1. Somehow, some way, President Carter's greatest virtue got turned into his political Archilles' Heel.

That speaks volumes about American politics. And definitely not in a good way.


He was indeed the most honest and moral man to ever hold the office.

3. By far.

A candidate in that vein would be a good antidote to Chump in 2020.


Although it is tempting you can't beat Chump by being a bigger asshole than he is.

4. I like Carter a lot. He is a sound thinker and an honorable person! He was a president you could

respect!

6. He was and is my dad's political hero.

For some, a one-term president as your personal political hero might be something of a puzzlement, but as I learned more and more about President Carter I understood exactly where my dad was coming from.

A couple of years ago he got to meet President Carter at one of his bible study talks. That was a huge thrill for him to say the least.

7. My day really liked him too, as well as FDR and JFK. He passed on before Obama, but I know he would

have liked Obama too. That is great to hear that your dad had a chance to meet President Carter!!!

8. Jimmy Carter was a good president

It's always bothered me that Senator Kennedy primaried him. That weakened the president giving us Reagan. That was the beginning of much of our nation's problems today.

The hostages, the gas spike, the sky high interest rates killed him despite it being largely beyond his control.
