A Better Man, A Better President Currently our nation is having a hard time choosing whom to elect for our next President. There are certain issues, in my opinion, that point me towards Presidential Candidate Al Gore. Al Gore would make a promising President because of his background in politics, and I prefer his standing on education and abortion to the other possible contenders.

He had a great childhood and his parents taught him to be the best that he could be. In 1970 Gore was shipped to South Vietnam to serve his country. On the other hand George W.

Gore was always devoted to his country and this propelled [him] to the House of Representatives at 28 and the Senate at 36 and the hubris that made him a presidential candidate before he was 40(Minutaglio...
