Gore For Civilian Activist 2008

The presidency is not a place for our visionaries. Yes, we need to elect our best citizens to the office (best does not equal family of past royalty), but the fact that the president is a manager of a diverse country and a lead player in an even more diverse world constrains what can or cannot be said, done and proposed from the Oval Office. Change happens best from among the commons.

Al Gore should lead the commons and not be tied by political consultants, polls and those who claim to know best. Gore speaks outside of the box of the "rules" that all American politicians seemed confined to. He does not compete to repeat as many sound bites as possible, but talks to the American people in full ideas. The minute he decides to run for president, however, all his leadership by example will be lost - replaced with buzz words that mean nothing and border on lies (see the 2007-05-24 Daily Show for both Gore clear and relaxed plus a reel on the DoJ lies that continue to grow by the day). Gore can do much better outside the world of our puff ball politics.
