Obama will give Cabinet Post to Al Gore

[Bill]

Smart move. Gore has built up a lot of prestige points among dems.

WALLINGFORD, Pa. - Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday he would give Al Gore, a Nobel prize winner, a major role in an Obama administration to address the problem of global warming.

At a town-hall meeting, Obama was asked if he would tap the former vice president for his Cabinet to handle global warming.

"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now."

Since leaving the White House, Gore has gone on to become one of the world's leading voices for combating the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. His work earned him a share of the Nobel last year.

Popular among Democrats, Gore is perhaps the single most coveted endorsement up for grabs in the long-running competition between Obama and rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Even if you don't understand pollution you have to admit that Gore was in office during amazing USA prosperity.

I do find it funny that once he won the Nobel Prize that suddenly the Neoconservative media took the unpatriotic stance that the prize was a terrible thing instead of taking pride in a great American winning it.

And we were all younger then...whats the point? I see no correlation.
I do remember his tie breaking vote to tax Medicare ie against old people!! Wonder if anyone
else remembers?

Oh gag and puke. If I have to look at that Orson Wells look a like for 8 years
Ill surely ditch my tv. And Im not joking. Turner was right in some things he said. The problem is too many people
using too much of everything.... and the cyclic nature of the earth and our
folly of using a food source as a fuel source....maybe we need to die out if
thats example of our stupidity.

Guess the camel jockeys will be in a world of hurt when they cant grow anything
in sand and the bread basket of the world is dried up or frozen. Drink your
crude buddy roes!

Those camel jockeys, as in the UAE, are in the process of building the first polution free city. They are also creating tech and other types of business's. They are planning ahead, and guess what, because of what Bush did, and the neo-conservatives, they will be a super power, while we wallow in our own financial ruin, unless we do soemthing different.

Im not against doing something different but resent the politicizing of everything
and needing the government to save us from it! And, having politicians telling
us what to do but not doing it themselves.

If the Mayan calender and various other prophecies are right, it wont matter
after Dec 2l, 2012. Guess we will see.

Unfortunately we need leaders that aren't movie to Dubai and instead want to build a prosperous USA. For some reason we still want leaders with strong ties to The Middle East and want the PNAC to continue running things.

It's nuts.

Absolutely. Do we actually have any strong leaders who don't have ties to the Middle East these days?

OBama wants to make Gore a cabinet member, that would at least limit some of the influence. He will need someone to advise him on Middle East issues. The question would be, where are Gore's loyalties?

History is always a great way to predict the future.

Bush, trashed 3 companies - now look at our economy.

Gore was VP during a huge increase in median income for America. There's a good chance that he would be involved with doing the same thing again.

I'm all for it.
