Tuesday Night: SOTU Ratings Down, Golf Channel Ratings Break Record (Rush Beats Obama Alert)
Rush Limbaugh ^ | 01/27/2011 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/27/2011 3:19:57 PM PST by goldstategop

RUSH: The TV ratings for the Obama State of Union show were down over last year, significantly down. The Golf Channel ratings for the same time, nine o'clock on Tuesday night, I just heard this morning, were a record high. Voila! I mean if that's not a great thing, I don't know what it is. And I want to thank all of you for making it happen out there.

Rush's Haney Project beat Obama in the TV ratings. More people watched the Golf Channel than they watched Obama's SOTU address!

Heh

Update: Across all 11 networks that carried the State of the Union address it averaged 42.8 million viewers.

Still 42 million people watching is not bad. Rush had how many? Yes it was on every channel but he won by 56 million people in 2008. I don’t think this is a victory by any means. I guess if it makes us feel good inside that is fine but let’s not stretch stuff.

Not sure Rush said he beat the SOTU. Just that ratings for the SOTU Show were down from last year and that the Golf Channel ratings were up.

I bet even Obummer wished he was at home watching the Haney Project to pick up tips instead of giving that bomb of a speech.

More tangible evidence that no one believes a word this Liar in Chief has to say. It is all media spin.

I’m thinking that of those 42 million some people needed a good laugh.

0.3 for the golf channel is very good.
It’s an apples to oranges comparison.

The point is Zer0 is losing steam.

I dumped Obama TV a year ago. I have been trying to watch Haney’s show on the web. Rush is entertaining. Rush does come off a bit as a know it all. He is also probably trying to entertain.

Hank Haney is a pretty nice guy. The reject Tiger fan boys were dumping on Haney trying to say Tiger’s lousy play was Haney’s fault. The Tiger fan boys said “oh Tiger should ask Butch Harmon if he will take him back.” Harmon had been Tiger’s coach. Butch Harmon has no interest.

I watched ¡A que no puedes! followed by Omar Pineda's El Clima Por Mañana on the local digital broadcast Spanish station instead.

I only understand a smidgen of Spanish, but they both made more sense than Obama and weren't nearly so annoying.

I didn’t watch it. I figured I’d just catch Rush the next day for his critique. I’m just wondering who of those 41 million watched it? Surely there can’t be that many Libs in the US.

LOL! I just realized something.

Follow this with me.

At least twice today Rush Limbaugh referred to tonight’s episode of the Haney Project, but pointing out that he knew last summer, that this particular episode would air on the Tuesday after your big football weekend.....

Maybe Rush also figured out that Obozo would delay his January speech for as long as possible.....

At 9pm Eastern, Rush is going head to head (as they say) for TV ratings against Barry.
Soetoro.

Go RUSH!
I’m watching GOLF tonight, and I can’t stand golf!

Think about it. ;-)

Perhaps in three years Obama can star in the Haney project against the state of the union. I am assuming no SOTU in an inauguration year.
