Although the issues did not originate completely with Carter, the issues Carter faced helped show the shift in rhetoric in America. An important issue that helped change the rhetoric was the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC for short, embargo in the years 1973-1974. This issue arose during the Presidency of Gerald Ford and was an issue that outraged the nation.
