Mormons to congratulate President Obama on his victory and to pray for him and all other government leaders.

Yes they do. Mormons place the birth of Christ high on their beliefs, and mangers are often displayed as a nativity scene outside some of their churches and Temples. The Primary children often act out the scene on a Sunday nearest to Christmas day.
