Of note that I failed to mention was that this man was on Speaker’s Corner and nestled amongst a dozen others shouting and ranting their particular rendition of Truth. I spotted him immediately and was drawn in. He being the obvious and most sensible option for engagement.
Perhaps you meant as an adult? From my feeble memory, he was already a good person when elected. He divested the peanut farm when taking office (he honored the customs of office), he asked America to put on a sweater during an energy crisis and resisted religious meddling in politics. The hostages were used against him to get Reagan elected and it’s been downhill mostly since.
He was vilified for the things mentioned, the hostage debacle and probably other things that might be valid. I know he wasn’t perfect, but I admire that man for all he did in tough times. Can’t say I feel that way about any other president since. Carter was the type of man we were told to be (back then) in order to become president. How times have changed.
We had other version suited for the office. For example, “Nice tie!” meant “fuck off” or something. Still looking again for the specific one we used in IT 20 years ago.
