I thought this week's piece made a few good points.

I suppose he buys carbon credits.

Is he still pushing China as a role model for governance?; March 21, 2011 at 6:54 AM
PL said...: I was mostly referring to the budget deficits/markets responding aspect. I know that climate change is a myth, so Mother Nature will never "make the adjustments for us"; March 21, 2011 at 10:16 AM
PBM said...: I like the part about Obama and the polls. I think he could be a force in moving polls, but instead he just bases all of his decisions off what the polls are already saying.; March 21, 2011 at 11:35 AM
PL said...: That specific line ("It is what a lot of Obama supporters find frustrating about him: They voted for Obama to change the polls not read the polls.") was the real reason why I posted the article. He needs to take more risks and principled stands- I don't expect him to be out and front leading on EVERY issue, but I don't think it's that hard to pick one or two...; March 21, 2011 at 11:45 AM
TJE said...: Tom Friedman is a great Sinophile.; March 21, 2011 at 11:56 AM
