And don't forget his "Peace" brokering with Yassar Arafat.
The list is very long...
He did a lot in his one term. All pretty much bad.
I was having a discussion with some friends yesterday and the topic of Jimmy Carter came up. The question was asked, "Did Carter ever do anything good?"
I and one of my other friends couldn't think of anything, but one of the guys said "Well, he raised Military pay at the tail end of his Presidency."
Beyond that, nobody could think of a single Carter "Accomplishment" of any merit.
Only by liberals
He was not chief engineer..... he spent six or eight weeks on a commissioning run Most of his service career is spent doing nothing
I stand corrected.

How laughable... I remember how the media treated Carter while he was in office and they treated him like a super star and despite all that adoration from the mainstream media his polling numbers still dropped to all time lows in the fall of 1979. Several Democrats even decided to challenge Jimmy for the Democrat nomination including Teddy (How’s the water down there Mary-Joe?) Kennedy... And the media obviously got tingles at the prospect of a Kennedy presidency... Then the most wonderful thing of all happened for Jimmy... A revolution in Iran caused by his own ineptness (one of many failures during his presidency) resulted in the American embassy employees being taken hostage... Well guess what happened then??? Jimmy’s polling numbers sky rocketed to highs he hadn’t seen during his entire presidency.
Now you wouldn’t think that a nice guy like Jimmy would take advantage of such a thing to re-win the Democrat nomination and run again for President, but he did. And when he ran, leaving the White House and actually campaigning was impossible because of that hostage thing going on in Iran... His numbers stayed high and continued to do so... Even after the failed rescue attempt Jimmy’s numbers were strong... And the day of the election was expected by most mainstream journalist to be a Democrat romp... Funny thing happened on the way to the polls though... The people they polled were different than the people who voted and despite Jimmy’s awesome polling numbers, he lost in a historic landslide.
Well... The media had to blame somebody for all this mess and when they considered the many stark and obvious failures of Jimmy’s presidency... He got the blame.
If the mainstream media considers for one second that Obama isn’t going to get the blame for his failed presidency, they can think again... Because while Jimmy’s Presidency was a terrible tenure, Obama’s wasn’t much better. History has a way of working itself out and that will be the case with Obama’s legacy as well.
Right now, it was the Russian’s fault, or even Hillary’s fault... But the reason why Donald Trump won the Presidency is because Obama was a complete failure. So if Mr. Kristof or someone of his ilk is lucky enough to be writing about Obama’s legacy 37 years from now they will likely lament on how poorly the media treated him, but they will be printing a falsehood much like the falsehood Mr. Kristof has written of Jimmy’s treatment by the media.
The media treated Jimmy fantastically, while history treated him with the fairness a failed President deserves. Obama’s failures have been many and history will record them, hash over them and most sensible scholars will come to the same and obvious conclusion about Obama’s presidency. Abject failure and the worst two term President in history.

Carter was an intellectual. The worst kind of president.
See Woodrow Wilson.
He was a mean, corrupt, even vain little boy.
He deserted his Navy before finishing his agreed on tour of duty.
I wouldn't say he was even an intellectual in the strictest sense. Well trained, in some aspects. Like administrating gym schedules!
Because recruiting was so bad! We had sailors on welfare and food stamps! Unforgivable.
