The Carters spent just four years in the White House during troubled times and almost four decades out of it redefining what a former president and first lady can accomplish.
Jimmy Carter was president from 1977 to 1981 and he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work. They have broken every record: Jimmy Carter, 95, is the oldest living American president and he and Rosalynn have the longest presidential marriage in history. They celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on July 7, 2019. They have been married longer than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have been alive. (George W. Bush was born the day before they got married.)
Up until 2014 Rosalynn Carter went to Africa with her husband a couple of times each year. Rosalynn Carter got emotional when she talked with me about visiting a village where guinea worm, a debilitating disease that in 1986 afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in Asia and Africa, had been eradicated. There were only 28 cases in 2018 because of the work of the Carter Center.

About the best thing that could be said for W was that he wasn’t Gore.
Jimmuh is the second worst president ever, was THE worst until Bath House Barry came along.
Jimmuhs anger and bitterness about Reagan kicking his @ss in 1980 has never gone away. Behind that frozen-in-place smile is a very bitter, petty and deranged leftist.
As a USNA grad I hate to admit he is our only alumni President. sigh.....I usually just try to blame him on an early bubble-head nuclear reactor leak....
He was a terrible president. I admired his post-presidential work with Habitat for Humanity, then lost some respect for him when he started criticizing Bush.
That would explain a lot!
I well remember the Misery index.
Someone tweeted “We’ll never have another President and First Lady like the Carters”.
Let us pray they are correct.
“First, let us discuss those long gas lines. “
Nothing compared to 1973!
Thanks did too. Only after screwing the world.
Yeah, I didn’t read the article (I just ate lunch) - was the rabbit mentioned?
Carter appears to have a decent streak in him ( with his occasional house building exercises). But he did America so very much damage he will go down in our history as the second- worst president ever (obozo being number one, of course - ) thank Heaven we survived ! And yes Carter is a terrible anti-Semite too - hes got a whole lot to answer for when he finally meets his judgment
Only the good die young.
“He is a very modest man. Indeed he has a great deal to be modest about.”
Winston Churchill
And you don’t believe that could be the case? RBG has 1 child...same with Carter...plus hospitals could play a part...and Epstein didn’t kill himself
"'I think to close out this discussion, I think it would be better to put into perspective what we are talking about. I had a discussion with our daughter, Amy, the other day before I came here to ask her what the most important issue was. She said she thought it was nuclear weaponry, and the control of nuclear arms,' Carter said."
Got the Nobel pp three years after certifying the Chavez election was all good.
He did, indeed, and he still says some pretty outlandish things but I admire his actions with Habitat for Humanity, he has worked hard at that important charity..
> She said she thought it was nuclear weaponry, and the control of nuclear arms,’ Carter said.” <
Stupid Amy. If only she had said Global Warming. That would have given her the Nobel Prize and her father a second term.
Jimmah Carter has hated and despised America ever since it failed to return him to office in 1980.
He has been a one-person wrecking ball of our Middle East policy, with a special distaste for Israel.
His wife accused the Reagans of “making America comfortable with its prejudices”. Petty, spiteful, and mean they are.
FWIW, 1980 was the year the major networks flipped the map colors of liberal and conservative from red to blue for the former, and from blue to red for the latter. Red, the color of communism, became red, the color of alarm & panic as in OMG those nasty rightwingers are turning our country red!
The WORST president ever! And the VERY worst ex-president.
