The highest rated inauguration ever

Straight from Radar online, to which thanks are due:

"Given the outpouring of support, you'd think the ratings for the inauguration of President Barack Obama would have been the highest ever.

Not so! He's number 2: more people watched the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Reagan was watched by 37.4 of American households vs. 29.2 for Obama. George Bush is the lowest on record, pulling roughly one-third that of Reagan".

Maybe Republicans were happier to be shot of Carter than Dems were to be shot of Bush the Younger...

Maybe Obama isn't going to be much of a departure from Bush the younger. Same policies but a better speaker.
