I was looking for that.

I'll tell you an odd story, I have been searching for the latest Al Gore videos on youtube in the hopes of finding the entire speech. All day and until now there were NO recent posts. I couldn't believe that, so I poked around a bit more. Finally, I found this. Now about 5 different videos show up of the Nobel ceremony, but 3 of them can't be embedded. It's wierd.

Oh well, I love this man and I LOVE this speech.

ON EDIT: I noticed that Youtube will be down for maintenance tonight. Maybe tht's why it is running so slow and not showing the latest Gore videos when I search for them.

10. YouTube is limited to 10 minutes and 100 mb
so it would be difficult to post the entire video there.

I'm also not sure how to lift this from the Nobel site to post anywhere else, like Google Video, where you can post longer pieces.

13. Yes, it definitely was.
I so want him to be president (well, he is president, but he was never inaugurated).

8. Dear Mods- When the FULL speech becomes available on YouTube PLEASE delete this teaser of a clip!
The speech in it entirety MUST be experienced- Beautiful, absolute Gore at his finest.

14. I don't think the entire thing will ever be at YouTube
unless it's broken into pieces. It's too long.
