Motivational Power Quote

Are They a Statesman or a Politician?

“A statesman is a politician who places himself at the service

of the nation. A politician is a statesman who places

the nation at his service.”

George Pompidon 1911 – 1974, Prime Minister of France

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Are they a statesman or a politician?

The play on the words in the quote may sound similar . . . . but the difference in the meaning of the words are enormous and impact of the words have an enormous impact on the nation.

Are we sending statesman to Washington or politician?

Far too many elected officials at every level of office are politicians and far too little are a statesman.

America is a diverse nation of hard working people trying to provide for their families and trying to make a better life for their children. At the same time there are far too many politician standing in the way of the American families and putting their interest above that of the nations.

We have reached a time that the politicians need to move on . . . . and get a real day job like the hard working American people. They would have a better understanding of what the people are experiencing trying to find a full time job.

Are they a statesman or a politician? Embrace the statesman and send the politician home packing.
