I caught part of his speech at C-Span a short time ago.

The President seemed calm, clear-headed, and confident.

Highlights of the speech, from what I remember, from the point when I tuned in, borrowing some of the text from Whitehouse.gov
  Nation's Education System Must Prepare A New Generation Of American Workers To Fill The Jobs Of The 21st Century.

The United States Must Have A Health Care System That Puts Patients In Charge Of Decisions, Offers Greater Choice, And Allows Workers To Own Their Own Health Care.

Reform And Strengthen The Nation s Health Care Safety Net. The government has opened or expanded more than 800 community health centers to improve care for those most in need. The President has renewed the promise of Medicare by signing into law a bill providing our seniors with preventive medicine, better health care choices, and, starting this coming January, a prescription drug benefit option for every Medicare recipient.

promoting the expanded use of information technology by computerizing medical records.

Government Needs To Address The Junk Lawsuits That Impose A Burden On Our Economy....

save Social Security for our children and grandchildren.

To Keep The Economy Growing And Creating Jobs, The Government Needs To Continue Opening Foreign Markets To American Products.

Trade Promotion Authority, The President Is Opening Foreign Markets To American Goods, Services And Farm Products.

break down trade barriers so that American products are welcomed and sold on every continent.

He said some problems, like Social Security, need to be dealt with now and he will not pass the problem to some future president.

He made a joke about his being 62 when he retires in 2008 (good timing for retirement)

Did he, by chance, mention cutting federal spending at all?
