My thoughts on the speech:
It was solid, upbeat, and strong. Even the House Republicans were standing and applauding several times during the night. Obama committed some strong language, that we "do not torture", that dropping out of high school is "quitting on your country", that America "will rebuild".
He gave a pretty decent explanation of the credit crisis and the bank problems. He challenged Congress to get him the legislation he wants to sign, but he also gave strong reasons why that legislation needs to be passed into law.
Cure for cancer in his lifetime, a little much. Maybe. But you know, Obama's got a good, what, 50 years plus ahead of him? Why not?
I liked the speech, overall.
