During a stopover at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, President and Mrs. Carter viewed, for the first time, the exhibit "Jimmy Carter: Georgia's Native Son." The Carters met with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and airport officials and enlightened a growing crowd with personal memories and behind the scenes insights.

The large exhibit flanks both sides of the corridor between Security and Concourse T and is packed with rare photos, art, and artifacts giving viewers a snapshot of President Carter's life as a peanut farmer, a romantic, a politician, a president, a humanitarian, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. The exhibit runs through July 2011.

We are about to have serious issue with energy.
