Bush v. Gore.
What different paths the two men have taken since 2000.
Since winning a majority of american's votes in 2000, Gore has gone on to be Nobel Prize Laureate, an Academy Award winning movie maker, and Emmy award winning TV producer, best selling author, and one of the most respected Statesmen on the planet. Its getting hard to even remember when america and its leaders were widely respected in the world.
Bush = Iraq, Katrina, massive debt spending. Internationally one of the disliked and disrespected american leaders in history. Historically low approval domestically.

LONDON, Oct. 12 -- News of Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize was received with delight Monday across Europe, where President Bush is deeply unpopular, climate change is generally accepted as undisputed fact and the former vice president is widely seen as a welcome anti-Bush.
"He's the evidence that America is still capable of intelligent discourse," said Peter Kellner, who heads the British polling firm YouGov. According to Kellner, opinion polls show that British people generally admire America and Americans but strongly dislike Bush. He also said surveys routinely find that more than 80 percent of Britons agree with Gore that climate change exists and is man-made.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Gore "inspirational," and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he hoped Gore's honor would encourage world leaders to "approach this challenge even more swiftly and decisively."
John Noach, 69, a Dutch citizen who was sitting in a London Starbucks on Friday, said that in Europe, "most reasonable people" think of Gore as "a lifeline to sanity."
