Jimmy Carter: terrible politician, admirable man. Did his best in a tough period; inaugurated many ideas Reagan got credit for, neither of which I agreed with (deregulation, increasing size of the military). Didn't have what it took to lead. Has worked hard to make the world a better place since his retirement, though I disagree with personal diplomacy (but he seems at least to be decent at it).

Ran a very racist campaign in 1970 for governor, by the way, after getting swamped in 1966 by the racist Lester Maddox, and one of the great blots on his record was that he never owned up to it.
