I'm on the same boat as you.  Carter is pre-political consciousness for
me.  I didn't know that he comitted sin #1 for a US President: He let US
civilians die on foreign soil.  I only learned of it 2 years into college
in my poly sci class.  Doh!

Either way, I have nothing but the upmost respect for Carter.  His speech
was pointed and well delivered.  He commanded the audience and they loved
him for it.
