The Health Care Bomb

Apparently I wasn't the only one who didn't watch it:
President Obama's town hall meeting on health care delivered a sickly rating Wednesday evening.

The one-hour ABC News special 'Primetime: Questions for the President: Prescription for America' (4.7 million viewers, 1.1 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour (against NBC's 'The Philanthropist' debut and a repeat of 'CSI: NY' on CBS). The special tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network.
Questions about Obamacare aside, this doesn't look good for the man who's supposed to be such a gifted speaker (or maybe that's only when he's campaigning). But if you consider it an actual informercial, then it was probably on par with the rest of them.
