I wish we could put stars on the threads. It really was PERFECT.
Well, you just enlightened a naive kid. Why am I not surprised? I guess I really should read my own time history, eh? Thing is, I was reading Time and Newsweek...why was it blamed on Carter?
Carter, a democrat, was big into energy efficiency. He tried to make short sleeve business suits a thing. He turned down the heat and wore sweaters in the White House. Unlike Obama, he at least walked the walk, not just talked the talk. Almost everyone I talk to who remember the Drive 55 disaster believe that Carter did it. I don’t enlighten them.
