Do you think Chris Matthews or Candy Crowley will be reporting this trend?
State of the Union viewers – 2009 – 52 million
State of the Union viewers – 2010 – 48 million
State of the Union viewers – 2011 – 43 million
State of the Union viewers – 2012 – 38 million
State of the Union viewers – 2013 – 33 million
That’s only 33% less people choosing to hear his lies in only 5 years. Obama loses viewers as quickly as he adds people to the food stamp rolls. This is a tribute to the Savior’s teleprompter skills. Even moron Bush got 37 million viewers in his 8th SOTU. Will the liberal Obama worshipping MSM report on this atrocious showing? The mood of the country deteriorates by the day and only non-thinking dullards care what Obama has to say. For some perspective, American Idol draws 15 to 20 million viewers every week. Honey Boo Boo draws 3 million viewers. By 2016 Obama will be drawing 15 million for his annual lie-fest.
Obama speech draws 33.5 million TV viewers
About 33.5 million people tuned in to watch President Obama outline his agenda for a second term during his State of the Union Address, Nielsen said Wednesday.
That’s the smallest TV viewing audience for one of Obama’s speeches to a joint session of Congress, according to figures by the TV ratings company. Last year, 37.8 million people watched Obama deliver the annual speech.
Obama was forceful in his hour-long remarks on Tuesday night, calling on Congress to raise the minimum wage, overhaul the nation’s immigration system and approve new gun-control measures. His speech was a companion to his address last month at his public inauguration.
A presidential address isn’t nearly the draw of the Super Bowl, which had an audience that topped 109 million this year, according to Nielsen data. But Obama’s speeches have done better than a new episode of NCIS, the highly rated CBS drama, which pulled in more than 21.8 million people a couple of weeks ago.
About 52.4 million people watched Obama’s remarks in 2009. That technically was not a State of the Union speech, but it was billed as a joint address to Congress and Obama’s first as president.

The 7 million drop in viewership can be traced to the fact that the 7 million additional SSDI enrolees in the past year have not received their free TV’s yet.

I wonder if I was counted. When I turned the TV on, Obamby was speaking. I turned it as quickly as I could so as NOT to be counted.

It was on every channel (if you don’t have satellite). What choice did people have?
That’s just less than 10% of the population.
Probably the 10% that’s too fucking stupid to figure out how to walk down to the welfare office and sign up. They were hoping Obama would offer a toll-free number to call “1-800-FREE-SHIT”

Did anybody see this shit?
“As the President begins his speech, Comrade Valerie Jarett goes into a little jig in the audience, much to the surprise and approval of those near her.”
These are the people we have running this country?

First Lady Above the United States Moochelle Obama tries to appear interested, as her husband reads from the teleprompter and speaks to his indentured subjects via live television on every possible TV channel, coast to coast.
Even the wookie looks mad and frustrated

A video of Smokey taking his State of the Union dump would draw more than that (mostly folks hoping for a glimpse of his 11 1/2 inch pocket python).

I wish I had the money to get an insect biologist to whip me up a batch of house fly pheremones and I could get a House employee to spray it on the presidents podium just prior to the SOTU. Then as the president begins his speech release a few thousand flies into the chamber and watch as the president, at first, swats away one of two flies that start buzzing around his head only to be swarmed by more and more until he is completely covered in them and is driven from the podium as an incredulous Congress and public looks on the spectacle.

His next plan to push forward will be Obama Televisions, so the government can adequately warn people in case of a terrorist attack.

For those who have read or seen Hunger Games/trilogy-be glad that watching this shit is still optional. When the Capital broadcasts an annual spectacle, viewing in the Districts is mandatory.
