Al Gore makes a blunt public attack on the Obama administration for its failure to enforce stricter pollution standards

Posted on Wednesday 7 September 2011 20.54 BST

If Barack Obama didn't have enough on his plate – with the sagging economy, dismal employment figures and falling approval ratings – on Wednesday he also endured an unusual and highly public rebuke from Al Gore over environmental policy.

The former US vice president turned environmental campaigner published a blog on his official website, entitled "Confronting disappointment," that castigated Obama personally for pulling the Environmental Protection Agency off the trail of enforcing tougher emissions standards.

Gore's most stinging rebuke in the brief post came when he said: "President Obama appears to have bowed to pressure from polluters who did not want to bear the cost of implementing new restrictions on their harmful pollution," saying the net result will be lung disease and asthma:

1. Al Gore is a hater and not a real democrat

Doesn't he realize how hard it is for president Obama?

He's not a dictator, he can't pass these things on his own!

Well, OK, in this case he could have, but he's playing some 3-D mind chess with these people, You'll see!

2. Al is Karl Rove's and Jane Hamsher's love child and has a crush on Sarah Palin.
