An elected official being unabashadly public while doing the job. Not hiding behind podiums or in government halls, but out in the midst of citizens. There's not a more powerful image.

I'm going to side with the word experts on this that the terms are interchangeable "at least in North America. And this has been true since around the middle of the 20th century."

Language is a living thing.

As we sit here waiting for our own president to give us ultimatums or suffer the consequences. We've seen some of it, but when he runs out of countries to terrorize, he'll turn on us just like he has others.

We'll let him. It's becoming obvious.
