Obama Promises More Gore
In another reason to vote for John McCain, Barack Obama wants to hire Al Gore to work for his administration, should he win.
At a town-hall meeting, Obama was asked if he would tap the former vice president for his Cabinet to handle global warming.
"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now."
Earlier, Rich pointed out Ted Turner's rather more gory outlook. So apparently, our choices are Gore or gore. Or McCain, who we at least stand some chance of getting to exercise some restraint.
