This article was written by Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times on Jaunary 21, 2009. I believe it was written and directed toward the people of the United States of America.
His argument is that we as a people have been through a struggling past and many tough times and we have come to where we are now. Mr.Friedman is basically saying that every president has done something different in playing a role of how things are now. We look at it as if President Bush put this nation in a deep hole, and we are now waiting for President Obama to finally make things better and dig us out of the burrow that we are in.
It is time for a change, we have come a long way and we are dependent upon Barack Obama to change that. President Obama now has a lot on his plate and everything he is planning on doing will change this great nation.
