Context: You would go to fundraisers and events , and it was easy to spend a minute or two talking with various politicians , and they would always sound eager about whatever you were talking about . But when the event was over , and you tried to follow up , there was always that professionally elusive way that had of no longer being interested , or giving you a great reason why they ca n't do it now . That 's one reason I ' m not a big fan of politicians or bureaucrats for that matter , but I agree it 's a necessary evil .
