Presidential Address (9.13)...how long?

Anyone know for sure about how long the address will be tonight at 9pm? I want to tape it and then something after so don't want to much overage. Thanks.

I'd research the answer for you, but you indicated you were taping his address (i.e. you care what he has to say).

Whether you like the president or not (and apparently, only about 3 people in this forum like him), shouldn't we all care what he has to say?

Not enough to spend the time watching/recording the entire speech. That's what CNN.com is for.

Well, at least CNN.com will give you an unbiased review...

Let's be grateful that he's not doing this next week or the week after... during most season premieres.

*yawn* I'm sure it's nothing important - if it was we'd already know about it.

And yes, very glad it's happening during reruns.

i'm actually just taping it for my Gov't & Eco class, but thanks for the effort!

on the tv guide listings online most stations only list about 20mins...can this be accurate?

I won't be watching this, but I'll hear what Rush has to say tomorrow. He'll tell me what to think! Ditto ditto ditto ditto...

I like him. I did hear the address was supposed to be shorter than usual (but I don't know for sure). To go with the radio reference, I'll hear what Dennis Miller has to say if I miss it.

Oh and Go Rudy!

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

I would say about 62 charachters long...the same length as if it were anyother day.
