'Carterland' puts a positive spin on an oft-disparaged presidency
Briefly

The story usually goes about President Carter, 'Well, he's a nice guy and a good person, a great ex-president, but he's a failed president, who was never really able to rise to the challenges of his time.' That's the story we've been told, but it's all wrong.
In the year 2000, Carter predicted as he showed off the panels, 'the solar water heater behind me ... will still be here, supplying cheap, efficient energy.' It was not. The heater and the solar panels were all removed by President Ronald Reagan a few years later.
