This is a survey that was sent to me and I thought I would share the information gathered. Below is the content unedited as presented with no edits.
Now I had my own impression and did a short post on what I thought of the speech, leaving out most of the politics and giving credit to the President as due for 
his speech, intelligence, focus and professionalism. You can read my comments at the link below. I figured there were enough others out there going to analyze, thus the departure from the normal Monday Morning Quarterback routine.
I Like The Way He Thinks – President Obama
The one idea I would perhaps suggest to the Republican group holding up the paper bills would be to perhaps consider a Tablet PC, Kindle, or some other type of E-book, at least to signify they are staying up with the times instead of reams of paper, hold up your information in “electronic format” to make your point. Even back in the days of President Bush, he was even orchestrated enough to hold up a Tablet PC with his “E-Bill”, so let’s see those E-Bills on some portable electronics, ok? Of course we didn’t get to see him use it, but it made a statement.
Using some new technology when in front of the US citizens can go a very long way to help change old paradigms and that can apply to everyone, we see the President holding his BlackBerry, which represents change and embracing technology, so how about the rest of the government?
An E-Bill printed on paper, killing trees is not really an E-Bill in the correct format. This is a little perception from a healthcare geek’s point of view(grin). BD
