Jimmy Carter actually said...

I want the American people to understand my character, my weaknesses, the kind of person I am.

I think the public at large does not yet realize that what we confront is not just New York City's fiscal crisis, but a national problem.

I pledge to you that if I become President, you, the mayors of America, will have a friend, an ally, and a partner in the White House.

Today, America's No. 1 economic problem is our cities.
