It is admirable to try and keep a clean environment. And it sounds good to take money from hard working people and give it to other hard working people.

However, you've got to have a great unshackled economic machine to do so. These two admirable ideas only squanders and strangles the economic machine.

For instance a doctor is making over $250,000. He works extraordinary hours to help out in impovershed areas, sometimes given out free medical service. In the meantime, he's paying around $100,000 for medical malpractice. Now you're going to tax him, the government squanders half and maybe, that's a big maybe, gets 50%. The doctor then cuts out his extra hours and moves away where well to do people can pay him what he deservedly earns. In the meantime the poor guys friendly doctor is no longer there.

You can't take money away and put it somewhere else. Money is generated through work. You guys are clueless. The environment can wait for a couple more decades until these alternative fuels can replace oil. Your idea of taxing oil companies is like killing the goose who lays the golden egg!

You two guys don't have a clue of what is going on. Lee Iaccoca was right, throw the bums out!

I just want to see Obama as our next President. I am a registered Republican but will vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate Obama. I believe he can do alot for America. President Bush brought our country down with a nonsense war which has cost us Billions. America is a strong country which can achieve goals without fighting. So why does our country prefer to fight than to resolve things piecefully? I have no idea. Right now American Bush wants to fight Iran,why? Could not we achieve better results by talking. But we must know how to talk with foreign countries first. I dont believe our President knows how. What a shame.

352 superdelegates were wrong, and now Al Gore is wrong.

JLMEALER, do you understand that while the rest of the world is starting to act on global warming the US still thinks its a "Liberal" conspiracy. Your countries reputation is abysmal and McCain is just too old and senile to do the job. What an earth are you thinking?

I, likewise, am a registered Republican who has had enough of the party's arrogant, my way or the hi-way attitude. I will vote for Change this November. Al Gore won the People's vote in 2000 but W's brother Jeb (Bush, Florida Governor) decided the People's vote doesn't count and now look at McCain - he's considering Charlie (Crist, Florida Governor) for veep. Imagine that.

Sylvia, get over it. Hillary was my candidate too but its time to unite behind Obama so the Dems control the all important White House. Sour grapes promotes another McCain/Bush/Cheney disaster.

Terry,

It might be just me. But I want a politician that will make a judgment and if the facts on the ground change or new information comes to light, is willing to man up and say "yea, that is what I thought then, but now I think this way, and here is why."
I personally have had my fill of people that "stick to their guns" regardless of what train wreck it leads too and regardless of how a dynamic world changes with every new day.

When did it become a virtue to be stubborn or bullheaded? When did being nimble and dynamic become something to scorn?

But like I said, it might just be me.

wonder how much obama paid for this endorsement?

BonVivant,

Well said and my sentiments exactly. The ability to lead has absolutely nothing to do with an ability to be stubborn or bullheaded.

Glad to see Gore finally get on board with an endorsement.

Obama 08!

Whoopee - like this is news worthy? At this point who else was he going to endorse?

What has happened to the Democrat Party?

It has been completely taken over by the "rich elite" liberals in this country.

And Detroit is probably a good example of Decades and Generations of 100% Democrat control.

That''s why only 24% of the innocent children ever graduate from High School.

And it''s exactly the reason why Detroit has the highest crime rate in America.

Self-righteous liberals what ever happens to the 76% of the innocent children in Detroit that don''t graduate from High School?

And is this what you liberal call Social Justice?

It seems like a crime to me.

Where am I wrong?

Endorsed by a loser. A loser that is so sore and pathetic he invents reasons to further tax everything on the planet, taking out his vengence on the citizens and business.

Obama should run from this clown, and fast.

He will always have a little crowd of mindless sheep that will follow him because of their emotional tie to the religion of global warming. Like those people were going to vote for McCain over Obama, LOL.

Al the sky is falling and it's mans fault Gore, Obama probably went back to his hotel and puked. Thinking that's great, now I get the sheep that can't think on their own.

I think Obama, now, by sucking up and hiring Patti Doyle, who did work for Hillary, will be a cold slap in the face for Hillary supporters. I can't believe Obama says one thing, and now, changes his mind on just about every issue. He's like a chameleon, you never know what his stance is. With the hiring of Doyle, whatever support Obama was getting from Hillary supporters will be severed. Obama will sink to whatever it takes to win this election, even to the point of lying and betrayal. The endorsement of Gore is a joke and will only hurt Obama, which is a good thing. Who even cares about Al Gore, who is a liar as well, who has turned his back on the UAW, but decides to endorse this joke in Michigan. And, if Obama is all that GREAT, why is he only ahead by 6 pts of McCain. Sorry, folks, the Dems have done themselves in. This is one Democrat that will be voting Republican this year and I challenge all you Obamabots to rethink your support of Obama and his lies. Hillary supporters, with the hiring of Doyle, it appears that Obama is telling you that he can do anything he wants, can beat Hillary down, then pick up her people, to help run his shoddy campaign. I challenge you to switch your allegiance to John McCain.....a true American patriot that says what he means and means what he says. This joker Obama is bad news....lets unite and put an end to him and his chronies!

Give me a break! I have been a democrat for years, and this will be the first time I will vote Republican. Where is the democratic party, the party of the working class? Obama has turned the democratic party into a joke along with Al Gore---talk about politics of old!!! Obama will do or say anything to get elected; obviously. The democratic party WAS a party that the working class could come together and elect someone who would actually help the middle and working class. I know many here in PA that will not vote for Obama; and will not vot--or will be voting for John McCain. The working class democrats needs to sent a message from the working class of America to the DNC. Who the DNC picked is not who the voters picked. Simple as that.

From a wide array of angles, I can see now Obama is going to harass McCain, as he has a vast advantages in Cash, Charisma, Big Crowds and now the Global Climate Change Man (Al Gore) has stepped in.

This is brilliant, November is coming slowly.

david from texas,

Ur a Republican posing as a Democrat.

Why don't you tell ur own party to vote McCain. He has some serious problem within the Republican party etc Obamacans and evangelicals

The polls are just right. John McCain should be in the lead with such a "division" within the Democratic party and 2 months of an advantage to rally his base.

Obama has a 6 point lead b/c Hillary supporters are starting to rally around him. As time passes Obama's lead will grow.

John McCain will lose big-time this November...

McCain has nothing but old ideas and politics of the past; fell policies of George Bush and other conservatives that are out of the loop on every issue. What has John McCain done since being in the US Senate for 30 years? The voters want won’t to be reminded of Vietnam’s POWs, MIAs, jobs for the communists and all the other fell war policies of the past and present.

McCain’s, Iraqi policy is that the troop build-up is working and everything is fine and dandy. McCain’s gas policy is to drill everywhere and anywhere no matter the environmental impact on the environment. McCain, on jobs renew the tax breaks for rich to create jobs and that will work it way down to the masses.

Just another OLD TIME INSIDER, CLINTON VP and loser politician kissing butt of yet another politician, same except his skin is darker.
The more things change the more they stay the same!
The DNC machine is going to need yet more OIL to keep the Obama shoved down our throats!
NEXT DC politician?? NEXT?? Step up BO needs more to pile on he is barely keeping us from regurgitation!

I wonder, while Al Bore was endorsing Obambi, did anyone look around Detroit, and Michigan, and see the wonderful job that the Democratic party has done in that state? That alone speaks voulumes. Trying to tax their way out of a recession. Unemployment at better than 7 percent. Detroit and it's long running "most dangerous city" stirng of hits. Yeppers, ringing endosrement that all Michiganders should rally around.
