"Good job everybody."

Also:

• Is this the first time a sitting U.S. president gave a shout-out to nonreligious Americans in a major speech? (He used the word 'non-believers', which I also approve of.)

• I was glad that there didn't seem to be much chanting after his speech. The time for that stuff is done; now is the time to get to work.

He seemed to hesitate before he said it, I wonder if he had been debating whether to include it or not. I'm glad he did.

I'm all verclempt and such, especially at the idea that Henry doesn't understand the big deal and could grow up taking the idea that a black man can be president for granted.

I noticed the odd beat! To me it looked more like it wasn't written down in front of him, and he ad-libbed it in. I think I hope that's what happened!

I wonder if there will be any talk from the speech writers to tell which it was...
