Larsen: The president in waiting

[zabet]

Time for Gore to stop talking and start running

Al Gore must step out of his role as influential statesman, realize duty calls and enter the 2008 race for the presidency.

Gore has shown in recent years how determination can make a difference. And his determination could find no better outlet than helping this nation regain its world leadership role, especially in the face of this aging planet's most insidious threat: destruction by humanity's ever-growing burden on the environment.

-----

The next president must be, above all else, a statesman whose vision extends well beyond this nation's border, one who understands how to work with and not browbeat foreign leaders and one who will seek a consensus with other nations and not demand they slavishly bend to this nation's will.

-----

On stage Saturday in New Jersey, Gore asked audience members to commit themselves to a seven-point pledge that includes urging a moratorium on new coal-powered plants and an increased effort to find more renewable energy.

"I would like to ask each and every one of you to answer the call," he said.

Gore has issued his call. Will he heed the nation's call?

2. I will be very, very disappointed if Gore does not answer the call.

I understand his reluctance. He was cheated and abused when he was in the political arena, and he has a good life now. However, if a man ever fit the needs of the time, he is that man.
