The article was written by Thomas L. Friedman. It was written for the New York Times in order to inform people about the new president and to show why we need someone as new and different as our new president.
I think that this article is directed more towards the younger audience and business men since they are the ones who it is impacting the most.
The basic argument is that we need something that is willing to break rules and get things done without worrying about the consequences first. He thinks that the new president will be able to change the things that are making our economy go astray in the first place.
