First Citizen Gore

Back in the early days of our republic, the fonding fathers were more like gentleman politicians than professional ones. They thought it was unseemly to run for office and preferred to be above ambition, to be called by the people.
Left leaning Democrats complain about Sen Obama's inevitable move to the center. But former Vice President Gore doesn't have to compromise. He is not running for office and so doesn't have to cattier to corporate interests. He can call it as he sees it. He seems to relish his new found respect as a leader above the fray. Bill Clinton should have been in a similar position except he was running for office through his wife.
He has been a sore loser, grumpy and childish and has tarnished the reverence given to former Presidents.

Whomever the next president is, it's obvious that Al Gore should be the next energy Czar.
However Gore says he's not interested and can do more in the private sector. He may be right.
He is absolutely right that we need to marshal all our resources on solving global warming.
The other major change America needs to make is to stand down as the worlds superpower.
The money we spend on the military would go a long way to solving problems here at home. But that is something that no politician is willing to take on. That's how you get yourself killed, just ask JFK.
