Goosepimple inducing quote- "I am under no illusion..."

Edited on Sun Sep-02-07 09:32 AM by stlsaxman

found this on Daily Kos: GoreWatch: Calendar Updated, Lend A Hand

posted by limpidglass is a quote from Al Gore that gave me goosepimples when i read it. unfortunately there is not any link to the originating article. if anyone could assist in the search i'd be much obliged. enjoy!

"I have enjoyed the luxury of being able to focus single-mindedly on (climate change)," says Gore, back on the patio at his Nashville home. "But I am under no illusions that any position has as much ability to influence change as the presidency does. If the President made climate change the organizing principle, the filter through which everything else had to flow, then that could really make a huge difference."

From the article The Last Temptation of Al Gore.

And I love that quote. There are several folks on this site that try to tell us differently, but Al is alot smarter than most people.

5. That quote is the same reason I have been patiently waiting

for Al Gore to announce.

I have felt all along, that he was waiting to see if any of the other candidates would make Climate Change a big part of their platform.

And so far, none have. (Although Kucinich comes close.)

6. I think thats why he hasn't said

he is for anyone of them running. He knows Dennis won't win and the others are more worried about Iraq and other issues.
