Friedman on Obama, the presidential campaign of 2012 and the failure to embrace the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan

09/26/2011

A campaign developed by campaign consultants lacking boldness and clear vision, one developed in test-tube fashion, is how Friedman describes the Obama election campaign. He describes the long period in the second half of 2011 as a crucial period inthe Obama presidency, when Obama lacked the courage to embrace his own presidential commission's Simpson-Bowles plan for deficit reduction and simply vacillated in a back and forth with Republicans. The price may well be the loss of independent and center-right voters.

We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
