3. Carter
I feel whether you like him or not he's the most honest one.

4. Jimmy!
The man got a raw deal. If Poppy hadn't rigged the October Surprise and he had another 4 years, history would remember him with much more kindness.

5. So few choices...
Kinda depressing, especially since three of them are fairly old now.

6. Carter - It used to be Clinton til he sold out
Not only that the Democratic party is paying for the Monica crap. I understand he was hunted and all that but the GOP wingers fling Monica in our faces all the time, and it sucks. (Pun intended)

8. I think Clinton will eventually rise to the level that Carter has
But it will take some time.

I voted for Jimmy. I wish all "Christians" were like him.

12. Clinton will never approach Carter
Jimmy Carter is an amzing human being. Clinton's ego is far too great. He will never approach the level of selfless humanity that Carter embodies. It's just not in his nature.

9. Imagine if Carter had been re-elected and Sadat hadn't been assassinated.
This would be an incredibly different world.

10. Carter: Probably the smartest and most honest president since
Lincoln.

However, honesty is not an attribute prized by most Americans, apparently.

15. I love Jimmy Carter!
Habitat for Humanity is smashing. One of the best ex-presidents.
Clinton is OK, I don't dislike him...

16. Ford and Poppy are not much to speak about as presidents or
ex-presidents. I especially don't like Poppy for continuing the Bush dynasty. The anti-Kennedy clan, ugh.

17. Defintely Jimmy Carter.
This man lives his faith every day and doesn't wear it on his sleeve. He walks the walk and talks the talk.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner, how many US Presidents can claim that on their resumes?

And he gave an ass kicking speech at the Dem Convention last July.
