Obama Has Gore

In an effort to help Democrats fully claim Washington in November, former Vice-President Al Gore announced his endorsement of Barack Obama. You probably recall that Gore went up against current President George Bush back in 2000. In addition to his role in politics, Gore is widely known for his Academy Award winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. His work in the theory of global warming led him to earning the Nobel prize.

Sen. Obama had this to say about Gore, "He's somebody who is a visionary, not just for the party, but for the country." It's possible that Obama has Gore in the back of his mind when it comes to his own plan on energy and the environment. And just so you have an idea, Obama's plan includes the following:

• Reduce Carbon Emissions 80 Percent by 2050
• Invest in a Clean Energy Future - $150 billion over 10 yrs.
• Support Next Generation Biofuels
• Set America on Path to Oil Independence
• Improve Energy Efficiency 50 Percent by 2030
• Restore U.S. Leadership on Climate Change

Al Gore has stated that he intends to do whatever he can to make sure Obama is elected the president. This includes asking members of his website to contribute to Obama's campaign, and helping to push for a recount whenever needed- hah.

During Gore's official endorsement for Obama, he made it very clear how elections matter. It's also very possible he may have been blaming the current administration for the Tomato problem. Whatever the case may be Sen. Obama has Gore.
