Here's your chance to Rate Jimmy Carter's Presidency.
Use the standard school scale of 0-100, or you can use A, B, C, D or F as a grade score, with +/- as necessary...........
Fire When Ready, Gridley!...............
Keep this thread open. With three weeks to go, we may be able to rank harris in there also.
Carter was a naval officer, served on submarines and earned his submariner’s dolphins. He has been called to “eternal patrol” by the Supreme Commander.
“Rest your oar sailor we have the watch.”
“Fair winds and following seas.”

Since he turned me from Dem to Repub a 5.
Well said...He lived the life of a faithful Christian which isn’t easy to do. I objected to his interference in foreign elections after his presidency and never understood why it was allowed. Of course, the gas shortage in 1978 or so was no fun either..days of locking gas caps!
Very good - thank you.
so...how long do I have to come up with something? so far it’s just the gas lines. no forgetting those.
So many bad US Presidents, hard to put them in a ranked list.
Buchanan, A Johnson, L Johnson, Wilson, Carter, Biden, Obama
“Iād argue his ineptitude over Iran sparked a new jihad.”
I agree. He ran off the Shah destroying the stability of the country, destroying our allegiance with it, allowing the capture of our embassy, and holding its personnel hostage until Reagan was sworn in. Iran is now a threat to the entire world. Giving away the Panama Canal ranks a close 2nd.
Remember the Bumper sticker back then..
“JIMMY CARTER! The Best President PANAMA ever had!”
after he gave away the US Owned Canal Zone.
In other “good” news he saddled us with the Iranian problem we still have today.
1 to match the 1$ he sold the Panama Canal for and -444 for every day the goat molesters held our embassy.
That crash in the desert

2.
Obama: 1
Biden: 0

Much like most POTUS, they are handled by powers above them in recent years from Carter forward except Trumpster and Reagan. I wouldn’t give any one of the past POTUS from Carter going forward a grade above 5 with the exception of Reagan. Trumpster on the other hand is fighting the good battle much like Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and to a lesser degree Kennedy. When you go against the grain it ruffles feathers.
Gas lines could have been longer? There could have been more American hostages? He could have given the Panama Canal away for free instead of charging one dollar?
negative 69
Okay, Jimmy Carter has passed on to the Final Judgement, Rate his Presidency on a scale of 0-100...........
Nope, not gonna do it.
Yes, true enough. The Neocons advocate toppling Muslim strongmen. Carter followed the same thinking by failing to support the Shah.
