"We now have a statesman instead of a politician."
That's what a gentleman said to me last night as he left our celebration.

1. Well.....
I agree that he is a statesman. But he is also a consummate politician. I actually don't have a problem with the word.

8. The point is, Bush has never been anything remotely resembling a
"statesman".

5. Taken in a positive way.
He's one hell of a politician. I can think of very few mistakes made in this campaign, a huge contest to the tragedy of errors that was the McSame/Palin(comparison) effort.

7. He is both, some may be disappointed he will not be as liberal as you hope
Obama is a politician and he is not going to damage getting a second term by doing things that are in the country's best interest over maintaining power. Obama is the best we could do, but he is not to be worshiped.
