I know most Freepers don’t want to hear this but Jimmy Carter was one of the most authentic Presidents we have had. His simple life in Plains, His Sunday School teaching, and his worldwide charities are much to be lauded. His tenure as President and his democratic policies were much to be abhorred!

I agree with your post.
He was overwhelmed by the job of POTUS and relied on leftist advisors.
He basically stumbled into the job in the aftermath of Vietnam and Nixon.
But fundamentally a decent fellow.

You are right we really don’t want to hear it .
He gave us the Iran problem we have now by what he did the Shaw who also had cancer at the time .

He would have done better by being the President (CEO) of a furniture manufacturing company and by volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. POTUS and probably Governor of Georgia were out of his league.

I voted for him once and how I wish I could take that vote back.

And yes he did charity work after leaving office but he never learned to shut his mouth about every President who followed him, making him very unpresidential.

Lets see! He hates Jews, Blacks and brown people. You can teach Sunday School and build shitty houses tell the SECOND COMING. He will still not enter the Kingdom! The only thing he has is he is the second worst President, with president oreo winning the top spot for stupid.

And his certification of stolen elections by tyrants? Is that part of his “worldwide charity” that should be lauded?

[sauropod]

He has said some really hateful things these last few years.

He will have to explain himself before God why it was he slandered God’s chosen people.

[stremba]

Agreed. Lousy President but good man. I wish him well.

I agree. Carter is by all accounts a good man even though he was a terrible President. With his personality and instincts, he should have become a professional preacher or run a non-profit charity full time rather than going into politics.

A lot of people compare Obama to Carter, which I think is unfair. I can't picture Obama graduating from US Naval Academy or taking courses in nuclear engineering. Furthermore, there never seemed to be any guile to Carter, while Obama is a conniving, manipulative fraud.

You bring up some good points. If I remember correctly his last Sec-Def set him right and Carter did not stop the work that lead to the F117A and the B-2, which had gone on since 1974 behind the scenes...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Have_Blue

You left out his constant bashing of America
