Speaking of American Idol, did you know Idol topped Obama's inaugural speech (prime time)?

In primetime, Fox's "American Idol" scored the biggest numbers Tuesday, as auds seemed to tire of inaugural coverage. Sure, ABC did solid numbers for its coverage of the inaugural balls, but news specials on CBS and NBC were not competitive with entertainment programs in their time periods.

According to preliminary nationals for Nielsen, "American Idol" dominated Tuesday's opening hour with an 8.9 rating/22 share in adults 18-49 and 22.4 million viewers overall. It was down sharply from last week's two-hour premiere, as expected, but also came in more than 15% below the show's second Tuesday episode of a year ago. Still, it provided a strong lead-in for rookie drama "Fringe" (4.7/11 in 18-49, 12.1 million viewers overall), which led or tied for the 9 o'clock lead in key young-adult demo categories.
Idol trumps Obama coverage

I just recognize excellence when I see it, I voted for Reagan, not Bush 1 or Clinton or Bush 2. Notice I was about 22 years old at the time but nobody ever hit 525 Electoral Votes,(and when I voted who knew how many he'd get?) nobody has ever gotten above 500, Reagan did and he did it for turning around the economy and the mess left by the Democrats who controlled Congress and the Presidency . Like I said he made the economy work and the people to the tune of 16 MILLION jobs.

Imagine that, one of the greatest Presidents in U.S. history, a stark raving racist! I knew there was some reason why I loathed him.

The your implied response indicates that I loathe the "success of Ronald Reagan". I admit that he was a charismatic president, if not a dubious Governor of California, and a second or third-tier B-movie actor.
He was a "closet racist"....and a neo-con. I loathe him, for who he was, and what he didn't do.

You did for Obama didn't you? Sure you did and he's going to punish business and industry for being successful, therefor you loath success.

Did that bring it down to your level?

Really, Guy...you must calm down. Prozac or Elavil might help. Otherwise, someone might accuse you of being "rabid".
Punish business and industry? Like the bailout of Wall St. and the Automakers?
I don't give a poop about business. I do, however, give a poop about Joe Blow, not being able to meet his mortgage payment, because he was pink slipped, because his job was outsourced overseas, so that management could realize bigger profits.
Sorry, I'm anti-business, and pro-worker. And I believe in unions.
And there was no need for you to be remedial with me....I went to college, and can keep up with the "big boys'.
