"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.

on Q1, I don't know, but I'd be interested in the answer. I certainly noticed.

We're only three presidents past the one who said, while in office, that he didn't think atheists should be citizens. This is a pretty substantial switch -- although not the first time Obama has made the shout out to those of us of the unbelieving persuasion.
