Jimmy Carter.

I have no recollection of this, of course, but I remember his successor well. Many of my childhood memories involve my extremely liberal parents and their friends discussing Reagan.

I also went to school with two boys who had AIDS during the time of Ryan White. Both of them died in the early nineties and I always wonder if their lives would have been healthier and prolonged had the political climate been different. HIV and AIDS were reduced to a moral issue rather than a medical one and so many lives were lost because of it.
