I have given myself time to think about the speech, as a matter of performance I think its B- on the whole. It had all the Obama rhetorical skills but it was flawed on its main substance, the President didn't have the courage to dump the public option in public, one can presume that he wants to do a deal outside the glare of the voter. On aspect that was pointed out on Fox News is the cost, Obama wants to give the appearance that it will not cost, that rubbish, how ever bad the government runs its health programmes, it does not cost nine hundred billion. Thus lets see if this weakness can be used by Republicans to hurt the Obama push for Health Reform. As to the actual ideas in the speech they are good but once conned you read the details. The one thing you can guarantee about health costs is that they go up, that the problem with the NHS in the UK. Either Obama actually believes his own spin or he is being economic with the truth. One can postulate that the elite media will sing the praise of the speech, its the details folks, click to read full text of speech.
