A Photo Of A Real Leader: Al Gore

God, am I proud to call this man my President and even prouder to personally call him a friend.



Who is with me--Al Gore in 2008!!

and that's what I want to see a president looking like in a crisis, sweaty and looking like he gives a damn, and not in pressed khakis and button down shirts, looking like he just left the 9th hole at his golf club...

I respect what he is doing but he ought to burn the negative to this one!

Karl Rove, eat your heart out,

I likes my men sweaty, caring and intelligent.

And, I'd vote for Gore if he won the 2008 nomination, but I'll be working on getting Clark the nomination, myself. And, I'm a Tennessean.

absolutely beautiful. Why does this picture make me want to cry?

anyone from the House and Senate? Do you?

You CAN still like the guy and acknowledge an ass-ugly picture of him.

That sweat is real, and came from working his ass off in the humidity and heat. He has given his all for his fellow human beings. What is in his heart as this picture is taken overrides outward appearance.

That is possibly the best picture of Al Gore I have ever seen or could have imagined.

You go, Al!

attempt, like bush did -- http://www.fromtheroots.org/story/2005/9/3/19542/97952

Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast – black and white, rich and poor, young and old – deserve far better from their national government.

Gore is a real leader, not a f-rated actor playing the part.

Unbelievable.

Love Gore all you want, hell I like the guy, but I'm not going to delude myself that a photo is a good photo just because it has a politician I like in it. What kind of logic is that?

Thank you, Prez Gore for gettin' down there in New Orleans and doin' what needs to be done..Thank you!

Yeah right? What was that orange make-up doing on him in that debate?
Everyone knows that you cannot stop Mohammed Atta with orange make-up so it has an all out importance during a presidential campaign.

he looks like he's WORKING. he looks fantastic.

He was too busy working to get in the chair and have his hair and makeup done for him before the picture was snapped.

...sorry they didn't have the make-up crew available...:eyes:

How fucking shallow can you get. Is this FR??

that's someone who's willing to take charge and get his hands dirty.

This is what ALL the Dems need to be doing even if they don't look prepped.

That is a picture of a beautiful man who holds true compassion for the people of America. NEVER forget that satan is often seen in a pretty package. That is the evil and allure. Turn away from the stench of pretty packages and see the true worth of individual's whose spirit and aura are absolutely breathtaking ... Gore IS one gorgeous man! :loveya:

Do you think someone of the likes Paris Hilton (and her lap dog) could lead such an effort? :puke:

It's a much better looking pic than any politician looking crisp and starched in these circumstances, and especially * with his fake photo op. (and some I've seen of Al when he had no excuse. Sorry, Al fans. But we shouldn't judge a person's heart by their ability to pose for the camera anyway.)

You go Al!!

Please post some pictures of yourself rescuing survivors of Katrina so we can all see how you look when you're exhausted.

and he should be!

It's clear he's actually DOING SOMETHING, as opposed to Marie "Let's eat cake!" Bushtoinnette.

in 2008. If he decides to run, I'm with him.

Gotta love the guy. He'd do it better this time.
He'd win big. That would be HUGH1111111

GO GORE!

couldnt have said it better.

He was elected in 2000. :( And yes, that is the face of a real leader.

But I don't think he'll ever run again Jackson. Great picture though! :)

That is a beautiful picture of a compassionate can do leader. I salute you Mr. Gore. :patriot:

i watched his MoveOn speeches ...

Al is the real deal ... something in him has changed ...

Yep, he gets it. But how quaint of him to actually believe in democracy instead of Machiavelli. Too radical.

I'll vote for him. WAAAAAAAAAAAY before Hillary.

And, actually, I think he's kinda hot here. Not that that's why I'd vote for him. I mean, I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 (before you flame, I am a registered Democrat in Texas, thus my vote didn't count!).

He's not surrounded by guards and isn't even using a teleprompter. And where's his smirk? How can you be presidential without a smug look of self satisfaction every time you use a polysyllable correctly. That's hardly presidential looking, him with no tie, no cowboy hat. And look behind him. Do you see any grownups in ties standing behind him to reassure us that all that incoherent mumbling he's doing commands respect from a bunch of important guys in ties? How can we believe Gore is speaking coherently if there aren't any old dudes in ties standing behind him?

Sorry, but I just don't see "the president" in this sweaty, articulate man.

:hi: He usually does. :hi:

How can he turn pages in that presidential way if he's just TALKING instead of READING?

We were so robbed in 2000....

Do we kindly DU him? LOL... I'll do anything... he is for REAL.

He's shown me something in the last day or so, that I never knew he had...and in regards to the picture...this is the way I want MY leader to look, in a time of crisis...in there getting his hands dirty, and sweating all over the place...proves he's human and has a heart...

And refusing to take credit for it.

Here's one of the more "public" of them:

now more than ever we need this man.

Ha!

"Too busy" over "no comment?"

Ya gotta love that.

Downloading right now.

a heartbeat.

I always thought he was a visionary, intellectual, and too good for this nation of (51%) morons.

but it's a very genuine picture and shows him really doing something - and not for a photo op either. Unlike that worthless callous bastard in office now, he doesn't have to be 'dressed up' all the time.

It also speaks to his sincerity in not wanting to publicize his efforts.

This nation really missed out on what could have been a really amazing president :(

...I would vote for him again in a heartbeat.

:wtf:

Gore was outspent by 2 to 1 because he accepted campaign spending limits on principal, had the worst, most hostile coverage of any Presidential candidate ever, and again, he made up a 20 point deficit to win.

The only thing that kept him out of the White House was massive voter disenfranchisement in Florida and the Extreme Court.

Bush v. Gore, that's the real :wtf:

:cry: :patriot: :mad:

one that is sorely lacking in today's Democratic party...

... yeah, I'm serious. What a f**king contrast to the most recent Bush pics.


-P

Someone dump a bucket of water over his head? He must have been hustling quite a bit to sweat that much. It's refreshing to see a picture of a leader that looks like he gives a damn.

I salute you, President Albert Gore Jr.

:toast: to Prez Al Gore and his Wet Head!

... as much as I despise the thought of another Repug President EVER, it's not fair that Poopypants has had 8 years to totally destroy everything this country ever stood for, and then waltz off to Crawford to let some Dem try to clean it up...

There's no way in HELL I would ever consider running in 2008 if I were Al, because of the impossibility of the task that awaits the next Prez.

:cry:

:patriot:

and he isn't afraid of doing it.

For all the complaints I have about Gore, I still think he would have been a good president.

It's a damn shame.

:yourock:

nt

like right now! Seriously, he wasn't afraid to get his butt out there and do some REAL "hard" work. I'm tired of georgey boy showing up in his obviously - intentionally slept in clothes, for a mere photo op.

What we need is someone to lead us during this crisis.

al gore is the president, and was done wrong.....

we are going to need one extremely intelligent man to try to clean up the mess the turd in the whitehouse will leave.

one that "gets" the BIG picture.

al gore is that man.

i would vote, and work, for him in a second.

so am I.

I think he'd be the ABSOLUTE best pick for '08.

He already beat the repukes once, I'm sure he could do it again.

Seriously, he's one of the few guys I have "dude crushes" on. That is, someone I respect and admire with my total being.

I'm also kind of hoping for Gore/Clark in 2008, but I know it's a pipedream.

A Real Man, not a coward, not a self promoter.

What America Needs!

I'm beginning to think that Al should re-think his exit from the political arena. This guy has it all...especially with that Tipper at his side.

Man, I miss Al and Tipper.

...for demonstrating what real leadership is. The country needs you.:patriot:

Pretend Leader --



TWO FAKE TURKEYS

Clark, Gore, Dean.

I've been thinking about Gore a lot lately. BTW, don't forget about Conyers in that great list of you. :)

What a leader he is.

best candidate. Granted, he's a bit right of me on some issues --but so are the other leading contenders ---

He seems to be aligning himself with the more progressive forces and it would be ludicrous to suggest that he cannot win --- since he already did even when the deck was strongly stacked against him and there was tremendous voter apathy.

Americans like come-back kids
