The article "Radical in the Whitehouse" is written by Thomas L. Friedman for the New York Times. Mr. Friedman wrote the article in response to a t-shirt that he saw on a street vendor as he was walking back from the inauguration that said "mission accomplished". While electing a black man as our President is a great start it is hardly “mission accomplished”. Mr. Friedman has a very impressive resume of reporting on political events, although usually from a liberal perspective.
Mr. Friedman is hoping that President Obama will be willing to investigate new and unusual ways of correcting the economic and political mistakes that have caused us to be in the recession that we find ourselves in. This article appears to be directed to the general public and argues that business as usual has obviously led to the current situation.
