It was good to see Al Gore walk out with Obama and let's hope Gore gets appointed the Green Guru in Obama's administration. I'd like to see Hillary as the Healthcare Guru. We would surely be on our way.
Gore first said we need to respect John McCain. But his policies are wrong. Next, he pointed out how the Republicans attacked JFK for being "young" and "inexperienced."
Gore focused on Obama's relative youth as an asset, referring to Obama as "young leader," who is leading a movement of change.
"Take it from me elections matter," he said, highlighting the ways in which Bush's policies have affected many people in a negative way.
If you live in New Orleans, if you or a family member is a soldier, if you lost your job, if you bought tainted pet food from China... elections matter, he said.
Gore said he argued against the Iraq invasion and remembered that Obama, too, spoke out strongly against it.
Obama thanked Gore for working on making the planet better. He thanked Tipper, Gore's wife. He lavished praise on Gore for his accomplishments and foresight to recognize our dependence on foreign oil.
It's thanks to Gore, that environmentalism isn't just for do-gooders anymore.
"When I am president I will be counting on Al Gore," to lead the fight for clean energy, he said.
Obama said he and Gore share the view that change happens from the grass roots.
Anyone notice how Obama weaves his faith into his rallies and speeches without seeming slimy or manipulative. George Bush wielded his faith like a weapon and then carelessly used it to make judgements and important decisions. The republicans hijacked faith last election.

Al Gore Endorses Obama Tonight Live Stream
at tonight's rally!
email from al gore:
Dear Friend,
A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.
That's why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.
With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.
If you've already contributed to this campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution right now. If you haven't, please take the next step and own a piece of this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.
We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president, and it begins by making a contribution to this campaign today.
Thank you for joining me,
Al Gore
