The problem with Carter was his personality as a leader. What kind of a leader urges you to turn the heat down and dress like an eskimo in the winter to reduce our energy independence? Goes on TV and tells Americans our special time in the sun, when we had the only intact industrial base following WWII was over, and we'd all just have to get used to less? Combine that with "Day xxx of the Iranian hostage crisis" and Carter just seemed like a weak, pathetic loser.

It may have all been true, but America and I didn't want to hear it from my president. I didn't vote in the Reagan/Carter election, the only one I've sat out.

Until W, I regarded him as the worst president of my lifetime.
