I did, and I'm sure millions watched also. There are plenty of retirees, stay at home parents, students, people who work from home, and people who have access to television at work. Plus there are clips online at the network websites.

I just watched the President again. He introduced Gates as Rumsfeld's replacement.

I completely agree.
