Obama and Al Gore

now we're talking. an unstoppable team. we would seriously get started on solving our economic and environmental problems. for obama to actually come out and say that he would hire gore means that something definitely is happening behind the scenes. i hope that al gore would be interested in a vice president position so we could get rid of the idea of saddling obama with clinton.

ap: Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday he would give Al Gore, a Nobel prize winner, a major role in an Obama administration to address the problem of global warming.

At a town-hall meeting, Obama was asked if he would tap the former vice president for his Cabinet to handle global warming.

"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now."
