Carter's comment hit ME like a ton of bricks.

How can a former President of the US think such a thing?

"How can a former President of the US think such a thing?"

He has contempt for an electorate that addressed his dismal performance as president. It's not that he did a bad job....America just was too stupid to know....hence why the award is more important. But your right, this is a low point ( one of many ) for Carter.

Just shows in his pecking order how high up his country and his service for it comes - not very high.

Instead of being an isolationist - Carter is an Internationalist

I think I know the answer. He hates this country. A lot.

Because Carter is focused on success and his presidency was a proven failure? Because he won the presidential election but failed to govern our country?

I remember some political discussions during that period too. One was whether or not a single person was able to be president because it was SO hard and there were SO many things a president had to be on top of.
