My endorsement
June 16, 2008 : 2:51 PM


A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.

Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.

I've never asked members of AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign before, but this moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.

That's why I am asking you to join me today in showing your support for Barack Obama by making a contribution to his campaign today:

Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.

With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.

If you've already contributed to Barack Obama's campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution. If you haven't, please join the movement right now:

On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.

We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president and it begins by making a contribution to his campaign today.

AlBore's endorsement signal's the beginning of the end!  The death bells are tolling and I can hear the death rattle of the Obama campaign!

LOL, great news! Maybe he should be put up for VP by Barack Hussein Obama, but I like the color combo of black and green. Together, they can whine on end about global warming!

Gore must be trying to throw the race to McCain.  The wacko deep left thinks Al Gore is some sort of revered statemen.  Normal people think Al Gore is a punchline.

What courage he has, he waited until the dem. nominee was already chosen.

Because then there may be as many as 2 people there to hear him say it.

[RightCoast]

That would almost mean something if Albore hadn't waited until the fight was over to announce his announcement.

What's wrong you spineless dweeb, not going to bet unless there is only one horse in the race?

The only thing that separates useless Albore from useless John Asshat Kerry is useless Albore is dangerous in his greed where John Asshat Kerry is just useless.

Early reaction to Al Gore's Obama endorsement: Yawn

Some early overnight reaction to the belated endorsement of Barack Obama by Al Gore. And it might disappoint the former vice president and loser in the 2000 White House race.

Exactly what Gore was waiting for in the past two weeks since Obama sewed up his party's nomination is unclear. Maybe he just wanted to go to Michigan where his prize-winning environmental pitch is so very less welcome than other places that don't make so many large cars.

The belated endorsement of Barack Obama by former vice president Al Gore seems to have underwhelmed a number of early writers

Or maybe he was waiting until his endorsement meant absolutely nothing.

Anyway, as The Ticket reported, Gore said all the right things in his endorsement speech, except he noticeably left out the last Democratic president, the one who chose to elevate Gore from has-been senator to his running mate and has been the only Democrat elected president twice since World War II, which is like the Middle Ages for today's voters.

But within minutes online reaction was underwhelming. Joe Gandelman, editor-in-chief over at The Moderate Voice, who is usually, well, very moderate, posted an item titled "Obama gets 'the' Endorsement: The Lousy Timing of Al Gore."

He had this to say:

"Perhaps one day someone will write a chapter in a new book about Al Gore titled 'Profiles in Uncourage.'...But it came so late in the game that the person who'll be most impressed with it will be Tipper Gore."

After that the item went downhill. Gandelman said the endorsement so long-sought by Obama and Hillary Clinton was by now such an anti-climax that it resembled the ponderings about whether Ralph Nader would run yet again.

Ouch, how'd you like to be compared to the 21st century's Harold Stassen?

"Not exactly "Man bites dog" news. Who is Gore going to endorse? John McCain?" asked John Mariner in The Ticket's comments section.

Sam Patel added: "It's a sad day to see one of the Clinton's most loyal supporters essentially dis-own them! Like Bill Richardson, Al Gore was a complete nobody had it not been for Bill Clinton's risky generosity. I bet he now regrets some of those appointments."

Up at the San Francisco Chronicle's politics blog, Joe Garofoli wrote: "We know this will never happen, but hopefully Al will tell us tonight why he didn't endorse somebody when it WOULD HAVE MEANT SOMETHING. Like in February.

"Then again, think of it from his perspective. In his forseable role as Captain Planet, he's going to need to work with whomever would be president, so why burn a bridge with a nomination. But isn't Al big enough now (is that a Nobel in your pocket?) that he doesn't have to worry about such petty political matters."

Guess not.

[Wretched Excess]

whatsamatta with these people?  they did the endorsement in michigan?  do they really think that Captain Planet is friend of the automobile industry?

this is the guy that called the internal combustion engine "the single biggest threat to our civilization" (perhaps it was "single biggest threat to mankind";  the precise quote escapes me at the moment, but you get the idea) in his nutjob masterpiece, Earth in the Balance.

you have to wonder who is calling these shots for the obama campaign.

so what's their malfunction?  are any of them older than 25? or run (and preferably won) a national election?  jeez.  in michigan, being endorsed by al gore is very likely not a net positive.

one sometimes make one's point via sarcasm and exaggeration. 

but my point was that this could easily be used against obama in the general.
