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...'
