In advance of the upcoming G-20 meeting in London, President Barack Obama seeks to lead with an editorial that appeared in over 30 newspapers around the world. We're in a period of national and global transformation. Just about everything that affects our lives is in hyper-change right now, from the economy to the environment, to media and how information is delivered. With all this change, it's a good thing we have a steady hand and a clear thinking, intelligent guy at the top who is smart enough to make decisions based on a team of people who are likely even more knowledgeable than Obama is in their respective areas of expertise. Let me also note that Obama's communications team continues to amaze me by their mastery of message and the means of delivering it both through new media and old.
From the editorial:
"I know that America bears our share of responsibility for the mess that we all face. But I also know that we need not choose between a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism and an oppressive government-run economy. That is a false choice that will not serve our people or any people....
The nations of the world have a stake in one another. The United States is ready to join a global effort on behalf of new jobs and sustainable growth. Together, we can learn the lessons of this crisis, and forge a prosperity that is enduring and secure for the 21st century."
Read the entire editorial.
