Even Gore bragged about his influence on Internet. Here are Clinton's States of the Union addresses hyped up Internet. excerpts of 1997 address -- "Let's work together to meet these three goals: Every 8-year-old must be able to read; every 12-year-old must be able to log on to the INTERNET;..."

Now, we should connect every hospital to the INTERNET,..." "We must build the second generation of the INTERNET so that our leading universities and national laboratories can communicate in speeds 1,000 times faster than today,..." "But we cannot stop there. As the INTERNET becomes our new town square, a computer in every home..." excerpts of 1998 address -- " We must give parents the tools they need to help protect their children from inappropriate material on the Net, but we also must make sure that we protect the exploding, global commercial potential of the INTERNET..."
