Well Hell, I reckon this election is over........After all...

Gore endorses Obama

AP News, June 16, 2008

Al Gore made his debut in the 2008 presidential campaign Monday night, encouraging voters to back Barack Obama because "take it from me, elections matter."
The former vice president's speech at the Joe Louis Arena was part endorsement and part blistering attack on the man who denied him the White House eight years ago.

He said Republican candidate John McCain deserves respect for all he has done for this country and for his willingness to debate his party on climate change and other critical issues. But he said McCain's "age and experience" aren't the same as Obama's judgment, noting the Democrat's early opposition to the Iraq war.

He accused Bush of myriad missteps, including a botched response to Hurricane Katrina, economic problems, foreign policy mistakes and allowing lead-tainted toys and poisoned pet food in from China.

(surprised he din't blame him for the Indonesian tsunami, Patriot loss of the Super Bowl, and the ethnic genocide in Darfur!)

"Even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter," he said. "This election matters more than ever because America needs change more than ever."

The Republican Party pointed out that Gore's 2000 running mate, Sen. Joe Lieberman, has since left the Democratic Party and become an independent and is backing McCain.

In response to Gore's harsh critique of Bush, GOP spokesman Alex Conant said, "This election isn't about changing the past, it's about changing the future. It's telling that half of the 2000 Democratic ticket endorsed John McCain early in the campaign, while the other half waited until Barack Obama had been the presumptive nominee for weeks." Obama clinched the nomination on June 3.

In his usual strong fashion, Al Gorebot jumps aboard after the ship is at sea! I'll bet he put his money on "Big Brown" to 'Show' (and only two dollars at that) and has been whining ever since that the horse just jogged out and pharted---added to global warming---- and ended up last in the Belmont Stakes! Lord Luv a Duck!! Probably got back to his SUV parade (3), on his private jet to his eco-enemy mansion in Tennessee and sulked ever since!
