Maybe Obama should go on "So You Think You Can Dance"

And, hey, he'd probably be pretty good, right?

But at least he would get more people to pay attention to him, since "SYTYCD" got better ratings than his press conference about health care last night.

And yes, if you add up the totals from the three networks that were carrying his speech, Obama did actually have more eyeballs on him last night. But thats not the end of the story.

The White House had originally wanted to have Obama's address at 9pm, but only CBS agreed to carry it at that time. So the administration was strong-armed by NBC and ABC into moving the address back an hour. Why? Because neither network was going to cover the President at the expense of their top-rated reality shows (NBC's "America's Got Talent" and ABC's "Wipeout") in the nine o'clock slot.

Congratulations, America. Reality TV is more important than the President. I wonder how Obama feels about populism now?
