He set the barMaybe not the best president, but I can't imagine ever having a better ex-president.
This!Maybe not the best president, but I can't imagine ever having a better ex-president.
He knew that four years ago.Jimmy Carter left this world knowing that he was no longer considered the worst president in American history!
Wrong again Mr President.He knew that four years ago.
So in your view did President Carter vote for Harris because he would then move up to third worst? RIP Mr. President. See you when I get there.Wrong again Mr President.
That must be a good feeling knowing you already got your ticket punchedSo in your view did President Carter vote for Harris because he would then move up to third worst? RIP Mr. President. See you when I get there.
Only if Harris would have won!So in your view did President Carter vote for Harris because he would then move up to third worst? RIP Mr. President. See you when I get there.

Apsa. Social science. Lol. Only people that stupid would think that of Biden. Supporting LGBTQxyz I’m sure gave him points to offset a border crisis etc. Total clowns removed from the real world.

Since I was born in 78, can I squeeze Carter onto the list? Technically during my lifetime.Apsa. Social science. Lol. Only people that stupid would think that of Biden.

These rankings are always garbage. Had Carter been a republican his place would soar. He was conservative in many spheres. He championed more deregulation than the conservatives that followed by way of one exampleSince I was born in 78, can I squeeze Carter onto the list? Technically during my lifetime.
I'd put him clearly below the top tier, but also clearly above the bottom tier. He was too often ineffectual, but he did accomplish a few important things. Mark's link gives a good rundown of the good and bad. And he gets huge credit from me for one of his last appointments: Paul Volcker. That alone did more good than anything Biden, Trump, or W accomplished.

Don't think you can judge a President based on what happens in the world or large economic movements during his years in office. They aren't gods.Time affects judgment. He was a fvcking disaster in regards to the economy and foreign policy. The rise of Islamic fanaticism occurred under him - see Iran, Afghanistan - consequences we are still dealing with today.
His approval ratings in comparison to many of his era were not good. He only won FOUR states in his bid for reelection.

That being said, he did things the right way in terms of how he handled himself and how active he was trying to do good post-Presidency.
Instead, you have to look at how they responded and what they did. Otherwise, you have to tag GWBush with 9/11 and the Great Recession, and FDR with the outbreak of WW 2. Makes no sense
Re public approval. who cares?
Good take...thank God Sunday night football was in dc tonight, and not down south somewhere, the moment of silence was classy, who knows how the maggots would have responded

I think even his harshest critics would have to agree with that.Maybe not the best president, but I can't imagine ever having a better ex-president.
If he was honorable, why did he lie about the oil shortage and the World had ran out of Oil.I think even his harshest critics would have to agree with that.
Let me put it this way: I have a great deal more respect for The Carter Center and the work it has done promoting and protecting free and fair elections worldwide than I do for the Clinton Foundation - or any other ex-president’s legacy/vanity organization.
On top of this important legacy, Jimmy Carter was a genuinely honorable and decent man.
This happens all of the time. You don’t think FDR’s attitudes and policies towards Japan impacted their decision to attack? His lack of desire for war enabled Hitler?
Gwb gets blamed all of the time for 9/11 (see Michael Moore) and the GRC.
There is no more objective measure than public support DURING a presidency. Winning four states as an incumbent is horrific.
All of the rest of the excuses are just noise.
Amen. Carter got destroyed in 1980. The GOP got destroyed in 2008. Harris just got soundly beaten by Trump. The public usually gets it right.This happens all of the time.

Goin out for steaks and drinks this Friday with the Texan. About time for me to level up. Learn what I should be worrying about. Where I’m goin wrong. And what I need to be doing this yearAmen.

Volcker with his 22% interest rates put a lot of farmers and small businesses out of business! The guy was a disaster!
Who’s the Texan?Goin out for steaks and drinks this Friday with the Texan. About time for me to level up. Learn what I should be worrying about. Where I’m goin wrong. And what I need to be doing this year
A mix of Jack Burton, Satoshi Nakamoto, and John Dutton….aka the coolest person ever.Who’s the Texan?
I assume you're referring to his "Moral equivalent of war" address? If so, I think it's worth embedding that here so people can know the context.If he was honorable, why did he lie about the oil shortage and the World had ran out of Oil.
i'll be down there this summer for his daughter's wedding. he got that boyfriend to propose.A mix of Jack Burton, Satoshi Nakamoto, and John Dutton….aka the coolest person ever.
