Only 25.4 Million Watch Obama's Afghanistan Speech

Remember President Barack Obama's speech several weeks ago about withdrawing 33,000 troops from Afghanistan?

You don't? Well, you're not alone.

The Hollywood Reporter reported this morning that a record low 25.4 million Americans tuned into Obama's national address, which is almost 40% less than his 2009 counterpart address that announced the surge in the first place.

Ouch.

This isn't something new, as fewer and fewer Americans have tuned into Obama's various disaster, economic and military speech's since his inauguration in January 2009. But this is simply pathetic. President Obama can no longer attract more citizens to wartime addresses than to American Idol season finales.

What say you?

P.S. - The only thing Americans missed Wednesday night was a headache. Trust me.
