Here is the exact quote from Al Gore.

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."

Does that sound like he's saying he invented the Internet? It doesn't to me either.
