"I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. 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."

That's what I read from Wikipedia, I do not really see how this changes the statement.

Definitively a poor choice of words. What he really meant was "I funded ARPANET, the basis for the Internet"

Better, but still a bit shaky. Probabl 'I refunded Arpanet...' (in 1991 Gore Bill). Arpanet was started in 1966, and he is not that old. It is clear Gore was an important supporter of the expansion of the internet, but it is hard to put it in a catchphrase with doesnt sound like 'first I created heaven and earth...'
