My favorite Carterisms:

• Boycotting the Olympics to protest the invasion of Afghanistan. Screwed our athletes and cheapened the medals awarded there. Symbolism where substance was needed. USSR returned the favor, screwing another generation of athletes.
• Turning down the thermostats to save energy. In my college classroom, this meant the air conditioning kicked on in the dead of winter.
• His energy secretary telling us to ride bikes to work to solve the energy shortage. I worked 30 miles from my home.
• Managing the White House tennis courts.
• Giving away the Panama Canal after US taxpayers bought all the land and paid for the construction.

He and Ronnie between them changed me from a Nixon-hating Democrat to a Republican.

I remember his "strong letter" to the Soviets for invading Afghanistan. I'm suprised Gorby and the rest of the Kremlin boys didn't die laughing.
