Five Pillars Speech – this is the appellation that I have given to the speech that President Obama gave at Georgetown University on 2009 April 14. The White House provided transcript (via TalkingPointsMemo) has the speech’s title as "Obama Speaks On Economy"– a title that doesn’t seem to capture the essence of the speech.
After several readings of the transcript, the second half of the speech seems to be the most critical part; and it deserves greater public analyses than it has received thus far.
After the jump, a highlight of President Obama’s five pillars for a new foundation of national economic growth and prosperity is provided.
