Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize, or The Difference Between Republicans And Democrats.

Congratulations to Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on winning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize!

Both Gore and Carter have now won Nobel Peace Prizes for their work. Not for work done in office, but for work done after their time as public officials had ended.

One could say of both men that they have accomplished more after leaving office than during their time as elected officials.

Both used the position of leader as a springboard to improve the human condition.

Republican presidents typically leave office and campaign for the Republican Party.

Interestingly, Republican Presidents are not well liked overseas. Democrats tend to play much better with the foreign audience.
