Jimmy Carter will be 100 years old on Oct. 1. That in itself might have been enough to stage a concert in his honor. After, no other president has hit the century mark, and so why not? Yet when the roster of D-listers, has-beens and never-weres took the stage to honor Jimmuh last Tuesday, they weren’t content with praising his unprecedented longevity. Instead, they spent a great deal of time hailing “the singularity of his achievements” and praising the ways in which he supposedly made the country better. That’s right: once again leftists exchanged fantasy for reality.
The New York Times reported Friday that a stellar lineup including the B-52’s, BeBe Winans, Angélique Kidjo, Chuck Leavell “and many others,” some of whom you may even have heard of, took the stage at Atlanta’s venerable Fox Theatre to honor the failed president.
The air was thick with undeserved praise. “You can see he had a relationship to music — look at how we gathered here together tonight. He used it as a powerful tool to bring people together.” Carter brought people together? Then why is the country so divided today? I know, I know: The Gipper and the Bad Orange Man....
The Times was less confused about the concert for Carter. “In many ways,” the Paper of Record pontificated, the concert “mirrored the scope and ambitions of the man it was celebrating: Global and idealistic in its reach, but firmly planted in Georgia, molded by religious and cultural traditions as well as the rich but complicated history of the rural South.” Uh huh. Global and idealistic and the worst president of the latter half of the twentieth century.

He gave us Ronald Reagan.
For that, I’m grateful.
Singular achievements?
There wasn’t a single achievement by Jimmie the geek.
I figure he will die before the election. It will be an event that the Democrats will use for a political rally.
They believe there is no sin in killing people to help win an election.
And thanks.
Or we could mention deserting the Shah of Iran and paving the way for the militant Islam movement that has destroyed everything it has touched for 40+ years. He was an absolutely incompetent, completely uninspiring phony. He was my first Commander-in-Chief; I can't describe how much military morale improved once President Reagan took office.
I was stationed in the Canal Zone when he gave it away. Gas immediately went up $.50 a gallon.
22% interest bearing bonds was a nice pick up. but the inflation killed many dreams!
Of course does joe need to make it to November...?
And it’s not even his doing.
Gave away the canal☹
Bingo!!! Winning post of the year. Carter’s singular achievement.

He grew peanuts and built houses.
He helped the Iranians get rid of that awful Shah fellow.
FORCING EVERYONE TO KNOW THE LAST NUMBER IN THEIR LICENSE PLATE
HE inherited a peanut farm that he filed bankruptcy on 3 times...EVERY 7 years like clockwork
Forgot about that.
Being responsible for more misery and destruction after he got out of office then he did while in it?
I really wish the Grinning Monster would go ahead and die.
IN A SAND STORM
Carter was actually quite conservative. He was very christian and supported states rights. He kept us out of two wars; that’s why the press hated him so.
Probably the smartest president we ever had, but a little guy and a terrible public speaker. Did not look or sound like a leader.
