I am a very big fan of President Gore.

Well gee whiz! A national politician actually got his hands in the muck of reality? Too bad he is not the president.

God Bless the legitimate President of the United States of America.  

I look forward to hearing him give one of his barn-burning speeches about this outrage in the near future.

Oh please, it is our worst nightmare. I thought that it could not get worse...

I have no more words. I'm going to turn to my artwork.

Bush knows he is not the president--he is only the pResident,sitting at will of his corporate masters.He is a weak, vengeful, bully, and like all bullies, he is a coward.

OMG! This breaks my heart for the lives that would have been saved with President Gore in charge.  Bless you, Al, bless you.

Gore's refusal to talk to the media says so much.  Clearly he is not there to give a press conference or to seek personal glory.  He just cares, and his actions speak for themselves.  If this man was president things would be so different... and so much better.  There needs to be a grass roots movement to urge him to run in 2008.

President Gore is a man for all seasons.

Thank you Al Gore. . .and thank you Susan for bringing us this story.

Did anyone see GMA on ABC this morning?  I wish I had the name of the woman, but a 35 year old woman, who is a dance teacher in Mississippi, couldn't stand it any more and organized, co-ordinated and is overseeing a rescue, and relief operation in Ms.  She has an all volunteer group of Dr's, nurses, and others able to offer help.  She runs a command center and has been able to get over 700 people taken care of and out of the damaged areas.  Said she just couldn't sit by and wait for the politicians to argue out and figure out who was responsible to do what while people were dying and needing help.

If we can find her name, we might want to direct some money her way.  Everything that is being done, she and the volunteers are bearing the expense for. . .and not complaining!!!

Maybe she will run for Vice Pres with Al Gore. . .or should.

Yes -indeed -step right up!I am trying to-----trying to help- but OMG if I was In LA I would be marchin people left and right

When I click at the Maryville, Tenn. Daily Times, I don't see the photo.

Was it there before, and now removed?

Please fill me in.  It is a curent photo from the rescue this week, correct?  I do note "AFP" on the pix. I would be happy to have the info or link. --  This story should travel!

Thanks, great, great diary !   (Maybe you should keep moving this story up near the top, instead of just linking to it from the top of the front page.)

Glad to hear a good story from this chaos.  And there's also no doubt given Gore's passion for the environment that the wetlands and such would have been protected if he had been allowed to take office, that the money for reinforcing/fixing the levee's would have been allocated instead of funding being continually cut these last few years.  No doubt in my mind.

So on Saturday sick people in those hospitals still had not been rescued by our fucken fearless Fema leader...wtf

Imagine what it would be like, if he was living in the Whitehouse for the last five years.  There would have been no WMD in Iraq, in 2002, that's for sure.  God bless Al Gore!

Plus, you have solved the mystery I have been asking about for the past few days.  I now know where    Cheney is.  Thanks so much!

It is time for Democrats to remember who got us in this mess, oppose them and not each other.

And he didn't put on a special outfit?

This must just kill the emperor.

Perhaps we should compare the stage-managed lies from the Bush White House with what poemless at EuroTrib says happened when Clinton and Gore visited Mississippi flooding 12 years back.

President Clinton and Al Gore came to assess the damage immediately.  

My father spent a whole day sandbagging with Gore.  

There was a National Guard truck on every street corner.  Probably more National Guard were in my area than are in the whole country at this point.

There was water, food and shelter for everyone.

Let me repreat that for anyone who missed it: "My father spent a whole day sandbagging with Gore."  Not five minutes for a picture opportunity.

Who should be the President?  My eyes are full of tears for the injustice that has struck the US.
