I wonder if Obama will create a new cabinet position for Gore? I’m sure he could find a staff, as you can now get a degree in Global Warming from the University of Mumbai.

FLINT, Mich. – Former Vice President Al Gore will appear in Detroit tonight for his debut campaign appearance with Senator Barack Obama, extending an endorsement and urging all Democrats to rally behind the party’s fall ticket.
“A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama,” Mr. Gore said in an e-mail sent to his supporters. “From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.”

Other than promising everything under the sun, what qualifications and executive experience does Obama have? Now Al Gore throws full support for Obama. Will this be yet another “he wasn’t who I thought he was”?
Obama is nothing new or fresh. He’s from the same mold as any other politician making big promises of doling out money from the public treasury…..oh, and of course confiscating wealth from producers to give to the non-producers. Isn’t there a definition for that form of government? It used to be taught in schools long ago.
I live 1/2 hour from Flint, Michigan. Aside from gang shootings, high crime (4th most dangerous in country, or is it 3rd now), political corruption, failed schools and boarded up businesses, its a great place to live.
Obama comes to town and basically lists off multiple new government program band aids as if that’s going to improve Flint’s status. There’s nothing like buying votes with other people’s money.
People think energy and food prices are high now? There’s gonna be “change” alright. We are screwed.
I also, once called myself a liberal because that meant I supported individual freedom and less goverment in my pocket.
Deadwoods, we are showing our age.
I my vote for Bob Barr
just Cait says: God HEAT America! God HEAT America!
Brilliant…!
I guess he snuck up on us like Hitler did.
I hate to break this to you, but Hitler didn’t sneak up on anyone.
He did it all quite out in the open with the West singing, “LA-LA-LA WE CAN’T HEAR YOU, WINSTON!”
I’m still trying to figure out how Al Gore did it. (Maybe Like mini-Sauron with his missing finger saving up his spit in Dol Guldur since the Y2K elections?)
I also, once called myself a liberal because that meant I supported individual freedom and less goverment in my pocket.
I still call myself that. My kind will eventually defeat the unliberal radicals who hijacked the word “liberal” and reestablish the term.
A vote for Bob Barr is a vote for Obama. A vote for Obama is a vote for Al Gore. He ain’t my first choice, but so far as I’m concerned, it’s raining McCain.
I’ll dodge tornadoes and non-existent terrorists to write in Ron Paul’s name. Also, unless I know better (which I don’t) I will vote against EVERY incumbent. Take my country to hell, will you? You first!
It’s going to snow in Michigan tomorrow! (ya think?). Perhaps this election will end up being about AGW or NOT after all!
I heard the DNC is strapped for cash for the convention party in August. Mayhaps with the ‘new kind of politics’ they can solve their problem by redistribution of wealth. Take some of Obama’s campaign cash and give it to the DNC! Would Obama learn the lesson?
No Barr for me. McCain is the Safety Net and don’t forget that.
Obama looks like a fairly clever chap to me, with all the recent caimpaning he probably hasn’t had the time to sit down and work out the numbers. That fixing the so called climate problem is just not feasible. Especially with the current US economy doing badly, trade deficit, food and oil prices. On the surface he thinks its a goog idea to have the Climate God Gore on his side but if he wants to stay in office he’s going to have many many others things that will take priority.
This Gore/Obama alliance isn’t complex. Obama is the Democrat candidate. Gore must support him or take a chance on years w/o influence.
So Gore endorses.
If Obama wins Gore will get paid one way or another. If Obama loses Gore still can run in 2012.
A blind trust may not be all that “blind”. It really depends upon the integrity of the administrators. But it would stop Gore from being an officer of the funds he is now running. I think he has some radio network ala Air America too.
“A vote for Bob Barr is a vote for Obama. A vote for Obama is a vote for Al Gore. He ain’t my first choice, but so far as I’m concerned, it’s raining McCain.
Love that one. I think I’ll borrow it.
Nothing unusual here.
Gore needs to help Obama or President Obama won’t like Gore. That can make life difficult for up to 8 years.
So Gore helps Obama and as President Obama will reward Gore.
If Obama should lose Gore can run in 2012 against a very old McCain. That is probably Gores only shot at the top job.
Obama is taking a risk that Gore’s endorsement will prove a liability. I don’t see that happening and apparently Obama doesn’t either.
To moderator and readers. Sorry for the double post about Gore.
My network crashed and I believed the first version had not been. After the outage I rephrased the message and submitted.
Then both appeared. Drat..
Evan,
Your right Hitler did not sneak up on us. And I think it will be hard for anyone to argue that Al Gore snuck up on us either if you consider An Inconveinient Truth and the $300 million he wants to spend to educate us about AGW (Al Gore Warming).
The other guy is starting to dance to my music.
Someone’s angling for my vote, inspite of his knot headed position on glb wrming.
I don’t usually do politics, next to it climate is pretty straightforward; but any political leader who has anything to do with Gore has no credibility at all. It is a travesty that Gore and people like Mann still have their nobels and are feted at dingbat web-sites, while people like McIntyre, who has heroically discredited the basis of Mann’s pestilent ‘hockey stick’ with his work on Graybill’s Bristlecones, have little recognition and are still plugging away. After Ababneh’s more extensive 2006 study on the same Bristlecones as Graybill’s produced a completly different result showing the MWP warmer than today, it is amazing that the leading AGW scientists are not digging ditches for a living.
And now there is a new tree study which demolishes the conventional temp and CO2 historical perspective;

If any one in political circles had any decency they would have nothing to do with Gore.
That’s strange; I posted at Jennifer Maharosy’s blog about bristlecones and a new plant study and thought I’d present the details here in the context of Obama’s camaraderie with Gore and I got a repeat message signal. I’ll try again. I don’t usually do politics, next to it climate is pretty straightforward; but any political leader who has anything to do with Gore has no credibility at all.

oops, sorry about that; I’ll take note of the signs next time!
Many of you seem shocked by this turn of events.
The AGW thing has never been about science. It is strictly along politico-religious lines and always has been.
Obama will snuggle up right next to Algore because he is cut from the same piece of cloth. Democrats and a few Republicans are drinking the Kool Aid and asking for more. There is no way this should surprise anyone.
“… I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. ” Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson warned us to beware of the ideals of liberal democrats long before they were in vogue.
This election is rapidly approaching a choice between bad, and down right awful.
I’m calling for a do over, for both parties.

I believe you answered your own question.
Hitler didn’t sneak up on us. Many here in the US applauded and supported him because he was the spearhead of Global Eugenics. Hollywood, Roosevelt, four of the supreme court justices, Roosevelt and the Rockefeller Foundation all admired his forward-thinking work to clean up Earth’s gene pool. After all, Global Eugenics was the overwhelming consensus of scientists.
I don’t think Gore snuck up on us, he had a book in the early 90s “The Earth In Balance” or something like that. Therein he proposed even more exagerated climate shifts than in AIT. I guess he’s more conservative now…
Although I voted for him in 2000, Gore is now an abomination to me. A long time Dem, this whole AGW thing has changed me politically in a way I never would have thought possible, and I now think of myself as an Indie. Voting for McCain would have been easy if he hadn’t idiotically climbed aboard the AGW bandwagon. So, I will most likely end up voting for Obama, but cast my support for the Repub senatorial candidate here in NH, John Sununu who will need all the help he can get.
The slimy Gore has waited to see who the outright winner will be and then begun his manipulative, slimy activity. The problem is that from France Obama looks like a relative amateur to Gore and we know only too well that Gore will be manipulating things from behind if Obama wins and then we know also that the Average American is not going to win any intelligence competition, after all you voted in Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and now a old hack or a young socialist. The rest of world will be trembling, except of course the Arabs and islamists.
