Al Gore's Speech

[scottymortensen]

I was watching c-span last night at about midnight and caught former Vice-President Gore's speech. I was tired but as I watched I began standing and applauding alone in my den again and again until about 1 am. I was astounded by how powerful his speech was. The man who should be President, SHOULD BE PRESIDENT! In my opinion, this speech was one of the most prolific speeches in American history. Al Gore wasn't even on my radar as an 08 Presidential candidate, but I believe he should be our candidate in 08. The force, clarity, and articulation he demonstrated to me was head and shoulders above any speech I can remember in recent years. If you didn't see it, go to c-span and watch it.

1. Hi, S.

Yes, I saw it, and shared your reaction.
I also share your enthusiasm for Gore's return to politics.
The Al Gore I saw yesterday SHOULD lead our country from the darkness.
I would folow him to the gates of Hell if need be.

2. I agree, Scotty. It was a great speech

I loved the part where he asked: given Bush's interpretation of his own powers "What couldn't he do?"

3. Hmmm.... Did faux news drag out the pictures

of the sweaty armpits again? It is the only clip they seem to have of Al Gore.
