If Barack Obama is such a truthful, good-natured, heartful change-bringing guy, why is he such a Politician?

He has no choice but to be a politician, because he alone does not run the country. If he did, we would have a dictatorship. However, we have a democracy where, what the President desires is up to both houses of congress. There are 100 members in the Senate, and 435 in the House....that is 535 politicians. If the President hopes to have any of his agenda ped, then he must be as much of a politician as the next guy.
