EDIT:

From wikipedia:
During his campaign, Carter was mocked for an encounter with a rabbit while fishing on a farm pond. A swimming swamp rabbit, perhaps ill or fleeing from a predator, attempted to board the President's small boat. Carter shooed the creature away with his paddle. Several months later, Carter's Press Secretary Jody Powell mentioned what he viewed as a "mildly amusing incident" to reporter Brooks Jackson over tea. Shortly thereafter, the story appeared on the front page of The Washington Post and was reported on the evening news of all the major television networks. Some Americans viewed Carter's action regarding the rabbit as a sign of his growing frustration over his inability to deal with the American energy crisis, growing stagflation and the Iranian hostage situation.
