Your President Speaks


Here's the transcript of Obama's speech on the economy he gave at Georgetown University earlier today.

As ever, I appreciate his continued attempts to explain the genesis of the economic crisis in a succinct and easily-understandable way. I like that he wants the American people to understand how we got here, in the hope that we will not be doomed to arrive at the same destination again.

Steve says: "The one thing I always like about President Obama's speeches is that he just doesn't talk down to his audience. He seems intent on treating Americans like grown-ups, and today's speech on the economy was no different." I totally agree. Every time Iain and I have listened to one of his addresses together, we've commented on precisely the same thing. Refreshing!
