Barack Obama on his relationship with Al Gore

"I would. Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now."

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as quoted on April 2, 2008 in an Associated Press article published by Yahoo News when asked if he would give Al Gore, a major role in his cabinet, if elected president.
