That headline is kind of surprising. May be wrong too, as some of the more current methods to tune in were not in the tally. It does however, seem an indicator that as disillusioned as many are today with GWB, that sentiment may have been greater for Carter…and Carter accomplished this disenchantment in one term!
Interesting. I was just about to make the same post, only I was going to title it, “The Gipper beats The One.” If Dutch was alive today, he would likely shed a tear over the direction this country has taken.
“Nearly 37.8 million Americans watching at home viewed President Barack Obama’s oath of office and inaugural speech between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET on January 20, 2009. This is the most viewed inauguration since the record of 41.8 million viewers who watched Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inauguration.”
I didn’t watch either one. I had better things to do with my time.
