Obama and Thomas Friedman

Herein lies the problem, Obama reads Thomas Friedman for analysis of the Middle East. I almost threw up a little when I read this.

One Response to Obama and Thomas Friedman

    Pouya, the only reference to Friedman in the article also mentions and quotes Zakaria which i watch and like on CNN Sundays:
    “Mr. Obama often surfs the blogs of experts on Arab affairs or regional news sites to get a local flavor for events. He has sounded out prominent journalists like Fareed Zakaria of Time magazine and CNN and Thomas L. Friedman, a columnist at The New York Times.”
    I read the informed Juan Cole and almost informed Friedman sometimes too. They among others have smart and interesting analysis on MidEast issues. It is not as if Obama was wasting his time watching Fox News to stimulate his mind,…then can you explain why you almost threw up?
