"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.

Yes! His shout-out to athiests was way cool, topped only by "we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals," which although not entirely unique to this speech now carried the weight of a sitting president - and has already been acted upon in the last few days! Woohoo!
