ABC's White House special struggled for viewers President Obama's town hall meeting on health care delivered a sickly rating Wednesday evening.
The one-hour ABC News special "Primetime: Questions for the President: Prescription for America" (4.7 million viewers, 1.1 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. The special tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network.
The special was shot at the White House and featured the president answering questions about his health care plan. The president's primary message was that those who like their current insurance will be able to keep it and that taking no action will result in higher health care costs.
The special drew fire from Republican leadership after refusing to allow an official opposition response, or even a paid ad. ABC also interviewed Obama on "Good Morning America" to help promote the special.
I am on Google searching every day and I will go up into the 40’s and 50’s pages looking. I see the same photos taken of them by various media and from different angles all the time.
No doubt there are instances of them being ‘fixed up’ but the general media doesn't have the time to alter all photos.
More of the bikini babe photos have been ‘altered’ than the Obama’s, lol.
Well, both sides know what he wants to do, and what would and wouldn't be 'allowed' on the infomercial, so who would bother watching?
.
Don’t they mean viewers struggled to avoid it?
Under usual circumstances, maybe. But Obama’s a unique circumstance. people used to watch him on anything just for the novelty and he made them feel good. Sky high ratings. This may mean the popularity cult is declining. Once that happens, they’ll view him as any standard politician and then he becomes vulnerable.
I think others had to do the same. I heard that the ratings for Barry’s infomercial weren’t too hot.
I would give my eye teeth if just one person had stood and prefaced a question with, “You seem a bit disoriented and confused.” Wow, would pay to see the meltdown!

Yes, he didn’t even throw her under the bus and gramma didn’t get run over by a reindeer. He threw her into a hearse.
DearLeader is NOT happy about his ratings. LOL
That's what they get for removing the TV privileges of folks who refuse to pay for cable.
Raising Death Tax to pay for Government Medical care sounds like a good idea. That tax bracket will increase under the government’s management skils are applied.
That is the core of government Health care. It is no longer about lives and living but cash and costs. When the guy deciding on live or death surgery for you is more interested in his budget than your life, you're a dead man walking.
And to top it off, saving even 50% of the costs in health care from supposed "waste" will not pay for expanding health care costs by ten times. Half of a five gallon bucket cannot fill a swimming pool.

Compare your top photo of Michelle walking the dog with Michelle in a tight black outfit in the garden
Pay attention the her very slim legs and upper arms in the garden pic
That photo was Photoshopped
I’ve know media editors and photographers
They alter photographs to suit their agendas

Is an early coffin

They want to ration health care to the elderly so they'll die off faster because they plan to steal their inheritances to pay for others they deem more deserving of health care...and you think that is a good idea? You might want to rethink that one, dear.

Let's hope that they are indicative of low support for his disastrous health care plan.
Still four million — four million too many IYAM.
