I would not have believed this if I wasn’t able to see it myself. This bloviation even tops Gore’s “Earth’s interior is millions of degrees” comment on live TV. Watch this video segment from Gore’s Current TV:
So how does he explain Romney’s performance? High altitude training?
And to think this man almost became president and is the most globally recognized spokesman for global warming.
h/t to Chuck Johnson
Note to David Axelrod (O’s main event scheduler, political ‘handler’ and ‘fixer’ as well as campaign apologist) or Valerie Jarrett (O’s close-by ideological mentor and protected by her own special secret service detail): Have a hyperbaric chamber (HBOT)booked and standing by next time …
Perhaps even have one ‘ready to go’ after receiving that 3 AM phone call next time too.
.
When you consider that Romney handed Obama a beauty of a line regarding the status of the economy when Obama took office, and Obama did not take advantage of it, perhaps he doesn’t really want a second term. He could lose and hand the country back to the Republican Party in nearly the same shape it was in when he was elected. Not as much involvement in Iraq – at least officially, bin Laden no longer on the wanted list, a few more jobs, but otherwise very much the same. There are signs of of improvement though. Here in California I’m seeing ads for classes in “flipping houses” in the real estate market. They pretty much disappeared after 2008.
Can’t lose what you never had.
I’m beginning to think that the Dem veeps are chosen to make people think twice before impeaching the president. First Gore and now Biden.
Al Gore was one heartbeat away from the presidency, so is Joe Biden. Which one is a scarier thought?
Another excuse. Tired of lame ass excuses. No more excuses. No more whining. Time to get on with it.
Add this to the litany of things caused by global warming.

“Maybe you should donate your president to one of the ‘low countries’. Is the Netherlands low enough?”
Please don’t, we already have enough problems with local european socialism over here.
And we would like to keep our AAA-rating…
Romney is welcome though!
I think we’ve found the atmospheric hot spot.
You can’t shift that smell of desperation in the morning…

Al Gore has his head in the clouds.

Wrong general direction.
Whew! I thought it was Global Warming.
The hypothesis about altitude might be more plausible if
(a) one could exclude other factors e.g Romney was just better prepared and put up a better performance. Time spent in Denver would suggest he Romney was better prepared.
(b) Altitude has been shown to have significant impacts of performance at 5,000 feet for healthy middle-aged men. I thought it was much higher that the impacts were significant.
(b) There were aspects of Obama’s performance that identified the impacts of altitude sickness. Maybe a dizziness, or seeming unusually out of breath.
Like with much of global warming hypotheses, not enough thought has gone taking into account more plausible hypotheses, or looking at magnitude or the uniqueness of confirming signals.
I’d rather have a third rate fireman than an arsonist any day.

I have always thought it a matter of great mirth that the Sea Level Research Group is based at the University of Colorado in Boulder. It is hard to imagine a site further from the sea nor higher up. For me, it beautifully symbolises the complete disconnect of the ‘scientists’ from their subject of study.
Democrats nearly gerrymandered him in as President.
Yeah. Think about him… getting a massage….with that crazy brain…. and a finger on the big red button.
The USA dodged a bullet when he lost the election. There is a God.

tonyb,
Ahh shucks tonyb, us bumbling Yanks sure are woefully sorry about not having presidential candidates that are living up to your expectations what world leaders should be. : )
Now, if you will excuse me, I must get back to bumbling on in my efforts at aiding & abetting the firing of Obama.

All his life Obama has had everything handed to him. He has never had to work for anything. He was a screw-off in school. He rarely voted for or against anything in the Senate; he voted “Present”most often — when he was actually present.
Obama has spent the past four years golfing, taking Air Force One on constant vacations as the economy continued to tank. He avoids most daily intelligence briefings as the mideast boils. His main political tactic is to endlessly demonize and blame every group and person that doesn’t fawn over him.
For 0bama’s whole political existence he has been surrounded by sycophants — servile flatterers — including the entire mainstream media, and those that his policies kept unemployed, and that he has bought off with trinkets like cell phones and EBT cards. For someone susceptible to flattery that is a dangerous brew, because it is easy to believe the flatterers. Obama is the Messiah; The Won.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Obama came across as incompetent, a defeated wretch facing someone who has all the good qualities that Obama lacks. Even some in the MSM are now wondering: What were we thinking?!

Al Gore, a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
—
From the looks of his waistline, he needs to stay away from those Happy Meals.
Debate? That was supposed to be a debate?
Obama has been campaigning a lot in Colorado recently. I believe he was there last week. He has spent quite a bit of time in 5,000 feet or higher altitude recently. Heck, Las Vegas is at 2,000 feet.
We have a control test available. When did Obama arrive in 2008 when he gave his acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium? Was he there for all four days, or was he campaigning?
Al Gore versus the much funnier Bush/calendars filled with daily “Bushism’s”. I guess the comedy was a fair trade, at least until the 2008 meltdown from all that big banking de-reg resulting from right wing philosophy’s followed by those huge punishment-free, multi-trillion dollar bailouts to prevent a depression. Didn’t/don’t think much of Gore, but looked more like a tie to me. Maybe a similar kind of “doesn’t matter,still screwed” tie next election. Sarc off.
I live in Santa Fe @ur momisugly 7,000 feet above sea level. In the summer tourist season we would gt a number of altitude sickness cases. You can administer O2 and there even drugs, but the easiest method was to send them down to Albuquerque (which is actully higher than Denver), Like magic their symptoms disappeared in short order.

Bearing in mind the US is the leader of the Western World from this side of the pond both Presidential candidates appear to be of a very poor calibre.

tonyb’s vista is the bottom side of the pond.. so… what if anything can see actually see?
I don’t know why Denver is promoted to make individuals think that 5000 ft is high altitude… try the 7000 ft of Flagstaff, AZ. Just traveling from Phoenix to Flagstaff in a vehicle is enough to give you a headache.
