Obama's A Ratings Star

President Barack Obama gave his first speech to Congress on Tuesday night.
And, luckily for everyone, it was televised for our viewing pleasure. It even pre-empted Idol! No one seemed to miss A.I., though. Barack can still pull in the ratings!
His speech aired during primetime, taking over the 9 p.m. time slot. It drew in a 24.5 metered-market household rating across the four major broadcast networks airing it.
And of all the stations, NBC actually drew in the strongest numbers with a 7.8 rating for the time slot.
If this whole White House thing doesn’t work out, he’s always got a career in television!
