I thought it was pretty good overall. He certainly made the liberal argument quite well at the end.
I liked that he left the door on tort reform open (even if just a little) and stated in no uncertain terms the deficit spending wasn't an option. Even if this isn't very feasible, it will force the Dems to cut costs or face their own words come election time.
What I found much more interesting was the Republican response. Quite tame compared to the town hall chaos, and seemed to be more of a road map for how the GOP was ready to compromise.
If that's all indeed the case, this speech could go a long way towards a bill that actually makes some sense.
