I don’t have a point to make or an ax to grind here, it is just a curious observation.

When comparing Obama’s inauguration with that of past presidents it seemed an easy bet that his would be the most watched, with all of its historic ramifications.  I fully expected it to trounce any televised event in history.

But it came in number two to Ronald Reagan’s in 1980.

Now many speculate that people watching via the net may have diminished the crowds, and that is a good point indeed.  If that was accurately factored in, Obama would likely come out ahead.

But then that is also a curious trend as it shows the diminish importance of television in our daily news.

Just thinking aloud…
