Assignment 1 MHutcheson

We have gone through an amazing transition in this country in a very short amount of time.  To think as President Obama said in his speech, an African American could not have ate lunch at the same counter as a caucasion, can go onto the highest office in the land is an Amazing thing.  But as the author- Thomas L. Friedman from the New York Times- said, this can not be "mission accomplished".  This can not be the time for America, who has always been on the cutting edge of alot of fantastic things, to say "mission accomplished". 

 The readership of this article, presumably the readership of the New York Times, should be actively engaged in this article.   This Article was meant to inspire; not just a fourty year old reader but also a 14 year old reader.  It was meant to make us the reader realize that we are no longer seeking more of the same old, same old.  Rather we need new original thoughts.  We need thoughts on all fronts: economically, socially, industrially, and scientifically to put credibility back in the United States.
