For me it was Carter and the 444 days that engrossed the US at the time. I think the actual point it hit me was when the Delta Force chopper crashed in the desert, part of the elaborate and failed rescue attempt of Carter who basically was milquetoast up to that point and then became a laughing stock milquetoast. It's at that particular point I started to dislike the man and continue to this day after finding out more about him both in office and out.
Actually, I think Carter was a good man and a real Christian (there aren't many, not really), but didn't have the balls to play international hardball. Maybe he was too good and kind.
Kind of like the current POTUS, actually.
and the economic woes he was blamed for were really the result of OPEC manipulating the cost of oil more than anything else.
