I am really grateful we didn’t elect a weakling like Al Gore in 2000.
Yeah, yeah…. I’m a hard-core right-wing Nazi. I’ll say it first so you don’t have to.
Gore had one vision in his life, and would do anything necessary to attain it–the Presidency. Really, I almost feel sad for him. He endured many abuses in the Clinton White House, and always remained loyal to Bill. But it wasn’t out of a sense that Clinton deserved that loyalty, only that Clinton’s support was important to him in his person quest.
Disagree? Well, Gore certainly didn’t welcome Clinton to campaign with him. They are not socially active together. In fact, the only time I’ve seen them together was during the opening of Clinton’s library.
Whether standing up to Clinton would have been the right thing to do relative to Gore’s presidential ambitions is debatable. He certainly would have had a better legacy. I am really grateful we didn’t elect a weakling like Al Gore in 2000.
