This Friday in Oslo, Norway, the winner of the Noble Peace Prize will be announced. It is heavily believed that the award will be presented to Al Gore. The former vice-president has spent much of the past year educating the public about the severity of the climate crisis.With the rumors at hand it raises the question as to whether or not he will toss his hat in the presidential elections. Many Gore supporters have started a draft calling for Gore to run for the position of America’s next Commander-in-Chief. While Gore hasn’t said that he plans to run, he also hasn’t said that he won’t. When asked about Gore on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Hilary Clinton said she felt that the Democratic Party was already full of great candidates- but she hopes he wins the award.
So will Al Gore run? If he was to enter the race, certainly has time, he would change the current course the Democrats are on. But if he did run and was elected, how would he lead America? In his Academy Award-winning documentary film he warned us how it’s time we do something about the problems in the environment, while at the same time did quite a bit of rambling on his own life. Gore certainly has the right attitude in mind when it comes to protecting the environment. But it seems to me to be all talk and no action. Talk about an inconvenient truth.
