Looking at events all around the globe, i propose we modify the definition of a politician. Here are some suggestions.
Politician:
‘Someone who may not be there to assist along the way, but will surely be there when it is time to claim credit’.
‘Someone who has one standard for his/her opponent, and another for him/herself.’
‘Someone who struggles to give a straight answer when asked a simple question.’
‘Someone who is miraculously always “misquoted” and whose words are “taken out of context”.’
‘Someone who makes more promises than a fiance.’
‘Someone who tweets (or posts on facebook) the phrase “thoughts and prayers” more than others.’
‘Someone who wants his/her actions, tears, altruistic acts, good deeds, and kindness to be displayed all over print and social media.’
