According to Nielsen, 29 million people watched President Obama's address about Iraq last night. The address went from 8 PM ET to approximately 8:20 PM, and aired on 11 networks, including all four major broadcast channels and all of the cable news channels, as well as Univision and Telemundo.
Viewership was down 9% compared to his last address in June about the Gulf oil spill, and down 28% from his December 2009 address on his strategy for Afghanistan.
That doesn’t sound like much. Might as well play an audio of Charlie Brown’s teacher.
Confession: Guilty. We watched it. We usually try not to watch 0bama. But our 3 sons all served in Iraq with USMC, and we wanted to see how he would spin the “success” in Iraq theme. It was about what we expected, but maybe not as long as we thought he would go.
I was busy washing my hair.
Well, uh... I'm... uh ... not sure.... why... uh.... that could be....... uh..... Gomer.
That’s weird. No one I know watched it.
But then again, my peer group isn’t exactly sympathetic to the mohammicommie.
There are 307,006,550 people in the US ...I guess most of them were busy huh?
We had completly stopped watch BO until we saw this:

Well, a lot of the 38 million in California are usually busy at 5 pm on a weeknight, at least the stiffs who still have jobs.
Just pass out the B-B BINGO sheet linked above to your friends, they’ll all watch.....and laugh!
I have one friend that I gave it to this morning. She owns a small business....Already made twenty copies to share.
Semper Fi
I didn’t. We could have another 9/11 and I wouldn’t watch his speeches. I know Glenn/Rush/Levin/Hannity will take apart any speech The Commie reads off the TOTUS, so I’ll just wait for the soundbites.
I was busy sitting in silence and staring into space in order to make the most of the moment.
didn’t hear a word the b*st*rd said...did see the pictures of him from the brown room in the brown house...i am talking of the image, the pictures of the oval office...no blues, no reds, no whites, no golds, no silvers nor yellows...oh yea there was the color black to go with the browns...the desert browns, the mud hut browns...kinda matches the new colors of the DOJ web site...BLACK...not the usual patriotic red, blue and white...yea why would this president be patriotic to AMERICA...he wasn’t even born here...but he does hate us...he is teaching me a great deal about hate too!
pathetic...disgusting...i hate this crap and never believed i would live long enough to see what is happening in broad daylight right before our eyes
I had Fox News on...but opted to take my evening walk - so I couldn’t watch it. Unfortunately - I left the TV on for the hour I was walking...so I counted as a viewer.
29 million watched it; Rasmussen, 29% strong approval. Pure coincidence? Maybe, maybe not...
