It is hurting him big time.
If this is not proof that ABC,NBC and CBS are not in the tank for this guy..I don't know what is. Prime time again. He speaks...they jump.
Watch the polls...the more we see him....down he goes!
If anyone believes his promises on health care...they have rocks in their heads.
I think it is great...keep going Obama! We are already sick of you...make us all sicker.
I think it should be Joe Biden, a comedy hour would be so much more entertaining!
If CBS cares about ratings, they'll stick with regular programming. No? I suppose socializing healthcare is more important than making a buck.
