As Cyn has stated, our remembrances of the Carter Administration begin and end with long lines at the gas pumps, American hostages in the Middle East, the economical disasters, including but not limited to inflation, rising interest rates on credit and falling interest rates on savings(political opinions state he almost cost us the COld War with that stuff), increasing taxes to cover Social Security funding and witnessing a UFO. It's common knowledge that he won the presidency, not on his strengths alone, but because of the disgrace of Nixon and Ford's decision to pardon him. His weaknesses, including the inability to bring home the hostages, were why he didn't get a second term.
I find it ironic, by the way, that this man who also claims and is seen to be a staunch environmentalist, started a fertilizer business back when he was also a 'peanut farmer'.
