WALLINGFORD, Pa. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama says as president he would consider putting Al Gore in a Cabinet-level position—or higher. A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming.

"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues but climate change is real."

WELL said!

The self-involved elites suffer from diverse spiritual and mental issues IMO...a prevailing darkness if you will.

That's fine as long as they take it somewhere else (as in out of my face) and quit using government to sanction it...

You must be confusing me with someone else. As I have said repeatedly, what I want is an end to the Bush regime's wars of aggression and violations of civil liberties. What is cowardly about that?

I think the cowardly people are the ones who want -- or at least are willing -- to see those atrocities continue, just so that they can feel safe.

You want to believe that Obama is different on the war and he isn't. His advisors want bigger wars, globalism and further suspension of civil liberties. Why you refuse to acknowledge this is perplexing, if you were in control of common sense. You are a neo-con and perhaps don't realize it. Your position is that you will sacrifice everything for something you imagine is true. That you can't face it, is cowardly.

No one wants the atrocities to end more than the Ron Paul folks, and I think you know that. That he is not going to win doesn't mean people abandon their principles, or what is right in nature. That you feel you must embrace 'something' that sounds good, when under the smallest scrutiny is abhorrent, is contemptable and worse.

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers around the world who are now slaves to the madness, and you are not doing your part to defend or support them, who believe, they are supporting you.

What twisted mind can say that Obama's advisors blueprints for bigger wars, is somehow better is beyond my understanding.

That he is able to dance around direct answers and you swallow it, is unbelievable.

You constantly hide behind Party labels to make your case for you... since you can NOT make a good one for BO.

He's a globalist, and their first order of business is to destroy what's left of our country. You will have your way, and I suspect you will be the biggest flag waver if your guy is leading the charge.

We know it’s time to time to restore our Constitution and the rule of law. This is an issue that was at the heart of Senator Dodd’s candidacy, and I share his passion for restoring the balance between the security we demand and the civil liberties that we cherish.

The American people must be able to trust that their president values principle over politics, and justice over unchecked power. I’ve been proud to stand with Senator Dodd in his fight against retroactive immunity for the telecommunications industry. Secrecy and special interests must not trump accountability. We must show our citizens - and set an example to the world - that laws cannot be ignored when it is inconvenient. Because in America - no one is above the law.

It’s time to reject torture without equivocation. It’s time to close Guantanamo and to restore habeas corpus. It’s time to give our intelligence and law enforcement agencies the tools they need to track down and take out terrorists, while ensuring that their actions are subject to vigorous oversight that protects our freedom. So let me be perfectly clear: I have taught the Constitution, I understand the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution when I am President of the United States.

Finally, it’s time to once again inspire this nation to rally behind a common purpose - a higher purpose. Throughout his campaign, Senator Dodd spoke eloquently about the need to turn the page to a new era of public service. That is the legacy of his own family - the legacy of a father who stood up to the Nazis at Nuremberg, and a young man who enlisted in the Peace Corps after he heard President Kennedy’s call to service on a cold Inauguration Day.

From Obama's speech accepting Dodd's endorsement.

I heard him call for restoring habeas corpus in his first campaign speech in New Hampshire, after Iowa. The New Yorker says he repeatedly calls for restoring habeas corpus in his speeches, and that the line always gets big applause.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

He supported the unconstitutional Patriot Act.

He liked to refer to himself as a Constitutional Professor, which he is not, and when caught, corrected it to lecturer.

Speeches are nice, but where is he on the floor of the Senate, speaking out about such?

Why embed his advisors with CFR members and hate mongerers? Maybe you can expand on your personal logic.

PS Obama is also not the type of globalist that considers protectionism a bad word.

You better read up on Zbig then. As a reminder, he and his son Mark are advisors to Obama. I would say that alliance is one that requires some attention.

As I mentioned the other day, Obama should run as 3rd party and declare the positions that are his own, and toss the globalists from his circle.

And I have repeatedly pointed out to you that The Grand Chessboard, from a decade ago, no longer represents Brzezinski's thinking. The more recent The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership (2004) and Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower (2007) are very different in their thinking.

As I mentioned the other day, Obama should run as 3rd party and declare the positions that are his own, and toss the globalists from his circle.

And then he would get one percent of the vote, just like every other third party candidate. Our electoral system is completely rigged against third parties. Picture this: A hurdles race with multiple tracks. Two tracks have "hurdles" that consist of wooden platforms about six inches high, all the runners in those lanes have to do is to not be so uncoordinated that they actually trip over them. The "hurdles" in the other lanes consist of brick walls about fifty feet high, soaked in a mix of crude oil, raw sewage and toxic waste. The tops of the walls are set with shards of broken glass. And there's one wall every five feet, and each one is ten feet taller than the one before it.

THAT is the system we currently have that confronts third party candidates. It's a joke, a sham, there will NEVER EVER EVER be a "third party" candidate elected to the presidency. We'll grow wings and fly to the moon under our own power before that happens. The Plutocrats have rigged this system REAL good, all for them, nothing for us, and that's how it's going to stay until there's a major revolt.

And I have pointed out to you that his blueprint led to disaster and is hurting the cause of imperialism. That his plan was a bad and deadly one, and his aim is to move for a wider and bigger war. A bad plan with yet another bad plan for the cause of globalism and one world order.

Zbig's foreign policy philosophy is rooted in WWII and cold war western alliances. It bears little or no resemblance to the neocon, imperialistic globalism of the highjacked Republican party.

It is not congruent with my own politics of populist protectionism and isolationism but it's miles closer that what your (my old) party has arrived at. In the words of RR, I didn't leave the party, it left me.

Agreed, but you do remember the months of trying to get Ron Paul to run 3rd party to show that he rejects the evil GOP? Well, why shouldn't the same standard be applied to Obama if he were, in fact, different?

It exposes the shills, liars and moles that infested this place for months.

They didn't rig it well enough to prevent JFK from becoming president. And then he proved enough of a nuisance to them that they had him assassinated.

Obama MIGHT turn out the same.

Have you read the Grand Chessboard yet, or still jonesing to ignore the glaring goals of Zbig and the CFR? Of course his strategy changes, to find the best path to create the least resistance to Global Corporate control. It's hideous.

Have you read ANYTHING about how we got here, or are you satisfied to fill your shelves with only that which agrees with your opinion at the moment?

History is not something you can choose, and if it were so, there are millions buried whose families would love to change it as well.

Are you so divorced from reality that you CAN not see, or is it easier to hide your eyes?

I have read The Choice, a much more recent book than The Grand Chessboard. I doubt if anybody else on this thread or forum has read even that much Brzezinski. If I ever get around to reading another book by him, it will be his most recent one. Since it deals something close to the current world, it would be a more productive use of my time.

I see no reason why I should waste my time reading a book he published about a decade ago, in a very different world.

Brzezinski recognizes that the world has changed. Other people seem stuck in Cold War thinking.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
