I was 16 and had just gotten my driver’s license when Carter was in office. No gasoline, and if you could get any of course it had to go in Dad’s car so he could get to work. No trips to the mall or joyriding with my girlfriends. Boooo!
Tell me THAT didn’t leave an impression at my impressionable age! I’m nearly 50 and it STILL p*sses me off! I was hoping to enjoy a perk and right of passage as a teen (I earned it; had to have straight A’s in school or Dad said, No dice!”) and Carter screwed it up for me, LOL!
Stupid Socialist...
Great story about the Carter years.
They were incredibly lame.
It took Reagan to straighten things out.
Hopefully someone equally capable will follow B. Hussein Obama
