FLINT, Mich. (AP) - Al Gore says he is backing Barack Obama and will do whatever he can to help him get to the White House.

In a letter to be e-mailed to Obama supporters, Gore says Obama has united a movement over the past year and a half.

The former vice president also asks for donations to help fund Obama's effort _ the first time he's asked members of his Web site AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign.

Gore is one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party, but he kept a low profile in the primary campaign. He's planning to appear with Obama at a rally in Detroit Monday night.

Gore never was a good buddy of the Clintons. But, how big is this endorsement since he is the only one still campaigning, I think it says something that he waited til Hillary suspended her campaign.

It's kind of what you'd expect. Strong arming the stragglers who are late to the train wreck that is BO's campaign. Why shouldn't Dean, Pelosi, Edwards et al force Gore down into the muck with the rest of them!

It's no big surprise and I DO NOT THINK it's going to have any bearing on the bleeding that's going on with the Party right now! I know it doesn't make me want to vote for him anymore then I did months ago! LOL Besides, Al Gore is a wanker..... I never liked him and only held my breath and voted for him in 2000.

No surprise here. However, it galls me to here this praise for Obama as uniting a movement. Hillary united a movement as well, 18 million strong. A lot stronger than Obama, who walked across the finish line as the presumptive nominee, on the crutches given to him by the superdelegates, and the DNC.

* and in MI of all places, hmm, where Obama stole 600k votes from uncommitted voters, and stole 4 of Hillary's delegates

Dince the DNC has told us he is our nominee, this is no surprise..Like someone else said, Gore holds a lot of resentment towards the Clinton's because of his own loss in 2000. Its also rumored that he and Hillary never saw eye to eye. Guess he is used to women like Tipper, not Hillary.

I am not sure that an endorsement from yet another democrat who lost the White House( didn't fight very hard even though he won) will make much of a differance. Will give the pundits something to talk about for a few days.

At least he waited until the primaries were over. Will be sad when he does this, but it was to be expected. They are all professional Democrats and have to show unity. After all, this is where their living comes from, being politicians and part of the party they represent.

Still, it won't make me vote for Nobama. Bah!

Another coward and loser... who cares. He can go hug a tree for all I care. Notice, all the losers go to him. Those with real political concerns don't want anything to do with him. Incidentally, everytime there is a negative, i.e., 3 who opted not to be vp, he pays lots of money to get someone like Gore to endorse him?

Sort of saying, well I'm not so bad, look I've got Richardson, Edwards... now Gore. It use to be after a big win by Hillary. Now its those who won't jump at his side. Interesting.

Does anyone else remember anytime in election history where you had a constant procession of endorsements? I cannot recall any. Al Gore and Judas Richardson both stated that they most likely would not endorse as they felt it didn't really mean much. The fact that they have both backtracked this message says VOLUMES about the state of the party...........

Al Gore would be president today if he had let President Bill Clinton campaign for him. But he didn't allow it and tried to distance himself from the president. He was a seen as an elitist who could not carry his home state of TN where both he and his father had been US Senators. This is a bankrupt party.

No one should be surprised about this. I'm sure they believe it will in some way demoralize us and weaken the opposition to Obama. Fat chance. Just shows how stupid and self-serving they are. All this does is further infuriate and entrench those determined to defeat Obama's corrupt campaign. They haven't just stolen an election, they stolen our votes and our democracy. This is bigger than us. This is our country at stake, our freedom.

Every attempt they make hardens my resolve and inspires me to work harder. This is the way revolutions are born, and ours is already well under way.

WHO WOULD WANT HIS ENDORSEMENT... he doesn't stand for the truth or integrity he is only interested in what works for him and makes him right against the world....

We can get the word out to others in the best way we can. We can distribute flyers, contribute to 527s, write to SDs and journalists. Blog with links to the forums and other proactive sites. Let's take massive and consistent action to stop OB. Let's do something everyday.

When Al Gore starts walking the Global Warming walk, and makes his entire million dollar lifestyle completely free of the use of fossil fuels, THEN I might have 0.5 an ounce of respect for him. Until then...he's still a zero in my book.

Al better look out. If he gets caught keeping his thermostat at 70 by the Obama campaign, he will get thrown under the bus...:p

In 1995, I first became aware of HAARP. I tried to igonore it for years. In 2005, I finally bought the book for my mother who used to have a secret clearance for her job as a technical draftsman drawing the insides of the Boeing Airplane cockpits.

She said she could not read it because it was too intense. She likes old-blibical archeology and other hyopcrisies.

So, I brought it back home and occasionally looked at it. I hid it from myself but I have read about it online several times even years before I bought the book.

This is what it boils down to for me. I had taken an Astrophysics course in college and did a report of Interstellar Space Travel. Well, our class went through many energy systems. Our professor was a life-long researcher of all things NASA. He basically ruled out transfering energy by the atmoshere and stated that it was too hot.

Well, the HAARP is all about Atmosphere. HAARP is a Government Program.

When I saw Al Gore's documentary on Global Warming, I felt that yes it is true that the Globe is Warming but no it is more likely that the Electromagnetic Frequencies are damaging the Atmosphere. I felt that Global Warming was a Cover-Story because the Security Issues of the Planet - Satellites, Weapons, etc... That is what I think.

If you sit in a cold room with your computer, you can feel that heat. That is if there are no fans. In fact, I often heat the room with my computer.

I will add some links in this topic. It is imperative to realize that there are technologies on our planet that are dangerous, no one can account for them all and all the old engineers are dying out. The new engineers are not trained for those technologies, some of which were invented to solve intricate unique issues.

Some of the main scientific findings from HAARP include:

Generation of very low frequency by modulated heating of the auroral electrojet, useful because generating VLF waves ordinarily requires gigantic antennas.
Production of weak luminous glow (below what you can see with your eye, but measurable) from absorption of HAARP's signal.
Production of ultra low frequency waves in the 0.1 Hz range, which are next to impossible to produce any other way.
Generation of whistler-mode vlf signals which enter the magnetosphere, and propagate to the other hemisphere, interacting with Van Allen radiation belt particles along the way.
VLF remote sensing of the heated ionosphere.
Research at the HAARP includes:

Ionospheric heating
Plasma line observations
Stimulated electron emission observations
Gyro-frequency heating research
Spread F observations
Airglow observations
Heating induced scintillation observations
VLF and ELF generation observations
Radio observations of meteors
Polar mesospheric summer echoes: Polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) have been studied using the IRI as a powerful radar, as well as with the 28 MHz radar, and the two VHF radars at 49 MHz and 139 MHz. The presence of multiple radars spanning both HF and VHF bands allows scientists to make comparative measurements that may someday lead to an understanding of the processes that form these elusive phenomenon.

They claimed that Al Gore was perpetrating a sham. Well, over the few months, it makes more sense. In Economics 101, 102, 201, 202 we can learn the Economic Models which began with the end of Fudalism. The first Economists engineered the Industrial Age. The model is very simple.

Cheap Resources + Cheap Labor = Significant Profit

Explore the world, enslave the people, kill the opposition. Create a Free World of Wealthy Elites. The Founding Fathers were ofcourse part of that. They had either slaves or indentured servants.

It makes sense the the Elite Democrats, who actually studied the Politics and Econimic Models of our Country, know how to manipulate the masses might sell U.S. Freedom in a Box with a DNC Label.

Personally, I felt that Hillary could break U.S. out of the Box because she would be thinking more like a Mother who thinks about her children. My grandfather and great uncles think like that. But I mean, she would be modeling that ideal - We and Them are part of U.S. vs. Do as I say not as I do.

In any case, I felt that Al Gore's Cover Story was good for the world in part - only partially. The other parts had to do with working on actual freedom from co-depency on Oil Wealthy Elites who control the World Really.

Apparently, the DNC did not want to give up their Old Democratic-Republican Party line of Elitism. They chose to re-package their Box.

Being Smart is about Self-Reflective Thought Processing.
He is not good at reflecting on his own thought.

All these guys, including BO, who cheated like crazy, get to live with the lovely fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton, villified by the media, robbed of MI and FL by backroom deals in 2007-2008, told to get out of the race when no male has ever been told to get out, outspent by BO and his laundered money, survived massive misogyny from all corners, WON MORE PRIMARY VOTES THAN ANYONE IN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY TO DATE.

THAT just cheers me right up every time I think of it. So all these guys play the party/abuse cycle now--we beat the living daylights out of you, stole your votes and delegates, downplayed the popular vote which we are told to reflect in our districts, and now, come home, play nice, and root for us.

I agree with the majority - BFD (big_deal). These long-time politicians feel some obligation to the party - even if the party has stabbed them in the back.

My theory has always been that Gore thought he would remain uncommitted and hope that the convention would be deadlocked so that he could magnanimously step in as some kind of party unifying hero that was owed the nomination. BUT the Four Mousketeers (Dean, Pelosi, Reid, & Brazile) finally pulled him aside and poured the Kool-Aid down his throat - you know Obama for All and All for Obama.

OH PLEASE AL GORE is ONLY ENDORSING OBAMA because the DNC kissed his ass to do it! If he was really so hot to trot for him he'd have endorsed weeks ago! The Party is hemorraging in MAJOR numbers and they think this is going to help some how......LOL SORRY it's too late for help!

That's right, this is just another pseudo "unity" ploy. I hope he doesn't let them browbeat him into running with BHO.

Maybe I'm just paranoid but I don't find Al Gore's endorsement just before Larry Sinclair's press conference a coinsidence.

They are trying to drown out the news item on Larry's conference by making it so closely before and in Michigan. So, it is just media foil chaff... and a fight for Michigan.

If the objective is to get a following.. ZILCH result.

Well I don't think his endorsement will change a thing, just lke Ewards didn't changed a thing! It was expected since BO is the "presumptive nominee"......

This is no huge surprise, from his own blog here (http://blog.algore.com/2008/06/my_endorsement.html):




This finishes his backstab of his former boss and Hillary. Hope he gets the VP slot to lose.

Oh, don't worry. That backstabbing wound healed on Bill and Hillary years ago.

Gore endorsement is no more than empty air. It will not get me to vote for Obama. Now this whole DNC conspiracy is complete. I hope they all reap what they have sowed.

Obama always makes some kind of announcemnt to divert attention away from what's happening, when what's happening to him is bad. Obviously this endorsement cost him money, but it may not matter in time....there's a lot of dirt getting accumulated against Obama, we're starting to look at a mountain now....and it's smelling like manure..

I don't think Gore wants VP. At least Gore waited for all of the primaries to be over and Hillary to suspend her campaign before endorsing Obama. I can give him a little respect (very little) for that.

So true. He did what Hillary asked. Waited til all votes cast. Remember Terry McAuliffe said a month ago we will know the nominee on June 15. I think Clinton campaign in private talks with DNC aqnd SDs asked them to wait til then

I think the real motive behind this endorsement now is that fact the DNC needs money. They hope it will bring in more money.

They have Hannity and Colmes split screen with the endorsment. Obama is getting endorsed and Rove and Hannity are talking critizing it as a dumb move to do this in MI. THEY HAVE NO SOUND ON THE ENDORSEMENT!

Let's see how much Gore can help BO for a bump in Gallup poll.

I'd say 1 points and fade. anyone?

I'd really say there won't be a bump. Too many people don't care about Gore anymore.

Al Gore will be known in history as the last VP to run for President having been attached to peacetime, an economic boom, huge budget surplus, and STILL lose.

Oh, yes. Just more of that "party unity" thing.

You summed it up for me! Gore's endorsement for Kerry/Edwards didn't matter , obviously so it doesn't matter if he endorsed Obama. However, I thought it was disrespectful to ask Hillary supporters to donate for Obama. NO thanks! I think it was all party politics. Look at his running mate of 2000, he endorsed McCain, so I believe they pressured him to do it.

stand up for HILLARY AGAINST SEXISM... I am all for the PLANET however what does it mean when a person and in particular this man whose life work is to promote appreciation and care and concern for people and the environment and yet allows Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Former First Lady to be disrespected and maligned in the manner of sexual harrassment, abuse, character assasination, sexualized and misogyny and think this is okay... WHO WOULD WANT HIS ENDORSEMENT... he doesn't stand for the truth or integrity he is only interested in what works for him and makes him right against the world....

NOBAMA FOREVER like NOGORE ever!

At least he waited until the primaries were over. Will be sad when he does this, but it was to be expected. They are all professional Democrats and have to show unity. After all, this is where their living comes from, being politicians and part of the party they represent.

Still, it won't make me vote for Nobama. Bah!

Great post and seriously folks, we all need to exhale. I am grateful Gore didn't interfere until after Dean and Co. proclaimed Obama the nominee. Gore is doing EXACTLY what Hillary did...play the "good" party person. The fact that Gore didn't endorse until now speaks volumes of his faith in Obama. Rather than rag on Gore, we should be grateful he held back.

Al Gore feel for Obama's Ookie Doke and endorsed him tonight, well, I saw this coming, and I lost respect for him as well, Al also asked for donations to help Obama and the DNC, well, know money will be sent by me to help support this gender-biased and corrupt party known as the DNC no way no howI don't care who endorses Obama, that does not impress or move me to go against my ethics and principles, if no Hillary as the nominee, than no donations to the Party, that's final, I'm not helping to unite my former party who has lost its way.

I could care less! I don't want the gang of losers endorsing Hillary at all!

I don't want her associated with any losers anyway!

Anybody, with any political acumen, knows Gore lost because he turned his back on Bill! If he would have let Bill stump for him, he would have been President, and his endorsement would mean something! :eek::eek::eek:

This should really read:

"Al Gore To Endorse Obama, Formally Entering Himself into the Pantheon of Losers."

I can't say that this is a surprise, but I was hoping he'd stay out of this totally, not just for the sake of the people that made him, but for his own legacy. I can't forgive him for this. I respected this man to no end, but to endorse an illegitimate after having been through the same situation Hillary has now gone through speaks to a deep, deep sickness within the party.

Watching the Democratic Party over the past half-year has been like watching a fireworks factory explode in slow motion, with many a violent and brilliant bursts of light from former Democratic heroes who've now cemented their electoral fate with the base of the party.

Really, this reminds me of when President Johnson lost the South for the Democrats when he signed into effect Civil Rights. But, unlike that needed purging of real racists, this purge has been an attack on the very noble ideas at the base of the party. Democracy is burning at the DNC, and I'm afraid we're not going to be able to put out the fire.

Now I can finally say this...Al Gore was too much of a chicken shit to fight Bush and his cronies and even though he secured the popular vote he refused to fight for electoral votes that rightly belonged to him. He obviously did not care about the will of the people then and does not care now.

Here is an article by this group. The group states they are non-partisan, but I don't think that really means too much. Perhaps they just do not believe Al Gore's climate change theory. They came out with this press release on the day of the endorsement.

Full article: http://www.tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=764

"Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month
Gore’s personal electricity consumption up 10%, despite “energy-efficient” home renovations ."

Remember that Al Gore did not carry his home state in 2000.
