Carter was too moral to be a good president but he is a good man. unlikely any of these passengers (Carter could easily take a private plane as his net worth is a reported 10 million) will ever get to greet a former president like this if they live to be 98.


Carter could easily be worth 100 million today if he wanted to be. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

yet another thing any other former president would eschew. all of them would be on a private jet.

not Carter.

regardless of what i think of him as president it would have been an honor to shake his hand

Poor Jimma nearly got rode out of town on a rail for admitting he lusted in his heart for another woman.

The bar used to be a lot higher.

Happy Birthday, President Carter.

Carter's humanitarian work has no bearing at all on his ranking as a president.

few if any president would do what he did post presidency .. no doubt about that. the man was still helping to build houses until his early 90's when it became too physically taxing for him.

Trump wouldn't do that. neither would Obama or Clinton. Bush Jr "maybe".

rankings are arbitrary horseshit anyway. it all depends on WHO does the ranking yeah? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Yes, rankings of presidents is arbitrary for sure. But if you look at the rankings from C-Span which is considered the best of the ranking sources it would be hard to find bias in them.

142 "experts" completed the most recent survey and ranked each ex-POTUS from 1-10 on 10 important attributes. I could not tell you what each of the 44 men who held the office of POTUS did well and what they did poorly. I doubt you can. But some people do have that knowledge. In C-Span's rankings, 4 of the top 10 are Republican and 4 are Democrat. The bottom 3 are Democrat. Hard to claim bias.

Carter is probably the best example of how a very decent moral man can make an absolutely terrible President.

exactly. Carter's morality prevented him from making hard cold decisions. he waited far too long during the Iran hostage crisis to act. and this man was a Navy officer. he should have sent in a strike force as soon as the military said they were ready.
