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.

That’s weird. No one I know watched it.

But then again, my peer group isn’t exactly sympathetic to the mohammicommie.

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.

Thank you and your sons for their service to our country and the USMC. You have reason to be proud.

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.

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.

Obama was boring enough to hypnotize a brick.

29 million watched it; Rasmussen, 29% strong approval. Pure coincidence? Maybe, maybe not...

I'd sooner have had someone power-sand my ass than sit through that, even having exited the military when Jimmy Carter was elected and being interested in spin and such related to my 8 years service.. Even not seeing it, I predict it was passionless where it needed to be and pandering where it didn't need to be. Above all else it was self-aggrandizing where it absolutely was not earned ....close?
