Where in the new Dem administration would you place AL GORE if he were willing?

[musicblind]

Okay, lets say we get our dream ticket: Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton.

Now let's say that John Edwards is put in as AG or Secretary of Labor.


There is one more person who could make this administration PERFECT! The most respected democrat in the world ... Al Gore!

So, do you think Al Gore would be willing to take a post in an Obama or Clinton administration. Especially a post working close with environmental issues? If he would take a post in an Obama or Clinton administration... what post do you think that would or should be????

[billbuckhead]

1. Al Gore needs to keep doing what he's doing or just say he wants to be president

[marlakay]

6. AMEN!!

[DJ13]

2. Head of the EPA nm

[my2sense]

3. Cosign n/t

[cobalt1999]

18. Perfect role.

[Unsane]

An executive cabinet position is a step down for Al at this stage.

[Windy]

4. Energy secretary... or new cabinet post specifically addressing climate change n/t

[gateley]

5. If it were my daddy's store, I'd create whatever position he wanted and give him

as much autonomy as possible. None of this EPA crap. A REAL Environmental administration.

[Aviation Pro]

7. A new cabinet position....

...Secretary of New Technologies and Innovations. Oversees initiatives in new sciences and research.

[NYCGirl]

8. He's said he is absolutely not interested in a cabinet position.

With Larry King 5/22/07

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0705/22/lkl.01.html

Mr. Gore, given the foreign policy expertise that you have exhibited on Mr. King's show tonight and the expertise that you gave to the administration of President Bill Clinton, would you consider the secretary of state position in a Democratic presidential administration?

GORE: Thank you for your kind words, but, no.

KING: No cabinet position?

GORE: No.

[frogcycle]

9. don't think he would

certainly not any cabinet post

might be associated with the admin as some sort of special ambassador on a part-time basis, like some of the former pres's have done

[Fovea]

10. UN Ambassador.

That's where the action is liable to be.

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. It's certainly where we most need to fix things.

[musicblind]

11. I agree with the poster who said

a new position DIRECTLY CREATED to deal with Climate Change. I like that. Perfect for Gore to create action from within the government. Gore is one of the smartest men alive, he CAN save this planet if we allow him the power to do so!

[Bread and Circus]

12. King of the fucking universe..

god knows, it the universe would run better w/ him in charge.

[lapfog_1]

13. BTW, that's NOT my dream ticket.

There isn't a position for Al Gore that matches his stature.

Sec of State? No.

some other cabinet post? Doubt it.

Al may well be the next Secretary General of the UN. But serving in an Obama administration? I doubt it. He's already BTDT as far as VP.

[ZinZen]

14. Al has repeatedly stated that

he is not interested in a cabinet position. End of story.

[lumberjack_jeff]

16. Don't harsh our buzz. n/t

[JI7]

17. would appoint him to some special new position

that deals with the environment with governments from other nations. almost like sec of state but deals specifically with environmental issues.

[Nailzberg]

19. No cabinet post. Create a President's Special Commission on Global Protection and give Al the keys

It would be almost an ambassador type post, where he would work with world leaders, business leaders, and environmental leaders. cCief envoy for to the White House in environmental concerns as relating to trade policy, energy policy, and of course any environmental treaties.

[Auntie Bush]

20. He wants no part of it!

Why would he want to even be back in the political atmosphere. All he'd have to do is take a look at DU...and he'd rather jump off a cliff.

[musicblind]

21. Well

you are probably right. But I can DREAM, and it would be a great chance for him to gain even more influence to put his ideas into action.
