I remember looking at him as a hero. He was kind, caring and concerned about all of us.<BR/><BR/>I guess you could say, he was a "grandpa" type in the white house. I have not felt the same about any President since. <BR/><BR/>I remember his final speech, when he conceeded the loss to Regan. His words "I told you I would never lie to you and I'm not going to lie now - it hurts." are something I have heard played again and again in my mind. <BR/><BR/>I personally, think a big mistake was made by the people, when they pulled him out. <BR/><BR/>I hated how Regan got the credit for the hostages being released, when Carter clearly did all the foot work to make that deal a go.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder - I think he is a great man.Dedicatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13253101883627114010noreply@blogger.com
