In an article in the New York Times, columnist Thomas L. Friedman believes that President Obama will indeed enact change in this country's policies, but knows that it's not necessarily going to happen right off the bat. The columnist wrote it to share his thoughts on the election, and what the new President means to the country. His argument is that Obama really will live up to the change he promised, and that we as a nation should welcome him.
If the fact that he was writing for the New York Times didn't give it away already, Friedman is a clear Democrat. But he's trying to reach out to the other side, who seems so hell-bent on staying true to the failed politics and policies that plunged the nation into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. I believe that since Obama is making such an effort to reach out to people who probably still think he's some kind of socialist Kenyan terrorist, Republicans should try and find some middle ground. People are never going to agree on everything, but if Obama goes down, so does the entire country, and in comes the second Great Depression.
