Well..
It left me optimistic. The best quotes to me were:

"We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.

"In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the fainthearted -- for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom."

No, I'm fishing for all science to get out of the censored federal cover it has been under. Some of our federal agencies (USGS, NASA, NOAA etc.) have the best and brightest being stifled. It would be good to see them back out where they belong, un-politicized.

I agree, I see someone looking to restore are place in the world, not pandering...
