Gore Endorses While Still Living In The Past
It’s official – former Vice-President Al Gore has put his support behind Democrat Barack Obama for President. At a Joe Louis Arena rally in Detroit, Gore told the crowd he feels their determination to win back the White House. But, the whole situation begs the question – Will this endorsement really help Senator Obama? After all, he’s just received an endorsement from a man who’s still living in the past and crying about a hanging chad. During the rally Gore once again proved he’s living in the past by saying, “In looking back over the last eight years, I can tell you that we have already learned one important fact since the year 2000. Take it from me, elections matter.”
Okay, so he’s still not over it. Al Gore, the man who spins more yarns than my grandmother used to spin with her knitting needles, still has not moved beyond the fact that he lost an election. It makes me wonder if he may become more of a weight which will pull the Obama machine down, or will the endorsement really help. Of course in the overall scheme of things, endorsements usually don’t mean a whole lot anyway.
But, making matters even more interesting were Senator Obama’s comments after receiving the endorsement. The Presidential hopeful said, “When I am President, I will be counting on Al Gore to help me lead the fight for a clean energy future here in America and around the globe.” Great, just what we need. Another politician chasing after pie in the sky fantasy concepts with no scientific proof to back up his wild fantasies. But then again, lets not forget Senator Obama also said in the United States, the land of the free, we should all roll our thermostats back, get rid of our air conditioners in the summer, and stop driving cars because people in other nations don’t like our prosperity.
Senator Obama, maybe you should remember you’re running for the position of President of the United States, not the world. If you want to work in the world market, maybe you should look at the U.N. instead of the White House.
Just my two cents,
