I don't think people remember Carter that often. He seems overlooked. He wasn't something enough for most people. He wore sweaters in the White House to encourage people to turn down their thermostats. He wasn't considered cool somehow. I really don't know exactly why. I guess you nailed it. Ask an American to drive their car slower while the lane is open. I was a kid when he was in office. I found him very calming. He would just talk. Sometimes Obama will slip and do that now. It must be some job being the president and still care about little things.
