Gore Talks About What Might Not Have Been, Compares Obama to Lincoln

DENVER, Colorado -- Former Vice President Al Gore started his speech tonight by talking about how the world would be different had he ended up in the White House in 2000.

"Eight years ago, some said there was not much difference between the nominees of the two major parties and it didn’t really matter who became president," Gore said. "Our nation was enjoying peace and prosperity. Some assumed we would continue both, no matter the outcome. But here we all are in 2008, and I doubt anyone would argue now that election didn’t matter.

"Take it from me," Gore continued," if it had ended differently, we would not be bogged down in Iraq, we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him. We would not be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis; we would be fighting for middle-income families. We would not be showing contempt for the Constitution; we’d be protecting the rights of every American, regardless of race, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation. And we would not be denying the climate crisis; we’d be solving it."

Gore also compared Obama to Abraham Lincoln, saying that "before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln’s experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Ill., and one term in Congress –- during which he showed the courage and wisdom to oppose the invasion of another country, that was popular when it started, but later condemned by history.

He must be getting CRS Syndrome!! What about the 1993 WTC Bombing that happened ?? What about the attack on the USS Cole?? Two OVERT acts of war that went unanswered. Then we have the Bosnia-Herzegovina debacle, in which we are STILL there !!! Then, history shows that Al Qaeda had been planning the Sep 11th attacks for at least two years. All of that bullshit happened ON HIS WATCH!!

True, we had some prosperity, all due to the tech bubble. I watched it burst in Aug/ Sep 2000. Again, BEFORE GWB was elected. Yeah, Al Gore........ you're full of shit!!!
