At the age of 95, Jimmy Carter is now the longest-living U.S. president in history. “Great men are a dime a dozen,” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough noted on the former president’s birthday. “Jimmy Carter has always been something far greater than that. He has lived his life as a good man. And that is exactly what America needs right now.”
Now, I realize the Trump-obsessed Scarborough is attempting to juxtapose the former president with the present one. But the canonization of Carter has always been transparent revisionism. Habitat for Humanity or not, the world would have been a far better place had Carter retired from the world stage after his presidency. Carter’s post-presidency is a stark reminder, in fact, that “good” personal decorum doesn’t necessarily translate into “good” political actions.

My father passed through the Panama Canal during WWII. I’ll never forgive Carter for giving it away.
Andrew Jackson was our most unbalanced President.
Horse Hockey! He was surpassed by Hussein.
2nd worst, courtesy of obozo
I think Obama was our worst....
His folksy demeanor was/is a smokescreen for a Marxist stooge.
It is close between him and Obama. I personally would say Obama.
No, he is not.
At least he doesn’t completely hate America, nor did he try to destroy the society, take over the medical industry or give away the nation to muslims.
He single-handedly caused all of the turmoil and carnage occurring in the mid-East.
As bad as Jimmy Carter was, and he definitely was horrible, I believe history will show Obama to be far, far worse. All has not come to light yet on Obama. But make no mistake, I utterly despise Jimmy Carter.
Rosalynn Carter (El Wife) just had her 92nd birthday on August 18th. She never seeks the limelight anymore, at least not directly. Probably has a lot of volunteer functions when she chooses to leave the mansion.
Jimmey Carter was our first Marxist president. He wanted to put all Americans on the peanut farm. I remember the gas lines and the fill up days to ration our fuel supply. Just like the Soviet Union. My photo business suffered mightily.
He has lived his life as a good man. And that is exactly what America needs right now...
I’m not saying Trump is a bad man. He’s NOT.
But why does the country need a good man.
There were likely some great leaders who were bad men in many aspects of their lives but were GREAT and EFFECTIVE leaders.
And all of a sudden that virtue matters to dems.
How much did it matter when bill was raping women
Think positive maybe he and Ginsberg can drop dead together on the same day, at least it would help his legacy.
“After 8 years in office, Americans have rated President Obama the 5th best President ever.”
These are the details according to Texas A&M:
1. Reagan & Lincoln tied for first,
2. Twenty three presidents tied for second,
3. Seventeen other presidents tied for third,
4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth, and
5. Obama came in fifth.
Don’t take this away from the a##clown.
he was not the worse president.....that title belongs to the half white/half black gay guy posing as and American citizen...
DingleBarry has assumed the mantle from Peanutbrain.
Jimmy Carter did not weaponize the IRS, CIA, FBI, NSA, and ATF against the people of the United States!
