Tom Friedman Offers Political Advice to The President

Tom Friedman urges Obama to take some risks and use his advantage as the president to lead the American public. The GOP has played the obstructionist hand and he has an opportunity to present something that the public is looking for. The public is looking for a vision of an America that can resume its leadership role in addressing our economic problems and point us toward a better future. That requires that we deal with our short term and long term fiscal problems. The president has to determine whether his political staff or folks like Friedman have the better grasp on his options, and how they play into their state by state plan for the 2012 elections. His political staff will be preoccupied with winning the electoral votes from several swing states. Is the Friedman plan the way to win Ohio and Florida?
