All of those things would have happened, but Obama most likely would not have been elected, and likely, Gore wouldn't either, we have never has 3 straight presidents of one party, and the second hardly lasts 2 full terms (truman, LBJ, Bush I, ect.)
Of course it would have. It had been in the planning stages since at least 1998.

Why would things be different?

No.
Unless you're trained and educated in logistics for war or disaster management, you could not possibly render an opinion; only an unqualified belief.

Clinton demanded, and got, stiffer regulations for the CRA in 1995 (enacted in 1977) that created the housing bubble. For the lenders, it was either come up with creative ways to finance mortgages using CDOs and SIVs to be in compliance with the regulations, or get prosecuted by the federal government and have your financial institution's name smeared in the Media as being "racist."
For the record there were 12 terrorist attacks under Bush..no, make that 13, I forgot we're now counting failed attacks so have to put the shoe bomber in there. No way in hell would the right, or anybody for that matter, be crowing about how Gore or Kerry "kept us safe"

Katrina would NOT have happened. We would have been living in mud huts by then thus reducing our carbon footprint which would magically have stopped the hurricane from ever forming. See it is all Bush's fault after all. You just have to think like a left handed lunatic to get it all to make complete sense though.
Doubtful. Gore would have taken Clinton's intelligence reports seriously that Bin Laden was planning a terror attack, and stopped it before it happened. Unlike W that couldn't care less, he was busy doing what he did best, he was on vacation.
9/11 never would have happened, so there never would have been a reason to invade Afghanistan let alone the false war in Iraq.
Absolutely. Gore would have had all hands on deck after Katrina, not ignore them for about a week like W did.
Not at all, the economy would continue to soar like it did under Clinton. If Gore had his 8 years in office, we would be well on our way to being debt-free by now.
The sheer ignorance and utter disregard for the truth in this post is absolutely remarkable.

As usual the extreme right has nothing to add to the conversation nor can handle the truth. All they can resort to is their childish brainwashed personal attacks.
I have one more statement to make in reply to Tempest...

First of all, that statement is itself a childish personal attack. Only a child would discount the opinion of another so completely as to reduce that person to being "brainwashed."

So, like I said, the hypocrisy is astounding.
