New Taxi Drivers

Apparently Tommy Friedman traveled or met a new "everyman" character.

Who will tell the people? We are not who we think we are. We are living on borrowed time and borrowed dimes. We still have all the potential for greatness, but only if we get back to work on our country.

I don’t know if Barack Obama can lead that, but the notion that the idealism he has inspired in so many young people doesn’t matter is dead wrong. “Of course, hope alone is not enough,” says Tim Shriver, chairman of Special Olympics, “but it’s not trivial. It’s not trivial to inspire people to want to get up and do something with someone else.”


I'm sure the press, the Clinton and McCain campaigns, would agree, but for the fact those tire-irons in their hands must be meant for something and Obama's knees are so tempting.
