Picture of the Day - 2
Kurtz: "In prompting the broadcast networks to preempt such fare as "The Bachelor" and "House," Obama guaranteed himself a sizable audience. And by talking until 9 p.m., he left virtually no time for analysis on those networks."
Interesting point. Was 9PM intentional? Fill all the space with your message, and leave nothing for the networks to frame?

On CNN, in the seconds remaining before commercial, there was one commentator who made remarks about how Obama's speech was the same old tax n' spend rhetoric, without any new ideas. It barely fit in before cutting away.

I don't know if that was the plan, but it would seem to be a good one.
No media framing of the Congressional problems, no real chance for rebuttal.
