All I remember of Jimmy Carter, was waiting in the gas lines in 73.

I will usually not speak ill of the dead but this time cannot hold my tongue.

Presided over the worst inflation of my lifetime. Incredible high interest rates.
Long long gas lines.
Bungled iran hostage situation which was solved in a few hours by President Reagon.
The american people recognized what a disaster as president he was and lost reelection in a landslide.
He became a very outspoken anti Semite in his later years and for that he is unforgivable in my mind.
Worst president in my lifetime.

Or the living on Talk of the Villages.


President Jimmy Carter will be loved and admired by future generations. Especially for what he did since leaving office.

I saw Reagan speak at the University of Nevada, Reno. A man of wit and substance. And great at talking to people. And for the most part an honest and honorable person. He could have won against almost anyone.



Jimmy Carter did great things after leaving office. A lot of other Presidents never did much of anything great at any point in their lives.


I believe he was fighting for the rights of all parties in the mess in the Middle East. Very hard to do without angering someone.

"How to speak ill of the dead, without actually speaking ill of the dead." Great lesson.

“Presidents never did much of anything great at any point in their lives”

they got elected to highest office and most powerful person in world. Some people never had job or could hold one in their life. I’d say they done pretty good?

There have been some very corrupt and criminal Presidents of the United States .


And I personally have been nominated to 24 Marquis Who's Who volumes while doing my hobby of helping survivors/victims of crimes get access to practical information. No one was paying me to do that. Like Jimmy Carter I was doing something because I could make a difference.
