Al Gore in the running?

Former Veep and global warming aficionado, Al Gore, is riding a wave of success following the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth".  Award after award, a plethora of positive press, and now the Nobel Peace Prize.  It's an impressive resume.. but can he turn it into a ticket to the White House?  Well.. there are more rumblings that Mr. Gore is exploring that possibility.  

Being from California, originally, I grew up in an era of conservation.  Conserving everything from water to electricity was a must in my household, as was recycling... and it remains important to me today... to the point that I drive my husband crazy.   

Whether you believe global warming is truly happening or not, Al Gore's suggestions for preserving our environment are generally sound, and he's made us all more aware of our surroundings.  Mr. Gore has certainly found a platform where people are listening and catching on, wanting to do their part.   But I'm not sure that means, however, that he'd be a good president.  And might his message be muddied if he took that role? 

The jury's still out for me... but I don't think this would be his best move.  Stick to your message, Mr. Gore, the environment needs you... the White House may not.

Please, as a Democrat, and I say that reluctantly, I do not want to see Al Gore doing a remake of the fiasco of his last run. I lost all respect for him when he whined and whined over Florida. Be a man, lose gracefully and be done with it. Please don't run, we have enough idiots representing the Democrats this time around.

Gooberpug, some Wednesday humor for you from me.
A Japanese doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks."

A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks."

The American doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We are about to take a woman with no brains, send her to Washington where she will become President, and then half the country will be out looking for work."

Gooberpug, we'd love it if you voted Republican or Independent. Please. No shame it---George Shrubb can't run again. And Starrman, I love your joke.

GrandmaM, I received it just after I had posted, and thought it was very timely, in more ways than one.

I think people should lead by example. In other words, if you are advocating that everyone conserve, then you should put your money where your mouth is and have a carbon footprint smaller than a muskrat. Otherwise, you're only contributing to global warming with the hot air coming from your mouth.
