Remembering President Jimmy Carter (Part I)

So if we can convince both sides or let them convince themselves that they can win if the election is honest and that I can help guarantee that the election will be honest, they see a way to become president of that nation without continuing the war on the battlefield. So that is the kind of thing that I see very clearly now, which I did not understand at all, even when I was president.

Well, I don't remember any low points. The high point obviously was was assuming the role of president of the greatest nation on earth and trying to keep a secret. We had planned a few days ahead of time to get out of the limousine for the first time in history and walk down Pennsylvania Avenue as just one of a people.

And that secret was kept, one of the few secrets, by the way, that we kept while I was president. And it was a glorious reception. The weather was cold. I remember... that my mother, who always knew how to take the starch out of people's sails and bring people back down to earth, I was very full of myself.

And when we left the reviewing stand and started to walk to the White House for the first time, really, the news media gathered around us. And my press secretary, Judy Powell, said, don't anybody talk to the news media. Everybody wants to have an interview. And I complied with Jody's request, but typically my mother said, Jody, you can go to hell, I'll talk to whom I choose.

And the TV folks and everybody got around, and they said, Miss Lillian, aren't you proud of your son? And I waited with great pleasure to hear my mother's response, and Mama said, which one? So she took the wind out of my sails. That's one of the things I remember about Inauguration Day.

The aura of the White House and the humility that you feel occupying the same quarters as those great men was overwhelming. Also, what do you do the next day? I had pretty well gotten my cabinet firmed up quite early after the election, and what do you do the next day to deal with a multitude of issues? I had a very fine agenda. I couldn't get much support.
