In 2000 we elected a man who spoke english like it was his second language instead of a man who spoke it to us like it was our second language.

Now I like Al Gore, and I voted for him, but there is something about his speech and mannerisms that make me feel uncomfortable. I don't think he plays well to a camera, and I'll bet he is a lot more likeable in person.
