The speech was on live TV. Too bad you missed it, I didn't!

It was on live around 10:30am ET or so. GWB has always given these fabulous speeches during weekdays - in the middle of the day - when most people are at work or at school. I think only news/political junkies like us see them IF we happen to be around a television during the day.

I've been complaining for the last six years that GWB needs to do speeches like this during prime time. I think his poll ratings and - more importantly - the country's attitude toward him and the War on Terrorism would dramatically improve if he "sold" his ideas on a regular basis to the American people the way Clintoon did...

The press won't interrupt their prime-time for the President...didn't you know that? It's criminal I think.

I think that there is a very limited number of times per year that the President can give Prime Time speech and the networks will carry it, let us say no more than 3 or 4 times including the State of the Union Address.

How many prime time speeches Clinton gave?
