"He should have stressed health care more... He didn't promise single-payer..."

Fuck, he had both sides of the aisle inspired, he spoke truth, he got to the root of it, it couldn't have been better, IMO.

19. It was better than I had expected, and I'm a huge fan...
A huge fan.

And reading the text along with listening and watching made it all the better.

He didn't really pull any punches, and there were no surprises, plans expressed were consistent with what was said during the campaign.

26. Easily as good, and with fewer slogans and with more substance.
Reagan can move over, I think Obama will prove to be the better communicator to objective observers.

23. But, was it "optimistic" enough?

I only wish Jindal could have STFU for 30 minutes after the address ended.
