He was a lousy President, but certainly would not wish this diagnosis on anybody. I will pray for him.
One thing about Carter was that if it weren’t for the Iranian hostage crisis and the poor way he dealt with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, he stood a chance to get a second term as President. Already, he had shown signs of turning increasing conservative by 1980, especially with the ending of price controls on petroleum and an increased defense budget.
He was a lousy president—but I always thought he was a nice man.
Maybe not the brightest bulb in the box—but compared to what we have now, I’d take Carter back any day—LOL! Maybe even Richard Nixon-——
