Who is your favorite one-term president? I would say JFK, but being that he never finished his term, I'd have to say Carter.
I was too young to even know that years were counted but he has done so many amazing things since leaving office. He's an inspiration! Plus, solar panels. If the country had only followed his lead....

to mention he brought back registration for Selective Service, which I have always hated and is infringing on my liberty. Other than that though, I have no 'beef' with Carter. He's cool.
