Debate, Shmbate!

Tonight (April 26, 2007) in the great city of Orangeburg, South Carolina eight Democratic presidential candidates will gather at South Carolina State University to debate each other. Contrary to various rumors, I will not be attending this debate either in-person, via video conference or via telephone. I will in the great state of New York having my own debate with the American people.

South Carolina is a wonderful state that I have visited on many occasions and look forward to visiting in the future. I will not be at this debate, not just because I was not invited, but because I am not interested in participating in this fabricated, dog and pony sound bite show. My focus is on talking directly to the American people, not hanging out and schmoozing with other candidates.

Here’s what some of these “Presidential Candidates” are saying about the debate:

"I've just got to make sure I don't trip walking on the stage," Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.

"It takes me 60 seconds to clear my throat," Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

America, Gregg Rosenberg does not often trip when he walks and he doesn’t take 60 seconds to clear his throat. I ask you this, what do YOU think people are going to do tonight watch the debate or debate what to watch (“Are You Smarter Than a 5^th Grader?” or Survivor: Fiji” or “NBA Playoffs: Detroit at Orlando” or “NHL Playoffs: San Jose at Detroit”)?

For those interested I will be available to debate and discuss any and all issues (Iraq, healthcare, the economy, what television show to watch tonight, etc.) all night long, feel free to contact me at greggforamerica.blogspot.com.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish a happy 74^th birthday day to Carol Burnett. I’d like to express my support to the people of Chernobyl on the 21^st anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear power plant accident. Congratulations and happy 42^nd independence day to the people of Tanzania. Finally, I would like to extend a special thank you to the federal troops who tracked down John Wilkes Booth on this day 142 years ago.
