91. I think it is commendable for Mr. Gore to have done this. However,
things might have turned out differently,and not for the better either. He could be facing a lot of backlash now for acting without the full backing of the government. Our country has rules and regulations for good reasons-even though they sometime seem to work against us.
I am also wondering why this one episode of heroics keeps on being posted over and over again. And why the constant questioning of there being no mention of this in the press? This wasn't suppose to be a photo-op exercise. It was suppose to be one US citizen doing what he could to help out the sick and dying in NO.

Al Gore is a good man I'm sure, but the constant postings bringing up his good deeds in NO are being diminished by what appears to be a 2008 Presidential push by some posters.
