I have kind of stopped reading Friedman because he's so repetitive but this
is a good column.

*FREE ADVICE FOR POTUS - Thomas L. Friedman, "Go Big, Mr. Obama: *"[T]he
defining challenge of Obama's presidency [is]: Can he put the country on a
sustainable economic recovery path at a time when, if we fail, it could be
the end of the American dream? I believe the best way for Obama to do that
is by declaring today that he made a mistake in spurning his own deficit
reduction commission, chaired by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, and is
now adopting Simpson-Bowles - which already has Republican and Democratic
support - as his long-term fiscal plan to be phased in after a near-term
stimulus. If he did that, he would win politically and create a national
consensus that would trump his opponents, right and left."
