tell it like it actually is?no the a good politician is one that do the opposite of everything above,a good politician will never answer a direct question,with a honest direct understandable answer.they will use word games,beat around the bush,(sorry for the pun)not g.w.bush.but answer in a way that you just say forget it right?a good politician will make his opponent look bad by playing under handed or dirty politics,yet do it smiling,being mild mannered and looking good on camera ,while saying the same thing his opponent is saying right?ha ha!and by contrast a bad or not good at politics politican would be honest by telling the American people what the real problem is for instance,so being honest,transparent,being honest about who you are,the real you not some fake image is a bad politician right?now you tell me ,of these two definitions which would be BERACK OBAMA and HILLARY CLINTON?thank you very much!

A good politician? No such thing is there. Ok, I would have to say a politician who can tell the truth, be honest about their past and actually get the job they promise done would be a good start. Oh, and admitting they have made a mistake, if they have, wouldn't go astray either.

you are discribing hillary clinton yet obama who is good at non discloser is getting all the votes!obama will say i want higher education for all (sounds good)but won't say how much it will cost,or where will the money come from,(taxes of course)but he won't mention that and everybody is yes yes yes until they get their tax increase then they will say but he never promised that!hello wake up and smell the coffee!obama will raise the taxes to pay for his campaign promises yet he won't talk about how he will get people back to work,or how he plans to tax the already hard working just keep making those empty promises obama and get those votes!

Is there really such a thing as a GOOD POLITICIAN?? or is that just a fairy tale? But seriously, I am not sure that either of these candidates actually meets the definition of a good politician. I suppose that in some areas one is better than the other but really we would probably do better with new choices! I will continue to support Obama - I have read his "blueprint for change" that can be downloaded from his website, and have also looked at Hillary's plans for the country, and I find myself agreeing with Obama's 2 to 1 vs Hillary, but I am not sure that either is a good politician!
