After Al Gore’s embarrassing endorsement of failed Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean, this year, he took the safe route and endorsed Obama only after he clinched the nomination.
Al Gore announced his endorsement of Barack Obama Monday and promised to help the Democrat achieve what eluded him — the presidency.
“I present to you the next
president of the United Statesjunior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama!” Gore said in a brief introduction of Obama at a Detroit fundraiser. He planned a later appearance with Obama at a 20,000-person rally at the Joe Louis Arena.

“Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action,” Gore wrote. “With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country’s most pressing problems.”
Yeah, Barack united a big movement all the while dividing the Democratic Party. D’oh!
But really, Al Gore thinks global warming is a more serious threat than terrorism… If Barack wants that endorsement he can have it.
