Thomas L. Friedman, a three time pulitzer prize winning author with liberal political views wrote this article " A Radical in the White House". Mr Friedman seems to be trying to convince the non-Obama supporters to rally behind the new president because radical is what we need in our country.
There are many in our country that believes President Obama can save this country. I don't believe that one man can save us all, in fact I believe you should save yourself. Sometimes if you look and listen closely you can almost hear and see an almost Jesus worship of our President Obama - Now thats is what I call radical and a bit scary too! There have been other countries that have turned to a radical in their darkest hour and have barely lived to regret it, anyone remember Germany post WWI? Do not think for a moment that I am comparing the two men - I'm not, rather I want to stress individual responsibility and what can happen.
Americans must pull themselves out of their own hole as best as they can, depending on the government to do it is foolish - help may not arrive in time. Even with my conservative views, Mr. Friedman's article had me silently hoping he's right, but I do it with my fingers crossed and my own social and economic plan to help me and my family.
