That's what one of the righties said about Pres. Obama's speech.

http://aantares.com/eve/forums...480075236#9480075236

But look at this:
quote:
The Nielsen ratings just came out for last night’s presidential address. An astonishing 31 million viewers tuned in to listen to Obama address the joint session of Congress. In comparison, only 5.4 million viewers watched the GOP debate at the Reagan Library the previous night. Not even the opening game of the NFL season could outdraw the president; the Saints and Packers attracted 27 million ecstatic football fans.

From Charlie's link above:

quote:
Other Obama speeches have been delivered in prime time; the jobs speech was at 7 p.m., after negotiations with Congress and concerns about bumping into the opening game of the National Football League season.


7PM is not prime time and there was a pre-game show at the NFL game.

I'm glad that Americans everywhere got to observe the embarrassing arrogance of the teaparty Republicans in the face of their President.

That stat is also shows how unimportant the Republican debate was the previous night and why it was quite correct for Obama to pay no attention to its scheduling...

Oh, I forgot. The Republicans gave security concerns as the reason for having to reschedule the Presidential address. The debate had nothing to do with it. My bad.

Obama handily beat NBC's broadcasting the NFL season opener between the Saints and Green Bay. (27 million viewers) Is Charlie gonna tell us that was because the much anticipated sports event was only on one network?

I don't think so.... LOL!   :lol:.

ROTF   :rotf: You are quick to remind us whenever FOX is the big news ratings winner in spite of the fact that MSNBC does not have as many outlets. They're gaining on ya now though...Watch out...Wink   ;)

FOX News got about 4 million viewers of the first Republican debate during prime time. The President wasn't even given prime time (8-10pm in the East)....and blew everyone out of the water.

I don't what you're whining about.
A lot more coverage by a lot more networks because a lot bigger audience was anticipated.
Anticipation predicted well in advance of the speech.
Anticipation fulfilled.

Given Fox News' leanings to the right,
it would have chosen NOT to cover the speech if that would have reduced the size of the audience.
It didn't, and it wouldn't have.

The fact is, Americans really wanted to hear Obama.
Far fewer cared about what the Republican candidates had to say.

And as far as LD's lead comment, Absolutely, Obama did indeed have to deliver it before Congress.
What, have the coach pep talk the audience instead of the players? Nonsense.

It really bothers you Obama's speech went so well.
I'm glad.

The President or the Democrats coerced Fox News to cover the Presidential address?
Obama's large audience was a conspiracy of the media?

I'm sorry. Did you say you don't follow people to other boards and harass them?
Listen, if you don't like what I have to say, complain to CJ.
When you do, keep in mind that accusing anyone on the wide open internet of being a terrorist against America
is a criminal offense.
It's not just stupid. It's a death wish.
I hope you get what you deserve, you stupid man.

It's 10 Sept. In a few hours, it'll be 11 Sept.

Accusing anyone
on the wide open internet
of being a terrorist against America
("sent anyone email lately?")
is a criminal offense.

Charlie, you aren't going to weasel out of this one.
I grabbed your original post for all to see.
It was a stupid, reckless thing to do.
Apologize.

I have never sent anyone email that they shouldn't be wasting their time on the internet.

I have posted -- every chance that I could -- the following:
Given the amount of time you waste here, could you offer even a small amount of your time to help those less fortunate?

If that's Communist / Marxist, then so was Jesus.

Dragging skeletons out of the closet is against TOS.
As chief button pusher, you surely know that.
Apologize.

If you really think I have your picture, give me your address and I'll mail you the negative.

Revising your remark was an uncharacteristically wise thing for you to do.
The internet is crawling with law enforcement listeners all weekend.

You should stop posting and just stay in bed until the anniversary of 9/11 expends its last anxieties.

You are acting weird. Very weird.

You've been shooting your mouth off and saying things that could get you in trouble.
Implying someone's been sending messages during a period of possible terrorist attack.
Characterizing Obama as a Communist Marxist.
Dragging skeletons out of the closet thereby violating TOS rules.
