What the man who should've been president did in New Orleans

Al Gore, private citizen, began an initiative on Thursday, September 1st. He personally and privately rented an American Airlines jet and crew, got a doctor friend of his and several nurses, and on Saturday morning, he flew to Louis Armstrong airport in New Orleans, gathered up 140 elderly and ill people from the triage center there and flew them to the Knoxville, Tennessee airport. They were met by relief workers who unloaded the plane and took the people to area hospitals which were on alert and ready to welcome the people. After being checked out, those who were able were taken to a Red Cross shelter set up at a local church. On Sunday, they flew to Dallas and collected another planeload of refugees and brought them to Chattanooga. With no publicity, no interviews, no photo ops.

HE WOULD'VE MADE A GOOD PRESIDENT. INSTEAD, WE GOT THIS:


A DISASTER INDEED, EVEN IN THE LATEST POLL:

When Hillary runs, she should pick Gore as her VP. Then he could run again for Prez after she's done. Al Gore, like Pres. Carter, is one of the good guys. What a difference it would've made if we'd had a good guy as prez.
On the other hand, Hillary smartest pick for VP would be her husband.
