We have no canals in Venezuela to hand over so this limits our diplomatic options.

LOL! I do't think anything turned me against Carter as much as losing the Panama Canal (and there was a LOT...no Olympics, malaise speech, gas prices, interest rates, Iran hostage crisis). I KNEW at the time it was a doofus move, and events have proved me (and I am certain millions of other Americans) to have been right about Carter. He is a MORON!

Can't we build them a couple of nuclear reactors?
