Apple CEO Steve Jobs has stated that Al Gore, an Apple board member and former US vice-president, would win the presidency if he ran for election.
"If he ran, there's no question in my mind that he would be elected," Jobs told Time magazine. "But I think there's a question in his mind, perhaps because the pain of the last election runs a lot deeper than he lets most of us see."
OPINION: APPLE ISN'T FUN ANY MORE
Gore has campaigned to persuade people to address the growing threat of climate change, which could cause environmental collapse.
"We have dug ourselves into a 20-foot hole, and we need somebody who knows how to build a ladder. Al's the guy," Jobs also told Newsweek. "Like many others, I have tried my best to convince him. So far, no luck."
Gore is known to be the Silicon Valley favourite for running for president on the Democratic ticket. Other Democratic hopefuls, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, don't seem to have captured the level of support among America's tech-industry elite.

How can a guy as smart as Jobs back a guy as stupid as Al Gore? Al's only claim to fame since he was beat by President Bush, is poluting peoples mind with the human caused global warming scam. Perhaps Al Gore has never heard that Mars is also warming and will lose it's polar icecap. Duh!
Terry Hill said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
I think Jobs has a loose screw in his brain if he thinks "Hoot" Al Gore would be elected President. Al, Hillary, and Barak should all run for president of some Island in the Pacific that only has room for their overstuffed egos.
Former Apple Employee said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
I respect Steve in many ways, but his choice to have Al Gore on Apple's board is NOT one of them. Al Gore is a raving lunatic and should be in a straight jacket. Steve should stay out of politics or resign from Apple -- the two do not mix.

What about John Sculley?
John Jacobs said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
I share Al Gore's opinion not to run until the current field of democratic candidates begin to fall apart, then he may step in to rescue, otherwise America is not the same when Al left it. Many things have changed including Hillary's running and America's image and Iraq. It's more complex than before, unless the opportunity to win is overwhelming.
DJH said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
IS this the same Al Gore who would like to completely devastate the US economy by signing the joke that is Kyoto? Even the former first philanderer wouldn't sign Kyoto, but ol' Al doesn't mind putting 2/3d of the country on unemployment due to business and factory closures as a result of Kyoto.
Or, maybe it's the same Al Gore who fielded a film chock full of inaccuracies, lies and blatant exaggerations to scare the American people into digressing lifestyles back to the stone age while he takes a caravan of 9 SUV's 500 feet from one building to the next. Is Jobs support Michael Moore or Al Gore?

I love Steve Jobs and Apple Computer but Jobs should stay out of politics and keep up the great work with computers. Algore should stick to his petty "human caused climate change" claim to fame. Global warming is as much of a joke as Algore. To Steve Jobs, "Please use some common sense with the nitwit."

If the best the left can offer is Al Gore, then they are showing their true desperation. Apparently, none of these fear mongers have heard of the term "climate cycle". There were periods in earth's history where the earth was MUCH warmer than it is now and we were not here to cause it!!!!! It is true that the US contributes 49% of the CO2 - but 49% of what. Of all the greenhouse gasses, CO2 is 3.6% of the total and man's input is 3.2% of the 3.6. Apparently, Al and Steve can't do simple math.

Jobs says "the pain of the last election runs a lot deeper than he lets most of us see." Say what? He hasn't shut up about it since. Job's is exhibit A for the proposition that brilliance in one area doesn't translate to brilliance in another. Why any successful businessman would advocate the party of socialism is beyond me, yet so many do. Go, as they say, figure.
Chris said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007

Julie said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Not only is Al Gore impressive and clear thinking and clear speaking, but many might feel that the nation owes him a debt. Many more people now believe that the nation was tricked and decieived in Gores original dis-election .
This administration has tricked and manipulated usabout 9-11 and Iraq and estabalished a devisive climate of fear , mistrust, and suspicion of the "other" in a a nation built on equality and tolerance.
Kurt said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007

Al Gore was put on Apple's board to give him the money to support his lifestyle and to paint him as the leader in a world cause. It had nothing at all to do with his ability to contribute to one of the leading companies in R&D. He has done absolutely nothing for Apple other than to demonstrate Keynote.
And where has it gotten Apple? Gore's global warming "sky is falling" crusade is falling apart. Parents are getting upset their children are being forced to watch a "documentary" they see as political and extremist. Will Apple eventually take the heat? Perhaps so.
Bill Vannice said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
I wonder if Steve has visited the list of lies that the gorecal has told as posted at William F. Buckley's Website, National Review online? I wonder if Steve would think Al is so smart if he knew that Al flunked out of law school, and left divinity school just before he flunked out. I wonder if Steve wonders why Al won't address strong evidence that tells us that Global Warmed is NOT caused by human beings? Al Gore is not very smart, and he's a documented pathological liar.
Sam said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Gee, I wonder why there's a deluge of shrill anti-Gore rants on this string? Could it be that it's linked to that bastion of impartiality, the Drudge Report? Nah, couldn't be.
Gore could not be worse than the current administration, even if he's %100 dead wrong about global warming. An autistic child could run this country better than the current cabal.
Jon said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Hey John Dyer,
Al Gore is wrong about the environment.
Gore is wrong about the global war on terror
Gore lost to Bush...get over it you panty waist liberal
Bush has killed most of the terrorists so they can't come over here to kill real Americans
Bush has brought this country back from the brink of bankruptcy under the clinton/gore regime.
Bush has instituted a real policy to keep muslims/arab terrorists from killing us real Americans.
Gore continues to pollute this worl with his 4 15,000 square foot homes and his fleet of gas guzzeling SUV's and his private jet charter flights. But thankfully he pays money (back to his own company) to "offset" those carbon credits. Liberals (like you) are so stupid it's not even funny. You people are scary.
Here is the truth:
There is NO global warming as prescribed by wack jobs like algore.
The environment is great
America is the best country in the world
Liberals sucks.

Al, is that you? Nobody but Al could think of Al as an incredible man. First off, he is wrong about the environment. The environment is far larger than man kind. We have damaged the environment but not nearly what the vice dork has claimed.
Secondly an idiot on the economy. In his bid for presidency, Gore said such stupid things like "I will create 10 million high-technology jobs" How does a president create jobs? Especially when he said he would decrease the size of government... was he going to hire 10 million people himself?
Brady said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Jobs can endorse a socialist-policy-wonk like Gore because, although Jobs is a businessman, he is so rich that he is untouchable by any policy.
Gore wants us to live in cold, dark caves and ride bicycles, while he sucks down more energy than 20 average USA families (or 100 world-average families). It may be an ad hominem attack, but that is the definition of a hypocrite.

You and Al eat up more resources that a small town in the US.
I love my Mac but, thinking Gore is on the board bugs me. Now? Jobs is making me feel like I'm in bed with him and Al. Ugh.

Jobs supports Gore because Gore looked the other way and absolved Jobs of any wrong doing in the options back dating scandal. Corporate ownership of America at its best. America is blind to how the Democrats are selling us out, just like the Republicans. Weren't they supposed to fight for the average man, not sell him out throught HBV1 visa and legalizing 20 million illegal aliens for corporate America. Quid pro quo at its best.

Morgan, who is Glen Beck? What Exxon scientists are you talking about? You mean the ones that formulate fuel additives, or the ones that figure out how to filter out the oil from "oil shale"? These scientists have jobs and income, they don't need to lie. They could just jump on the GW bandwagon and get money from concerned citizens that have been blinded by scare tactics. There are scientists out there that claim making gold from lead, free energy (perpetual motion), etc. Why? Because a fool is born every minute. Also most scientists are ADHD(many probably don't know they are), quick to judge, are impulsive, easily emotionally bruised, are arrogant, anything out of the ordinary is to difficult and so when something like this happens and they have made a mistake, they will lie like a classic casebook adder till they are found out that they were full of bs.

Well I was going to purchase an Apple and iPod but when Jobs praises Al Gore, then I have to question the quality of the product. What is the old saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree (no pun intended).
Ben said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Actually, I'm not surprizes by Jobs' support of Gore. Jobs is a "control freak" and Gore is similarly like minded.
While Jobs created a a computer that was superior to the PC, he failed to license the product so as to allow other innovators to expand and develop the system, which would have led to a wider accessory base and lower costs. The result, Macs are less than 10% of the computing market. D'oh!
Meanwhile, regarding the 2000 presidential election, this is a question that has NEVER been answered.... If 532 votes is insufficient to legitimize the Bush presidency, how many votes would Gore have needed to legitimize his presidency?
I'm sure just 1 more Florida vote for Gore than Bush would have been sufficient to override all questions of voter fraud, intimidation or disenfranchisement. Meanwhile, the people who knew Gore best (his "home" state of Tennessee) didn't give Gore their Electoral votes.

Bad spelling or not, the points are valid. Gore did nothing for the economy, he has no reasonable plan for the economy. He is doing nothing about the environment and besides telling all of us to change our lives, he has no plan to do anything about the environment.
Al Gore has done nothing good for the country and if president, he would only make matters worse than they are under the current disasterous administration. I'm neither Democrate nor Republican but I would rather see Hillary as president before I see Al there.

If Jobs was really as smart as he thinks he is, he should stay out of politics. Promoting AlGore for President will annoy most of the country; ie, potential Apple customers.

No need to worry about facts, just push Steve's agenda.

I know Steve Jobs came from very little means to become a success in industry, advertising, and technological mastery. The American dream actually happened to Steve Jobs which is why I'm shocked he would support a socialist for President. It is simply a lack of wisdom and understanding on the part of Mr. Jobs.

Those that actually have a spine and refuse to regurgitate exactly what Karl Rove and Dick Cheney want you to are the innovative "Apple" cool cutting edge leaders of tomorrow.
Neo-conservatism died the moment we embraced a supposed "Compassionate Conservative Agenda".
And for all of you that say that I am some left-wing liberal, you're wrong. I was actually an intern for the Bush Cheney campaign in Austin, Texas and for numerous other very conservative Republicans in Texas that have seemed to let their moral indignation guide their policy with an ignorance reminiscent of the Third Reich.

Mainly I got tired of feeling sorry for people and doing nothing about it.

Get a life and stop bashing Jobs for not only chasing the bottom line, but for taking some responsibility to protect the environment in which the American dream gets obtained. Apparently you are all too short-sighted and selfish to realize that sure freedom isn't free, it takes some insight beyond blind idealist conservative bigotry. All these short-sighted arguments that gore is a threat to the free-market will sound real smart when wall street is flooded with runoff from the ice-caps.

I'll bet most of the believers in the religion of global warming don't even know that water vapor is, by far, the leading contributor to the greenhouse effect. Carbon credits? Just another way to transfer wealth.
No Apple products for me, either.

I find it humorous that every single response from the left (save for a few) are no more than attacks, no facts, nothing.
95% of climatologists do not support Gore's theory, this a blatant fallacy and its been proven time and again that legitimate climatologists who disagree with Gore (and there are far more than 5%) have had funding cut, their jobs threatened and have had their reputations tarnished and questioned.
The vast majority of the American people reside in the center, not right and certainly not left and the vast majority, while they are concerned with Global Warming (which has yet to be proven as man made - FACT!) do not support Gore's view of it.
When you get your news from DU.com or KOS you tend to be extremely misinformed. And before you go screaming FAUXNEWS or Savage or Limbaugh don't bother, I don't watch or listen to any of them. I'm a centrist and I don't subscribe to the ridiculous notions of the left or the right.

Patrick - you might want to do a little checking on Kyoto there buddy. Name a sinlge sector that wouldn't be devastated by Kyoto, particularly manufacturing. 2/3ds might be a slight exaggeration, but not by much. You'll also notice, if you bother to check, that Kyoto would impact the US negatively far more than any other nation leaving us vulnerable to the likes of China et al.
When you liberals can stick to the facts instead of your ridiculous emotion based arguements then we can actually start a rational discussion.

I hope Al Gore runs...all the republicans will have to run as campaign ads will be Al's old speeches 1998 thru 2000 election about Saddam and how to deal with him....along with Bill, Aunt Bea, Sen. Kerry, etc. Those speeches are 100% in contrast to what he is saying in his new book "Attack on Bush.

Jobs is a smart guy, but smart guys can be pretty dumb when they leave their area of expertise - and the problem seems to get worse the more specialized one's expertise is (hence much of the mind numbing idiocy excreted by the academic world).
Nevertheless, he's entitled to his opinion, loopy as it may be. It's a free country.
"Parents are getting upset their children are being forced to watch a "documentary" they see as political and extremist"
I'm not sure that's as much of a problem as you think. A lot of American skepticism about AGW stems from the relentless propaganda in schools during the 70's about how we were causing a new ice age by burning fossil fuels. Overreach can backfire.

SURE, Global Warming is REAL, but look to Blame the SUN and the working of the Inner Earth in the form of Volcanic activity for the REAL Reasons for it.
This Crap of Blaming Humans SOLEY is crap, and then his recent assertions that manking if Destroying the Balance of the Universe?!?!?!

"Not only is Al Gore impressive and clear thinking and clear speaking, but many might feel that the nation owes him a debt. Many more people now believe that the nation was tricked and decieived in Gores original dis-election ."
You're an idiot. Every independent re-count came to the same conclusion: Bush would've won Florida, no matter how many recounts, and how much whining from the left. When you produce one -- EVEN ONE -- independent recount, then you have some right to say what you just said. Bush didn't "trick" anyone in the election, you twit. You won. Whether that was good or bad is another story, but he won, and the far left's constant whining on the subject is just childish and pathetic.

What a laugh riot.

I agree with Steve Jobs. If Al Gore decides to run, he will win. Look at how, over the past two years, he has carefully marketed himself and his message. It's pure genious. Whether you agree with him or now, Gore has grown into someone who is more comfortable with himself, calling on his common sense and intellect. He has emerged as a rock star to many...he would rocket to the top of the list if he declared, and would win.

As much as I admire dissent, Gore's position on global warming does reflect the scientific consensus from Caltech to Stanford to Harvard and MIT. This consensus is based on published research and not armchair opinions, and in my opinion should be used to set policy. I am not worried about Gore. From everything we know about Bush, a flock of geese could provide better leadership, a more perceptive intelligence, and more passable oratory skills.

Once a person denies that Human activity has in some part caused global temperatures anything else they might have to say no matter how intelligent is nullified. Denial of this fact only demonstrates the persons complete and utter misunderstanding of anything scientific. To compare earth to Mars borders on insanity in fact it is insane (Phil).
Al Gore would probably make a pretty good president, I predict our relatiosn with the rest of the world would improve by a factor of 10. I venture to say that measures would be put in place to push alternative fuels and to improve efficiency in the way fuel is currently used. Education spending would probably increase, which judging by some of these responses is something the America critically needs.

He is wrong on global warming, wrong on the economy, wrong on taxes etc. He is a lying hypocrite. His carbon offsets are a fraud. He is a flim flam man who owns four mansions.
He didn't see anything wrong with Jobs backdating stock options. He is either not very bright or he doesn't mind Jobs stealing from other shareholders.

Gore, McCain, Obama, Rudy, it does not matter. Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, detaining protesters, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and reverse these trends.

Of course Gore can build a ladder. He created the internet didn't he. Oh...nevermind.

"George W. Bush is far less dangerous to the world and humanity, than the ignorance and socialist "values" that you and your left-leaning ilk peddle and propagate."
Agree 100%. Bush has only run up a gigantic deficit, ignored the border situation for 7 years and mismanaged the Iraq war from day 1 unlike his socialist predec.. erm...NO SOCIALIST HAVE EVER HAD SO MUCH AS A CLEANING JOB IN WASHINGTON DC YOU CLOWN. Clinton, Obama, Gore, Carter etc, would all be tories in the UK. Let me name some social democrats for you: Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jens Stoltenberg, Yitzak Rabin...all 10 times as competent as GWB.

Like most absurdly rich people, Jobs feels a little guilty exploiting cheap/prison labor from China while their plastic foundries spew tons of pollution in order to make iPods. It's the same syndrome Leanardo Di Caprio and Laurie David suffer from. I pity him

Of course Silicon Valley would 'support' Al Bore; after all he DID invent the INTERNET!
Jim said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Gore? He had his chance and he blew it. The man is not the leader this country needs.
Bill said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Al Gore is the worm in the Apple. Steve Jobs needs to keep his nose out of politics, at least publicly - as his comments may alienate potential customers and hurt Apple's sales.
Al Gore would not win - his comments about this country in Africa, along with some of his other panderings should serve to scare off anyone with more than a 5th grade education.

While I love and respect my Fuhrer in all things, Al Gore doesn't have the intelligence that God bestowed on common bacteria. A Gore presidency would bring about the end of the world by some kind of nuclear terrorist act the likes of which we have yet to see.

It shouldn't be too much longer before you get links to UFO pictures, Crop Circles, and Elvis sightings when you Google "Global Warming".

I know many of you are wondering how much energy and pollution the factories in China are consuming and creating to make the products Apple sells (which I am proud to say I am the first robot to ever sit on their board). I do not need to even answer this question. The only thing that matters in the War on Global Warming is that every other planet polluting, self loathing, carbon dioxide producing, scumbag human being has to do is change. As long as the rest of my fellow Elitist Libs are not affected, the earth will be a better place for some of us.

Thank God we live in a democracy. Who cares what you think, Steve? Or Alec Baldwin, or Paris Hilton...as nauseum. Use your wealth to help the world if you wish, but other than that we do not want to hear it.

Al Gore is a lunatic and if Steve Jobs can't see that then he should stick to computers -- which appears to within his range of observation.
David said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Oh good. Another reminder of why I've never used any of Apple's overpriced, overrated junk and never will. Hey Steve, explain to me how you build a ladder when, you know, you're stuck at the bottom of a hole! It doesn't surprise me that he would display such stupidity and then turn around and recommend an imbecile like Al Gore for president.
Of course, I'm sure that his preferred choice for president has nothing to do with the fact that that person sits on the board for Apple. Yep. No conflict of interest there.

I always knew Jobs was an idiot.
Purger said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Is this the same Al Gore that when he ran for president during 2000 he lost his home state, Tennessee, and his home county in Tennessee?
Perhaps the people in Tennessee, including the people in Al Gore's home county in Tennessee know something about him that Steve Jobs does not know.
Is this the same Al Gore that invented the Internet?
Steve, its time to sniff the apples, not Al Gore.

Evan,
Denouncing the leftist boilerplate diatribe of "Bush = Hitler" or "Bush administration = third reich" is not a vote of confidence in GWB, or a pronouncement of his competency.
Such comparisons are dangerous, as they greatly minimize and trivialize The Holocaust. ANYONE that can seriously make a comparison between GWB and hitler, is either ignorant, stupid, or an anti-Semite.
By the way, calling me a clown was uncalled for. It amazes me how any kind of respect or common decency is thrown out the door in these forums. The relative anonymity of the internet certainly affords one the ability to bravely name-call and talk tough.

MAYBE GORE FLOATED JOBS SOME DUMB-ASS, BIG-GOV IDEA TO WASTE TAX MONEY LIKE BUYING AN IPOD FOR EVERY KINDERGARDENER. MAYBE JOBS ISNT THE LUNATIC THIS STATEMENT MAKES HIM OUT TO BE.
Jim said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Just when I was going to drink the apple kool-aid, Jobs comes up with a stupid idea that Al should run.
I'm dumping the kool-aid
rick said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
I guess Jobs believes Al Gores claim of inventing the internet. Explains alot.
Not an Apple Customer said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Is Steve Jobs sitting in on the Board of the carbon neutral investment SCAM Algorical created? That would be interesting...
Algorical is competing with the SUN on who can burn more energy, yet he is going to rip-off a bunch of middle class Americans who actually think they are doing something by investing in carbon neutrality. How low can this loser go?

Gene...your comments:
"I think he would win and make the changes needed to back away from empire America and toward saving our home the Earth"...
is why America, AS A WHOLE, let out a sigh of relief that Gore was NOT president on 9/11.
It also verifies what everyone including terrorists knows. Democrats do not care if America is called the Empire of China in 50 years. You and your ilk have the same goals as our enemies...put America in a corner and have the world kick us.
The rest of us have no problem with the following phrase "The United States of America is the ONLY Superpower!"
Hate Terrorists….not America!
Tex from deep south said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Its all about dollars and not about anything else.
If Gore wins, Jobs win and they both make more money. They like the rest of the rat race can never get enough money.
Everything else on both sides of the political football comes in second to making dollars or Euros as the case may be. :-)

Well since Al Gore invented the internet Steve Jobs is still trying to get the inside track on that away from Microsoft. That is Steve Jobs thinking, but remember Al Gore was born 9 months to the day after the Roswell incident also. More illegal aliens to vote for him!

All the lefty nutters that support global warming must have no respect for mother nature. The world has been around for over 2 billion years and has survived meteor strikes, Global cooling, global warming, nuclear blasts, volcanic eruptions, and all the other natural disasters. I think the nutters are on a really high horse to think that us puny pathetic humans can actually impact mother earth! In all due respect, we are very insignificant in the scheme of things.
Al Gore is nothing more than a liberal-limousine- hypocrite-nutter that pisses away more energy than the majority of Americans and yet has the audacity to tell Americans how to be 'green' -- give me a freakin break!
Gary said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
From what I have read about Steve Jobs (from his book), he sounded like a maniacal megalomaniac.
After reading this I believe he is a certified fruitcake that has completely lost touch too.

Steve Jobs ought to stick to computers and stay away from men like Al Gore!

Thought Jobs was smarter than that! Gore is an opportunist and simply takes credit for others' work. Invented the internet too, remember?
Choddy said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Al Gore is a brilliant man and should be our leader. He is on the forfront of global warming and should be in a position to dictate environmental mandates. It is the only way to save our planet. Yes it is our planet too, right wingers!!! Not just yours to destroy.
Let's appoint Gore in 2008 like Bush was appointed in 2000 and find true peace in this world and NO MORE WARS! Save the planet. Steve Jobs is a brillant man and far more superior to all the right wingers that have posted here. He knows better. You just can't accept it.
Champsummers said on Wednesday, 23 May 2007
Dear Steve,
I love ya man but; what a stupid comment. Al Gore needs to grow his beard, put on the plaid shirt, and go into the forest and lose himself.

And gentlemen... let us not forget that this man (Al Gore) is also he who claims to have invented the Internet!!
Perhaps it is because of this grand achievement of his that Mr. Jobs has a soft spot for him.
