Gore congratulates Obama, but wants no role in possible administration

[spanone]

WASHINGTON -- Al Gore called Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on Tuesday to congratulate him on earning the Democratic nomination for president.

But the former vice president does not want any position in a possible Obama administration, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Kalee Kreider said in written responses to questions that Gore has not even determined when he will announce his endorsement.

1. I don't really see where Gore would fit into the Cabinet anyway... He's been VEEP...

so what other roll could he possibly be in?

14. Forget him???

:eyes:

He's OUR president. He never lost in 2000. The Supreme Court gave it to Bush. Or did you forget that?

[BostonMa]

16. How could we ever forget him? That's just wrong man

[FatDave]

7. Not even Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency?

:cry:

12. I thought the same until

I thought about the response from the right. Talk about more fodder distracting from an Obama campaign. Let Al keep saying "no place in that Administration for me" until AFTER the election....

13. True, perhaps that is very wise. (nt)

11. Doesn't Gore realize

... that by NOT endorsing the wife of his former boss, he's already said all that he needs to say? Nothing could be louder than how QUIET he's been during this primary season. Why be so reticent, especially now that the race is over?

Oh, and happy 200th post to me! :party:

17. Al Gore is happy doing what he is doing.
