Jimmy Carter actually said...

"A President is responsible for the future of this country."

"It's absolutely crucial in these troubled times, when overseas oil supplies are uncertain and their price is rapidly escalating, for us to be energy-secure here in the United States."

"We need to look to the future, to have confidence in the greatness of our country, pull ourselves together in a spirit of unity and conviction and also anticipation and hope."

"We must have economic health, with new jobs, new opportunities for American workers to remain the most productive on Earth."
