Though not American, I have always been interested in the American Political Process.
I am intrigued with the current Presidential Campaign that is underway.
Thus
Al Gore backs Obama for presidentis a headline that grabbed my attention. - In front of thousands of cheering supporters, Gore made his '08 election debut
- Gore: America cannot withstand another four years like the previous eight
- The Nobel Prize winner drew a connection between JFK and Obama
- Gore's support carries significant weight, analysts say.
The former vice president turned Nobel Prize winner playfully said he recalled
one Republican nominee wondering out loud
whether his Democratic rival for president was "naive and inexperienced." "And yet another said the United States cannot afford to risk the future of the free world with inexperience and immaturity in the White House," said Gore. "Who were they talking about? Every single one of those quotes came from the campaign of 1960,
when the the Republicans attacked
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
for allegedly lacking the age and experience necessary to be president."
Richard Nixon was the Republican nominee in 1960.
