Rate the Speech

I am shocked that there is no thread on the speech, itself. There are 3 or 4 , or more pages over the "Us invented the automobile", but nothing on the speech.
So, What do you all think?

As speeches go, I thought it was pretty good. His delivery was excellent. He hit some positives--good, Much better than talking the economy down.

The national health system, may be an idea whose time has come. I say that reluctantly, because I sincerly believe it will hurt the overall health care. But from an economics viewpoint, our present system puts the US at an economic disadvantage in a world market. If our world-wide competitors have government-funded healthcare, our manufacturers are at a disadvantage because they must pay it as an employee benefit.

The problems I had with the speech are with what wasn't said--the details. And, as they say, the devil is in the details. There was a lot of warm-fuzzy speech that MAY be cover for total socialism.
What do you all think?
