I was 5 and living in San Diego. I started to hate him back then because his speeches would pre-empt my cartoons!
I was in college, and I remember when one of Carter's idiotic speeches interruped the PREMIER of the original
Battlestar Galactica series. Much cursing ensued at the student union building, and someone said words to the effect of "Where the ^%#@ is Lee Harvey Oswald when we really need him?" (The response was applause, helped, no doubt, by the consumption of adult BEvERages.)
That night they say a record was set in irate phone calls to the networks, the White House, and the Capitol switchboard.
