Prince and Barack make history.....

I read somewhere that over 95 million people watched Prince's "Halftime Superbowl Performance" making it historical in Superbowl Performances. I was told by friends that over 38 million people watched Barack make history as he made his acceptance speech at the Invesco stadium.Is this near accurate info. I'm thinking they have got to be the only two African American men that I can think of going back to the year 2000 that has captured such an audience. I haven't forgot about the Million Man March, but I don't think it got kind of t.v audience. Help me somebody? Pls. don't misunderstand me anyone, I am by no means comparing these two men, I'm mearly looking at size of audience and how they can draw masses of people far and near in the span of 2000 to present. Show me some love....don't be critical of my topic.

Yes it is amazing how some people can reach numbers of people with something to say...although never underestimate the one person that says something worthy to one other. cool
