Clarus Research Group Survey: Top Political Strategists React to Obama's Health Care Speech, Rate Effectiveness
Date:9/10/2009

e and effort to straddle the middle of the road.
  • Obfuscation rather than searching for real solutions, and his demonstration of bipartisan cooperation is nonexistent.
  • Good delivery, well written. But when the policy is wrong, it doesn't matter how good the rhetoric is.

    • Selected comments from Democrats surveyed:

    • This same speech would have been twice as effective if it had been given three months ago.
    • Great speech, but wanted to hear more of the moral/emotional pull up front.
    • A very reassuring speech, well delivered. Had it been the opening salvo in the health care debate months ago, the Republicans would now be on the defense.
    • Best speech to a Joint Session I've ever heard.
    • Too soft on the opposition's efforts to kill any reform.
    • Somewhere between Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter.
    • Republicans acted like churlish adolescents. It is one thing to be in opposition, it is quite another to be rude and disrespectful.

    Selected comments from Nonpartisans surveyed:

    • Solid performance, but too late. He lost control of the issue two months ago.
    • He needed to hit one out of the park tonight and he did just that.
    • He may not have changed the dynamic, but he set his markers effectively. He needs to take the issue away from both Pelosi and Republican hardliners.
    • Strong speech, but not a "game changer."
    • Will his rhetoric hold up when the details are ironed out?
