Jimmy Carter is certainly the most under-appreciated president in my lifetime...just as Ronald Reagan is the most OVER-appreciated (in fact, disagreement over Reagan largely led to a marital breakup for me, a wake up call about the priorities of my Reagan-supporting ex), Carter was the sort of honest and well-meaning president that Americans claim they want, but immediately start kicking to death as a "wimp". If a Kucinich or Dean were actually ever elected, I'm sure they'd be treated the same as Carter.

Never forget that one of Reagan's first acts as Pres was tearing the solar panels off the WH. |
