1. The ratings will be high as many of us will want to see the President. Thus, giving Chuckie a false

sense of popularity that will crumble in the following weeks. I still may not tune in but will read about it later on DU...

2. No doubt to talk about how to improve the affordable care act

expand union participation, equal pay, bank regulations, reforming the NSA, securing women's rights... who cares if he's on if all they talk about is the conservative agenda for the US. War, fear, shock and awe. No thanks.

3. That's just terrible! This only encourages them.... :-P

4. I expect plenty of right wing

talking points posed as questions regarding favorability ratings, leadership, and optics. All the inside the beltway horse race stuff that only matters to the elite DC media cocktail party crowd.
