The Carters spent just four years in the White House during troubled times and almost four decades out of it redefining what a former president and first lady can accomplish.
Jimmy Carter was president from 1977 to 1981 and he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work. They have broken every record: Jimmy Carter, 95, is the oldest living American president and he and Rosalynn have the longest presidential marriage in history. They celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on July 7, 2019. They have been married longer than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have been alive. (George W. Bush was born the day before they got married.)
Up until 2014 Rosalynn Carter went to Africa with her husband a couple of times each year. Rosalynn Carter got emotional when she talked with me about visiting a village where guinea worm, a debilitating disease that in 1986 afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in Asia and Africa, had been eradicated. There were only 28 cases in 2018 because of the work of the Carter Center.

I don’t think I ever heard the word “malaise” until Carter came along.
Purposefully communist masked as serendipitous country humanitarian hero?
The man who gave terrorists a country.
Lenin, Stalin and Pol Pot lived simple lives too.
Castro pretended to live a simple life..but in reality..not so much.
I waited in gas lines in 1973 when I got our of the Army, too. I remember the Misery Index.
Obama did everything intentionally to hurt America. Obama had an ongoing agenda of killing America by a thousand cuts.
Yes, Carter was crap.
Sorry, I won’t go along with you, though.
I agree with you. But his brother made lousy beer.
Driving a few nails over the years and teaching Sunday school don’t make up for being yied as the worst president ever.
“Id replace Buchanan on that list with George W. Bush.”
I second that. Way back when there were conspiracy theories about how the 9-11 terrorists attacks were planned by US backed Saudis. Back then I thought that was total BS, and then some.
But the Bush family came right out and talked of the New World Order. What a better way for the Deep State to get things going than by creating 9-11 by duping some Islamo Whackos into doing their dirty work. Talk about plausible deniability!
This resulted in our continuous wars ever since. Add to this more destabilizing efforts by Madam Clinton as Secretary of DOS, and we a refugee crisis flooding Europe. I could go on.
But my point is Bush is by far worse than Buchanan and even Carter. Carter’s mistakes were mostly based on idiocy and naive leftism. Bush’s was well planned by the Deep State.
.....and the people who give a f***ing f***.
A simpleton with a simple life and no mind.
I have a lawyer friend who had just graduated, had his first mortgage....with a variable rate! He’s still mad about it.
My dad was a cattle man so burning thousands of gallons of fuel while paying 15% to borrow money, Carter sucked.
Is it his sanctimonious pretense or his antisemitism that you respect most?
Hard to believe he’s 95 years wrong.
Jimmy and Roslynn, just two simple down home millionaires.
They may ostensibly be devout and Bible-believing but what spirits have led them to support terroristic “Palestinians”?
Yep, Carter is a coward and a traitor to our country.
That was only in magazines and catalogs. I don’t remember anyone wearing that shit.
Where would you rank LBJ?
