Do you think the US would have been better off if Al Gore had won the election?

I always here people say they wish he had won, but would we be better off? I think he is half nuts personally, and I will never critisize any president because I haven’t done that job myself. Everyone always blames the president for everything bad, and never gives credit for good things. He doesn’t run this country alone, nor does he make important decisions without alot of other peoples input. The president had to listen to congress, senate, and everyone, and hope they will go his way. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I get irritated when people make it sound like every bad thing this country does or doesn’t do is completely his fault alone. I know he is the figurehead, but he doesn’t work alone. All that said, where do you think we would be if Gore was President and we still had gone through Sept. 11th? Where would we be economy wise, etc. Don’t hold back, and let er rip.
