silly Gore!

Gore endorsed Oabama last night and his speech was fantastic. I may not be a diehard Obama OR Gore supporter, but I enjoyed everything about this speech.

My personal favorite highlights:

"I remember when one prominent Republican wondered out loud whether the Democratic nominee, and I quote, 'really is grown up enough to be president.' Another used the phrase, quote, 'naive and inexperienced.' Yet another said, quote, 'the United States cannot afford to risk the future of the free world with inexperience and immaturity in the White House,' end quote. Who are they talking about? Every single one of those quotations came from the campaign of 1960, when the Republicans attacked John Fitzgerald Kennedy for allegedly lacking the age and experience necessary to be president. Richard Nixon's slogan in that campaign was 'experience counts,' to which John F. Kennedy responded, and I quote, 'to exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44, would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, and Christopher Columbus from even discovering America.'"

"If you care about food safety, if you like a "T" on your B.L.T., you know that elections matter. If you got poisoned, lead-filled toys from China or adulterated medicine made in China, if you bought tainted pet food made in China, you know that elections matter. After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter!"

HAHA! LOVE IT!
