"The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good."Someone smart once told me that the White House is the ultimate platform to articulate purpose. Obama is proving to be one of the most powerful communicators we've seen on the progressive side in a long time -- which was one of the main reasons I supported him for President as early as the Fall of 2006.
As progressives, we haven't done a great job with our narrative about the economy. I'm starting to think following Obama's lead, and building on the framing and approach he used in that speech, could be a good way to go.
