Words in Obama's speech to Congress: 5,931
Words in the one sentence Rep. Rehberg could get behind: 22
Percentage of Obama's speech Rep. Rehberg got behind: 0.37%
Americans' approval of the speech: 80%
To put this into context, the last time Bush broke 80% was January of 2002. Only one American soldier had been killed "smoking evildoers" out of their caves in Afghanistan; a position so un-controversial comedian David Cross points out "Nader would have bombed Afghanistan."
