I would never equate "Southerners with simpleton attributes" in order to criticize Jimmy Carter because I was watching Bill Clinton's performance during his 8 years in office. :-) I remember ol' Jimmy too, though I would call him a pessimist, not a pragmatist, and pessimism is a lousy atttitude for the leader of the free world. FDR had a lot more and bigger problems to wrestle with than Jimmy Carter did, and FDR never talked about "malaise." Carter was (and is) personally very ethical, but he wasn't an effective politician at the national level. He should have stuck to engineering. And wasn't it under Carter that the decision was made to gut the overseas bureaus of CIA personnel, relying mostly on satellite transmission for intelligence?
