Al Gore, in an interview with the Sun, said he will not be working, formally, in the next president's administration. Not for Hillary Clinton, not for Barack Obama, not for John McCain.
“I don’t intend to be a part of any administration,” he told the Sun. “I’ve been Vice President, I ran for President twice, so I don’t have any interest in being a cabinet member. I think my best use is in building grass-roots support. I will, of course, give advice to whoever asks me for advice on this and will work to help but not in a formal way.”
It's not much of a shock. Gore has grown so powerful as a campaigner for action to solve "the climate crisis," as he calls it, that he can have an audience with any world leader. He commands a far larger audience than any EPA administrator or energy secretary. In short, he's more powerful – and more likely to be effective – as is.
Right now, Gore's strategy includes a multimillion-dollar marketing campaign and an update to the famous slide show featured in An Inconvenient Truth.

Good move, Mr. Gore. And also, he would be attached to any failures or scandals et al of any subsequent administration. It is much better he retain his independence and ability to do this his way.

Al Gore has found his passion - stirring up grassroots action to take on global warming. Why would he give that up for politics? Can't say I blame him.

I can't blame him either and love him all the more for his honesty about it. Grassroots action is where we will make the tide turn. I'll be going out this spring to do just that. It has to start with us.

I don't care about that. This isn't a popularity contest.

Mr Gore has an opportunity to become a revolutionary individual that is doing something to remember in history.
He is not wasting time with the drama about black, white, and women stuff. Politics has become Hollywood material and money based.
I support this decision.
Time for aggressive behavior with no rules and directions. Thinking new visions and not what the media tells people. -
You go, AL! While I certainly hope the next administration asks him for advice (and follows it), I like him bettter this way. He can say what he wants and do what he wants without all the hype to be polictically correct! He can give 'em hell when they need it. U love the man he has become!
