What modern candidate deserved/s to be president?

[ATFFL]

All that matters is we know that Al Gore invented pants.  That is something I learned from the Snickers commercial four years ago.  Seeing as I am anti-pants for women, and Gore invented them, I could not vote for him.

I'd like to say Gore because I feel so bad for him

Yeah well atleast invented the internet, ya know?

Hmm how ironic. Thats PRECISELY the reason I feel sorry for him. He's the butt of that ENDLESS joke.

p.s. if you read al franken's book, the phrase "invented the internet" came from a GOP press release, they were never uttered from Al Gore's mouth.

Something along the lines of "While in Congress, I [Gore] took the initiative in inventing the internet." I think you get what he was saying.

Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy (and self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or implemented it), but that he was responsible for helping to create  the environment (in an economic and legislative sense) that fostered the development of the Internet.

The point was that his comments were, as you said, self-serving.

Usually, Keystone, when people campaign for President, they try to make themselves look good so people will vote for them.

Well I think making yourself look good and claiming what Gore claimed are two very different things, Akno.

All of those guys were bad candidates!

I personally like Dole, but I think Clinton was a good president as far as domestic policy was concerned(foreign policy is a different matter).
