Carters greed for a piece of the action lead to the collapse of Iran, which lead to the invasion of Afghanistan, which lead to the CIA support of the muhajadhin (sp). Which lead to 9/11.

That is Jimmah’s legacy.

I’ll say this: Being married for 72 years is amazing.

It is nice to have humility.

It is nice when others observe it.

It gets to be a problem when you become too proud of your own humility.

That is how I have always seen Carter.

Years ago I saw Carter appear up on the Carson show.

Carson gave him a nice introduction and Carter came out and they proceeded to exchange pleasantries and small talk.

Carter had been there only a few minutes when he rudely admonished Carson for not bringing up the issue of Habitat for Humanity. Carter wanted everyone to know he participated.

Carter went on to explain that he took part in it. As I remember it, it wasn’t about praising the program or helping to connect others so they would take part, it was just about his own humanitarian actions.

At the end of the interview I was impressed by Carter’s rudeness and his ability to pat himself on the back to that level without breaking something.

He was visibly angry with Carson, and Carson just sat there and allowed him to ramble.

Carter was a real jerk.

I’ve never believed Jimmy Carter was a bad or corrupt man.

You are mistaken.

From what I understand, Jimmah was once a member of the KKK.

He was a hateful progressive to the bone. His posturing to hide his two-faced treachery smeared the entire Christian community.

lack of Competence is not the equivalent of lack of character

Actually, it really, really is, when you have arrogated yourself to your Peter Principle postion. It is a fundamental dishonesty to aspire to a league well beyond your capacity when the stakes are the lives of 300,000,000 of your countrymen. It is the utmost in pompous self-delusion.

"Billy Beer"

About the only passable thing to have come from his time in office. Billy's daughter, Jimmah's niece, is married to Van Jones.

His policies did not work, but he is devoted Christian; served in us navy; he is good man. his presidency did not damage American institutions in any way. I would have voted for him over obama Except that I believe he is pro -Palestinian, anti-Israel.

A great number of old Southern Baptists believe "the Jews murdered our Savior" and side with Arabs against Israel because of that.

They don't pay attention to the truth that the death of Jesus had to come to pass as foretold in the scriptures.

To each their own.

I despise him for sneaky anti-Semitism which covered just enough to get nice people to allow his support for terrorists.

I cannot respect him because in a nonfiction book on use of space for military strategy planning it was reported that he blurted out to a negotiator: I have just come away with the idea that I think the Iranians are lying to us and don’t really want peace like I do. The negotiator was open mouthed over realizing Carter was a dangerously naïve fool who was risking our lives.
All the time his triad of defense was in use during his presidency the codes had been breached and the Soviets knew the exact location of all US nuclear subs at all times! We could have been killed.

He was jealous of Reagan and tried to get a Nobel Price by undermining the US policy with known enemies as ex-president.

He called Reagan “a dangerous radical.”
