A new national media study among 951 viewers of President Barack Obama's speech to Congress in which he focused on his plan for health care reform revealed that more than half of all political parties reported that the speech was "somewhat or extremely effective."

The study was conducted by HCD Research last night among self-reported Republicans, Democrats and Independents to obtain their perceptions of President Obama's speech focusing on U.S. health care reform. To view detailed results go to: www.mediacurves.com.

The study also revealed that the majority of Democrats reported that they have a better perception of health care reform after viewing Obama's speech, while Republicans' perceptions were relatively unchanged and Independents were split on their reactions to the speech.

Would anyone like to be in President Obama's situation, working their butts off to present their proposals on health care? I hate it that President Obama is faced with attempting to correct the stupidity of the last administration. Why don't you all pay attention to what he is attempting to do? I am 58 years old and have no insurance because I have no job. I trust President Obama more that I trust his critics. I truly believe that the Republican party wants him to fail (read your newspapers). In the mean time, sit down and shut the heck up and allow him to procede with effective health care! Is there a reason why our elected representatives cannot address the President's plan with applied mediation? It is appearant to me that the Republicans, together with high paid lobbyists are attempting to derail his plan. In my opinion, the opposition is threatened by President Obama's stealth performance and display a lack respect for our nations leader. (you know who you are) What the heck is wrong with you idiots? So now, Ted Kennedy is not here to fight for the cause of the nation and you are demeaning his integrity. I'm sick of paying ignorant representatives that don't give a crap about me. As long as they are paid the big bucks, that's all they care about! So, give me something to work with that earns my respect!
