Gore is an international tribune, leading an international movement on climate change. The next President of the United States will be a loser, who will in effect be a janitor, cleaning up the BushCo mess. The Fox Fake News will howl every day about how badly the cleanup is hurting bussness (the rich buddies). This next 4 years will be exhausting, and just like Bill Clinton didn't get ANY CREDIT for balancing the budget, the next prez will get no credit for cleaning up this mess.
The next president will have to deal with these anti-science , anti-global warming howlers, who will fight every step of the way. Oklahoma Senator Inhofe, if he isn't defeated by Andrew Rice, will be the worst howler. These howlers are idiots and shouldn't be elected to any political office.
Did Ghandi need to be president of India to accomplish change? No. (He did lead the Indian National Congress for one year, 1924, and did not have much power unlike our Unitary Executive King George W Bush).In fact, if he was president he would have had to deal with idiots just like Inhofe, and for the good of the party, couldn't really challenge him. That wouldn't get anything done.
Leading our international laughingstock government isn't really a good platform to effect change on an international level.
Just go to England and say that Bush is the leader of the free world. You will hear laughs and jeers. That means that we have lost the moral authority to lead.
We need to realize that our political process doesn't work, even when we elect Democrats. Our politics are paralyzed and can't get anything done.
Gore has entered the realm of a prophet like Mandela. Why would anybody want to go from that rare position to be a janitor to clean up these horrible, anti-government, anti-science BushCo policies.
Realty has finally set in with me. Relying on our worthless federal government to accomplish anything is crazy. If you believe in our government, you are delusional. Even the minority party in congress, the Republicans, can block any progress. We have reached a political stalemate.
