I must have missed it

For those of you that are curious, Obama's super special, ultra spectacular healthcare infomercial was a dud in the ratings last Wednesday night.
ABC's Brarackspactacular Healthcare Extravaganza (I think that was the official name of the show, wasn't it?) went up against the NBC premiere of "The Philanthropist," widely panned as disappointing, and a repeat of "CSI: NY" on CBS, widely seen as already once widely seen. Unfortunately for ABC, its prop"O"ganda special got a dismal 1.2 rating to the 2.0 and 1.8 ratings respectively for the entertainment competition.
Apparently the TV show where he's president but plays a doctor on TV didn't go over well. The "Super-dooper, Obamalicious, Doctor Spock medicine woman show" was only able to cajole 4.703 million viewers into watching while NBC picked up 7.414 and CBS got 7.393 in the ten O'Clock hour. Remembering that we have 300 million citizens and healthcare is supposed to be the biggest emergency in history, well, that is a paltry number of viewers that Doc Barack got....

So far.
Soon it could become a "no laughing" matter.
I must have missed it
I wish more people had watched it.
I wish everyone waiting for a pace maker had watched. I wish everyone who needs a hip replacement, who is disabled and those who worry about getting Alzheimer’s had watched it.
The total unfairness of ABC not allowing contrary views, even paid ads, will backfire.
Obama is in a dog fight from now on in the US Congress.
He has people’s attention, and folks like Rush and Glenn Beck will spread the word.
“President but plays a doctor.” Hell, we’re not even sure he’s president!
Exactly why this blunder-bill may not get so far. The fact is, there is no "healthcare crisis" in this country, and it has become increasingly difficult for the Obamite attack dogs to stir up anxiety in the crisis-fatigued public.
In short, nobody watched because nobody cared.
If the GOP has the damn sense to pound on the increase in taxes, the rationing of care and the government control over private lives, all for nothing, then there is a good chance to torpedo this slave ship before it reaches port.
All those people who didn’t tune in missed Obama telling old folks to take an aspirin and go die.
They also missed him saying that a person having a fighting love of life spirit was not a reason to give them healthcare.
I hope someone makes an ad with his cold assed words in it.
I’d sooner watch the cars rust
