My guess is that the media "pointed out" every night that it was CARTER'S fault. THey would NEVER point a finger at the two OIL MEN in the current White House--wouldn't be prudent. The media is in sooooo deep with these guys. I can't believe that John Q Public hasn't come to that conclusion on their own---is America THAT stupid?
