There were plenty of Americans that didn't vote for carter. As for the ones that did, do you really believe that they were voting for this duplicitous self-serving deceitful creature history is showing him to be, or a media creation?
Not everyone likes the decisions a President may make. But

If you look at the original exchange, there was a question as to whether it was the will of the Iranian people or the will of the U.S. As Carter represented the U.S., it was the will of the U.S., not the Iranian people.
I'm not saying everyone agreed with what Carter did.
