I believe Obama had his speech edited in light of the criticisms.
I heard much of the speech today and I heard borderline socialist undertones. Any reference to things along the lines of (not verbatum) "help me to help this country" and "if you don't stay in school, you let down your country" are collectivism, which is good, but can detour into pseudosocialism if tax payers aren't conscious and critical at every turn.
It all goes back to what I've been saying all along (besides that he talks too damn much and is as annoyingly visible as Beyonce is). Obama wants to be liked and revered. He wants to be considered an eloquent speaker and yadayadayada. Not necessary to be a good POTUS. I don't have to like the POTUS. Just do your job and we as a people need to remain aware and critical.
