You have won a very unusual prize, Would you accept? What would you do?
The prize: the chance to appear simultaneously on every television channel in the country for 60 seconds during prime time viewing.
Would you accept? If so, what would you say to the country?

For me, I would accept and point out a few lies of the liars and the mess that those lies created. (Bush and Cheney )I would plead to give Obama a chance like you would do for anyone who starts a job. enuf. Got any ideas?

6. Sure. I wouldn't say anything. I'd just stare unblinkingly at the camera.
And that's it.
