Assignment #1

The article entitled: Radical in the White House was written by Thomas L. Friedman and first appeared in The New York Times. In the article, Friedman expresses his concerns about the direction the country was headed while led by the Bush Administration, a administration that has done more harm to the reputation of America than any other.
America is long past due a African American President and Friedman like myself believes Barack
Obama to be the person who can bring about that much needed change, not only domestically but also when foreign affairs come into play.
Friedman is expressing his concern to all those who feel bitter and betrayed by the last eight years and too many minorities beyond that. Of course im sure the author realizes, while President Obama may be a great politician, only time will reveal how great a president he will
truly turn out to be. Let us all hope he doesnt fall prey to the corruption Washington has grown
accustomed too.
