Happy birthday to Al Gore!
Gore served as vice president under Bill Clinton for eight years then ran for president in 2000. He won the majority of votes, but not the majority of electoral votes, leading to the presidency of George W. Bush, one of the most turbulent and controversial two-term presidencies in American history. In 2006, half-way through Bush's second term, he went on to create An Inconvenient Truth, the catalyst of the environmental movement in the 21st century. Republican or Democrat, love him or hate him, you've got to admit, he is the father of modern environmentalism. Happy birthday!
