The artilcle Radical in the White House, which appeared in the New York Times on January 21, 2009, was written by Thomas L. Friedman. This article was not only written in response to the Inaugaration which took place on the 20th of January, only a day before, but to help usher in the idea that President Obama is our savior in these times of great hardship and time of need.
The audience this article is catering to is every red-blooded American that is ready to see "change that we can believe in" take place.
The basic argument the author is making is that Obama is the radical man that is called upon in radical times that calls for radical measures.
In response to this article I wish President Obama the best and my hopes are with him that we as a country can overcome these depressionary times.
