Obama Asked about Obama-Gore ’08 Ticket

LOL!!! Now thats a losing ticket for sure. Gore is a Joke. I’m sure Osama would like gore on his ticket so they could raise taxes off of Gores warming fantasy.

There will be no Obama administration so who cares.

Gore’s “warming fantasy”? You, my friend are the one living a fantasy!

Gore has a following on the far left, but he would doom and already doomed campaign. Gore’s pathetic attempts to brand global warming as undoubtedly man made with the oh so convincing ‘consensus’ is sad and will blow up in his face. Consensus means nothing in the world of science and engineering and there are just as many scientists who disagree with Mr. Gloom and doom as those who have come to a ‘consensus’.
As far as the Swift Boat thing? OH please, whine me a river. The dems cannot stand to have their own tactics used against them and cry foul while doing the exact same thing. Funny, you’d think if the Swift Boaters were lying the empty suited Kerry would have sued for liable and slander… so apparently, there’s a hint of truth to what they say. Odd that the often promised and never delivered records of Kerry never were produced, huh?

A Obama/Gore ticket would be the same as a Junk Science/GW ticket!…. both have no experience with the truth and no credibility with realiity!

Then the conservative prayed on his kness “Oh PLEASE YES! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Obama and Gore in ’08!”

Are all these comments from the Bush kool aid drinkers? I guess so.

Warming IS a fantasy if you assert HUMANS are causing it.

“having won the Nobel peach prize ….”; yes, I’d say!

Waleeg…you’re really Bob Dylan..right?

Gore getting a Nobel prize for narrating a dubious film is so pathetic as to be beyond belief. What a disgrace.

Reply to “Just the facts”:
About your article link as “proof” to the “warming fantasy” comments….
You mean to tell me you had to find an article dating back to last June and with data only covering 400 years (which is not geological time scale) as your “proof”?? Me thinks you need to study Earth Science 101 again. :)

Obama has to come clean on how he got 1.6 million for his mansion and has to tell us his deals with the Iranian businessman slumlord in Chicago.
Also he must tell us if he’s a muslim or not.
Sharia Law says that the son of a muslim is a muslim for life.

Obama would be best president to follow Bush for this country.

by the way for “BIG AL” —–
I’M MOTHER TERESA !!!!!!!

LOL – I can’t believe all the ranting back and forth from Democrats and Republicans about who will be our next president. It appears to me that the more mud you sling in the opposite direction, the more insecure your are about your own beliefs and choices. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone would just make the best choice for them without trying to make their choice the “right” one by putting others down?
Remember that your words define your own character and not anyone elses.
Peace

“Experience and youth?” ahahaha
It’s more like “wacko and pure nutcase!”

“A woman wanted to know how Obama would avoid getting swift boated and being ‘turned by the Republicans into a minstrel show.’”
Wow….amazing. Already these die hard leftists are calling Republican attacks on Obama “racist”. Amazing.

As a Republican, I may very well vote for Joe Biden if he is the Democratic nominee

I have never voted for a Democrat since G. McGovern but,I am seriously considering voting for Obama. Now I hear this. Gore strikes me as a condescending snob and a crock. He belongs in Hollywood or Europe, anywhere outside the Government of the United States. Please, Barack, I hope you don’t mean that. If you are for a new direction, Gore should be retired with all the Bushes and Clintons.

Thank GOD for the Swift boat vets, many *highly* decorated, men of honor speaking the FACTS about John Kerry.
Spared us the election of that pompous condescending anti-military baffoon. Hopefully he will lose his senate seat as well. He deserves to lose it.
Obama Hussien???
No need for anyone to get the facts out on the guy. he provides them himself quite well, He speaks like the inexperienced neo-liberal he is. Obama fans? Fuggedaboutit. Your dreaming.
Hillary has it in the bag.
Advice?
Get used to the initials FDT in reference to the Presidency.

DEMOCRATS: please wake up and smell the coffee> Thankfully the DREAM bill was defeated(amnesty). Also dont you all realize that ALL your candidates just want to tax and spend and subsidize everyone at successful peoples expense? Wake Up!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP MINDLESSLY FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER WITH AN ARROGANT PRETENSIOUS TONE. WE ARE ALL PEOPLE, WE NEED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT ENOUGH YOU WILL REALIZE WE ARE ALL NOT SO DIFFERENT THAN YOU BELIEVE.

algore is nothing more than an overinflated toady. He is a JOKE in his home town AND state. He’s a little rich kid that, if it weren’t for daddy’s money, would be the assistant manager at a discount matress roadside stand. History will show him to be an alarmist left-fringe lunatic, and a pouty loser. As for obama…as long as he’s making the hildabeast cringe, I’m all for it.

Obama, Obama, Who’s Obama??

Why would Al Gore even WANT to be Vice President again?

in the article, Obama does NOT say Gore will be his running mate. If fact, he insinuates that is not the case, but some other postion.
Can you Repubs read and comprehend the words, or do you just run everything through your “Republican translator” and hear what you want to?

Obama has zero chance. Most of the bigots in this country are on the left. While Colin Powell could have won Obama would be slaughtered. As for Gore, he is both less than honest and less than sane. Even if his nonsense about global warming is true (which it isnt) does anyone on earth think that Russia and China would honor any treaty? It is revealing that the global warming crowd is against nukes
Hillary has it because of money and the MEDIA. Dan Rather attempted to plant a false story about Bush but what will be done to whoever gets the Repub nomination will be nothing compared to what the did to Bush. If they could get away with blaming Katrina on him they can get away with anything.
Harry Reid said the Cali fires were caused by global warming and Boxer said that if troops werent in Iraq the fires would be controlled. By the way can anyone imagine if Rudy had someone like Hsu associated with his donations. It would be headlines and lead off the news for two weeks.
Hillary is also more left wing than Gore or even Obama. She will destroy the economy with her taxes but the media will blame it on Bush.
Lee Tabin

That poor Obama guy doesn’t get out much does he?

Is Obama still running?
Other than the Hollywood butt kissers who even knows what Obama stands for.
Best he could do is rub Hillerys shoulders and hope she throws him a bone as a VP nomination.

A Obama/Gore ticket? Bring it on! That would be great news to the GOP! What a time we’d have with that mistake!

Biden ….the biggest liar of them all
Terry S

Obama thinks the Oscar is more prestigious than the Vice Presidency?
Now I’m getting it.

Why doesn’t Obama put his hand over his heart when he says the pledge of allegiance?
I can’t find too many redeeming qualities in anyone’s reporting when I read the Nobel PEACH prize!!!
Better go back to the drawing board if you want us to pay attention to anything you are writing.
Joe Biden is spiteful…someone look up the news tape when he laughed at Ashcroft saying ‘haha my son is in JAG’ and ‘your son is in Iraq’… Despicable person.
America, we deserve so much better than this and certainly now we need it.

Yet another reason NOT to vote for Obama. As if we needed more.

I love how the Dems are always the first to sink down to name calling and attacking their oponents, rather than simply learn to make their points and disagree. These bullying ways won’t win over many.

Why is everyone afraid of Gore?
Is it because he won the most votes in 2000 and you guys are scared he will win again?
Go ahead and call everyone you disagree more names. It just makes you look stupid and Mr. Gore a hero.

Why was John Kerry “swift boated” one asks……get real, the dems NEVER rely on facts, just emotion…..Hey, Rangle wants a tax “surcharge” on the “rich” AND allow the Bush tax cuts to expire….ummmmm, sounds great! The flaw once again, don’t rely on facts, only emotion. Will cost jobs and revenue. As for Gore and his Noble prize, why did Gorbachev get one but Reagan didn’t? And Jimmy Carter? Please……a total joke that goes to show once again the Losers are Winners.

The Clintons control the Dem party entirely. Howard Dean was derailed by the Clinton press machine over a stupid yodel. Kerry was unelectable, which is the way the Clinton’s wanted it, and why he received the Dem nomination. Clinton’s wanted Bush to win. If Kerry won, his VP would run 8 years later, and that was Hillary’s election. So, here we are. Biden gets no press at Hillary’s bequest, and Obama has too many questionable beliefs to possibly win.
As for Gore’s infomercial… We have data showing the Earth and Mars have been getting hotter, by the same percentages, over the last 50 years. We also know that during solar hot-spot and flare activities, which last hundreds of years, the earth traditionally gets hotter. Such hot-spots are happening now, and have been for 50 years. The fact that both Earth an Mars are tracking as getting hotter by percentage shows that it is a natural event, and not man made. Those of you who believe in Gore’s theories should see what he wants you to do about it, what it will cost you, and where that money goes. Get a marker and write “Follow me to Al’s wallet” on your cash. He’ll get a kick out of it.

I was always dubious that the average IQ was 100. Judging by the number of responses I see on these politically charged blogs I am now convinced that I know in which political party the sub 100s reside.
fghk, please let the rest of us know how, on the first post on this blog calling Gore a joke, does not fall into the realm of “name calling” which you said (which the 100+ people know is false incidentally – - – nice O’Reilly Limbaugh-esque try though,) the “Dems are always the first to sink down to . . .?” Appears that the first incident of name calling came from a Republican to me but then I humbly must advise I DO fall into the 100+ category.
You have stated a very obvious lie. As one who actually HAS a degree in climatology (as opposed to meteorology who the whiners and haters like Hannity always cite,) I can tell you that Sponkos is incorrect calling global warming a fantasy.
I will say that we are not certain of the extent of Man’s influence, whether it is akin to throwing a cup of gas on a lit barbecue, or whether it is akin to throwing it onto a forest fire, or somewhere in between (probably), but only an ignorant person who believes what they want from the ignorant people they want to listen to, without their own study, will make comments like Sponkos.
“You are only half as smart if you do not KNOW both sides of the issue.” Try to learn both sides. Gore is okay. Doubtful if he would have taken as many of your liberties from you as the present administration. But, at least they made their cronies and buddies rich at your expense. If you like that kind of thing.
Oh, and the Obama and Osama intentional confusion thing? Good Lord(!) what kind of traitors are you folks? I have yet to see a 100+ IQ person do that, but that is probably the most un-American thing I have experienced in my 5 plus decades. Disgusting.

UP FRONT:I usually vote Republican,that said,GORE on a ticket would be the 2nd best thing that happened to the Republicans.(The best thing would be to pick Hillary as the Demo nominee.)That self assured paternalism ,that little smirk!Frankly I thought that Obama was the smartest and most erudite of all the candidates on the Democratic side.Remember Gore did not even carry his home state of Tennessee in the last election.We knew him!All the (campaign) money in the world does not make a fool a smart person ,or a leader!

Wow. Is Obama trying to lose? Gore is about half a millimeter away from being exposed as the biggest huckster and scam artist American politics has ever seen.

Greg, here’s some science for you:
Water vapor dominates. It is responsible for 95 percent of the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide and other CFC’s contribute only 5 percent of the effect. Carbon dioxide is the greatest contributor from this group at 3.6 percent. Carbon dioxide as a result of man’s activities is only 3.2 percent of that.
That makes man’s contribution to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere 0.12 percent.
We couldn’t change the climate if we wanted to because water vapor dominates.

How did Obama get $1.6 million? Maybe by selling two best-selling books???

“How did Obama get $1.6 million? Maybe by selling two best-selling books???”
Hey anonymous. Obama sold the books long after buying the house.

For Tacia. Talking to you people is like talking to a wall. What happens when all the permafrost melts and starts releasing mass quantities of methane (a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2) into the atmosphere? What happens when the oceans get so warm that all the methane hydrate on the seafloor begins erupting from the ocean floor and filling the atmosphere with even more methane? What happens when there is so much CO2 in the atmoshphere that the oceans can’t absorb it all without becoming overly acidified from the buildup of carbonic acid in the water and subsequently the oceans become toxic to shell building organisms like corals and snails? That will really work out well for the food chain I’m sure, considering the fact that most fish either depend on these types of shell building animals for shelter (coral) or food.
Human beings most certainly are capable of altering the earths climate, it’s already happening. Once it really gets going in full force there are all sorts of repurcussions that will follow, such as the increased releases of methane into our atmosphere. Throughout the 600,000 year history of ice core samples taken from antarctica, CO2 levels have never been even close to as high as they are now and they just keep getting even higher every year. The earth can only take so much before it’s natural regulatory systems start going haywire.

Politics as usual. Just vote. The rest is history.

“Obama admitted that everyone was traumatized by what happened in the 2004 with Senator John Kerry but that his candidacy is different…”
TRAUMATIZED? LOL!!! Please! Those of us who know from personal experience what a putz John Kerry is rather enjoyed it. The only one traumatized was Kerry.

Responding belatedly to John Romano’s post:
“TarHeel, what legislation has Obama sponsored that has passed in the US Senate?
Get your facts straight before writing your hero worship psalms here.”
I won’t even go into the fact that Senator Obama passed the biggest ethics reform in 25 years in the IL State Senate (can you imagine how difficult that is in Illinois?). I won’t detail how he brought law enforcement and civil rights groups to the table to overhaul the broken IL death penalty system that had sent 13 innocent people to death row, or that he expanded health insurance to 170,000 additional Illinoisans and their children. I won’t talk about expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit so people who work aren’t penalized by the tax code, or that he passed a bill requiring hospitals fill out report cards so that people know about their medical error rates and nurse to patient ratios and can make informed decision about their health care. I won’t get into those accomplishments, or any others that he had in his 8 years in Illinois, since you asked about the US Senate.
Well, let’s see. Senator Obama became the was appointed the point person on ethics and accountability for the Democrats because of his record in Illinois and teamed up with conservative Tom Coburn (R-OK) to pass transparency and accountability reform over the protests of both Republicans and even members of his own party. He worked with Russ Feingold (D-WI) to reveal lobbyists bundling and the influence of money in politics. He worked with Sam Brownback (R-KS) to toughen the US sanctions on the Sudanese government that is slaughtering its own citizens in Darfur. He worked with Chuck Hagel (R-NE) to secure loose nuclear materials around the world, and has worked with Dick Lugar (R-IN) to continue the provisions in Nunn-Lugar that also help dispose of loose nuclear weapons.
So, yes, let’s do get the FACTS straight. It is simply from a lack of effort and a closed mind that you don’t appreciate Obama for who he is. Call me a hero worshipper if you must. I’d say that my admiration for Senator Obama makes that about the only somewhat accurate part of your comment.
You have a choice America. Choose to close your minds and invoke mudslinging tactics, and you’ll deserve the divisiveness that you get. Take a day to actually look at which candidate believes what he is saying and has the judgment and courage to stand up for what is right for this country, even in the face of those who feel no sense of purpose for this country beyond their own petty interests, and you’ll get Barack Obama.

You can spout unsourced percentages all you like, but you’re flat wrong, Tacia, on several points.
Water vapor is indeed the biggest greenhouse gas, but estimates put its contribution at 36-70%, not 95%.
CO2 is estimated at 9-26% worth of contribution.
Your numbers regarding percentage of CO2 due to human activity are also wrong.
CO2 concentration tends to be cyclical, ranging from 180ppm to 280ppm over the past 400,000 years (this cycle follows the Ice Age pattern).
Current CO2 is ~380ppm, however, and that rise of over 100ppm corresponds with the start of the Industrial Revolution. 100/380 is about 26.3 percent increase in CO2 due to human activity, far more than your dubious 3.2% number.
Worst-case overall would be {(0.26 * 9) to (0.26 * 26)} = {2.34 to 6.76%} increase in greenhouse gases due to human activity. Clearly substantial enough to see the temp increases of a few percentage points over the past century.

Tacia your assertions are based on some seriously flawed reasoning and your numbers are dubious at best. Even if you were right about CO2 only contributing 3.6% to global warming, which is not an accurate figure, you are failing to take into account that everything we know about CO2 and its percentage contribution to the overall greenhouse effect is based upon total CO2 levels being confined to a very narrow range of between 180ppm to 280ppm. The industrial revolution of the last century has already increased that topline number of 280ppm to 380ppm. How much longer before we’re at 500ppm, 600ppm, 700ppm?
And like I said before, if we think CO2 is bad now, just wait for all this warming to trigger the explosive release of methane that’s in store for us down the road and you will have a whole new appreciation for the term heat wave.
According to the clathrate gun hypothesis a runaway greenhouse effect could be caused by liberation of methane gas from hydrates by global warming if there are sufficient hydrates close to unstable conditions. It has been speculated that the Permian-Triassic extinction event was caused by such a runaway effect. It is also thought that large quantities of methane could be released from the Siberian tundra as it begins to thaw, methane being 21times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
The clathrate gun hypothesis states that as sea temperatures rise the sudden release of methane from methane clathrate compounds buried in the seabeds will cause a drastic alteration of the ocean environment and the atmosphere of earth, as recent analysis concerning the Permian extinction event indicates may have happened in the past.
Methane clathrate, also called methane hydrate, is a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure. Extremely large deposits of methane clathrate have been found under sediments on the ocean floors of the Earth. The sudden release of large amounts of natural gas from methane clathrate deposits in a runaway greenhouse effect could be a cause of past and future climate changes. The release of this trapped methane is a potential major outcome of a rise in temperature; it is thought that this might increase the global temperature by an additional 5°C in itself, as methane is much more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Good gosh, so much bashing going on. THIS is why I’m voting for Obama. I’m tired of the bashing that keeps happening between the left and the right. We’re Americans and we need to unite and be proud of our country. We’re sinking while the rest of the world is passing us.
Vote Obama and bring about real change. You can say Barack Osama or Hussein Osama all you want, but it doesn’t matter. His father gave him a name and walked away, he’s proven himself a far greater man than his father and a far greater man than most other men. Obama for ’08. Take the corporate America out of the politics, they’re our leader.

I like Obama’s answer, that he would be a senior member on his administration — and I don’t necessarily think it’s VP — Obama would be a much better president for this country in a time of mending — Hillary is too much like Bush and there’s too much baggage that comes with her.

Obama-Gore?? Close but just a tad wrong. I’ve been predicting for 6 months that Al Gore is going to run for president and ask Obama to be his running mate. That’s assuming none of his children get arrested for drugs agian and the next Ice Age doesnt kick in the is winter.

Sometimes I find mainstream news articles frustrating to read, but comment sections like this one are absolutely frightening and I think they must be for everybody. I think many of these comments are insane. It feels like I accidentally walked into a room full of deluded bigots who keep pushing an us-against-them agenda based on some bitter and foggy principal. What’s so much more important to you than making sure we’re not destroying the planet? What makes you so violently dismissive about the delicate balance of the ecosystem and the history of our species? You may not believe in evolution. I just really hope it doesn’t believe in you.

Wow.
And here I’d always been taught that, if you grew up in America, you could aspire to be anything you wanted to be, and that doors were open to you.
Apparently this only applies if you have the right name (one that doesn’t rhyme with a terrorist’s) and the right religion (NOT Muslim).
Some of you could do with revisiting 5th grade civics class.

Gore should come out for Obama immediately – which, I think – push him to win the nomination. A 1-2 punch of Gore and Edwards’ endorsements would do the trick quite nicely. I think it would be payback for Gore, since he loathes the Clintons, and they loathe him. He still blames them for spoiling his White House chances…especially Hillary. Perhaps Obama should ask Edwards to sign on as his running mate. There are many tricks available to Obama if he seizes the opportunity. With the Clintons at his tail, he should proceed with urgency…the fierce urgency of now.
