Jimmy Carter actually said...

"It is time for responsible national leaders in the Congress and elsewhere to forget about extending controls or taking away my power to begin phased decontrol."

"I pray that we will never again have to defend our freedoms in battle with the shedding of blood."

"I'm committed to making sure that all the people—within our borders, no matter how they may have gotten here, are treated always with dignity and with justice."

"There are simply no easy answers—no answers that do not involve higher costs for energy and using less energy."
