9. That was his standard stump speech. Actually, nothing new but it always sounds great.

3. I like how he just stated that he's been accused of pedaling "false hope"
It's good to see that he's paying attention and is speaking to this criticism. I am pleased at this part of his speech.

10. I love the part where he lists off all the things which have been done in this country
which would have been seen as false hopes needing a reality check before they happened - the biggest of which is the fact that the country even exists - the Revolutionary War - what a bunch of crazy hopemongers those ragtag colonists were back then.

13. Did he call his health care plan "universal"?
He's not being honest when he says everyone will be covered.

14. Speech was good!
Will he stay the course he outlined in the speech? If so, can't wait to have him nominated.
However, Bzezy, Carter's Sec of State as an adviser, is this true? This does scare me!
