Thomas L. Friedman's article," Radical in the White House", in the New York Times was an attempt to warn the American people and perhaps president Obama himself of the importance that our new president has and the positive change he could bring to our country. Yes, we have made history by electing a black man as president but it can not stop there. America still has a long road ahead and we have a lot of important issues to figure out to put us back into a positive place. The question is, will president Obama and the American people use this positivity, excitement and hope to achieve a better future? History has shown the great accomplishments that can be achieved through historical change and if we can keep our heads up and motivate our new president and he motivate us we will have a bright and promising future for our country.
I feel that Friedman is trying to stress the importance of this historical moment in time and the possibilities that lie ahead for America but it is up to President Obama and all Americans to make sure we take full advantage of it for the betterment of our country and perhaps the world.
