Sorry to hear. He’s one that certainly did more for people because of his presidency and what it allowed him to do after, than what he did during his presidency. I think he’s been a good man he just wasn’t much of a president. But I’d take him over what we’ve got in place at the moment.

Good post.
Very much agree. He spent decades selflessly helping others after his term. He is an example of a very good man.
I find it odd that some folks enjoy hearing someone is dying or died, simply because they had different political views.
I’ve always found it impossible for me to hate him. I hated his presidency and his policies but he was one <rare> person that I separated his personal life from his political life and had 2 concurrent opinions about him. I think he was a terrible politician and president but I believe that he was a good man. I’ll probably be roasted for saying that.
Jimmy Carter is a rare exception to the seething hatred I harbor for liberals.
When he passes I hope he can RIP and I hope that his end is easy.
Very weak president in a time when we needed a strong one. His mishandling of the whole Iran mess has left us with problems in the Middle East from then on. Should have turned Tehran into a smoking pit when they took our embassy.

Yup. I was WH support when he was President, and met him. He seemed pretty nice. He was a miserable President though.
Another in the long list of presidents that failed the American people. Only four in my life time have been half way decent. Ike, Nixon, Reagan, Trump. Hasbeen

Concur with the above. He wasn’t a great President but he is a good man and has has lived a life that many would do well to emulate.

I feel the same. He was the president that got the world on the Petro Dollar, really helped the USA.
HIs farm polices ruined the family farmer. He promised that He had markets for every thing that the American farmer could grow. Then when harvest season came along, He started putting embargos on countrys where they could not buy our product. That is when China started investing in the rain forrest of Brazil. Look at the facts. miles
Never felt better voting for any other President. Liked to starved to death! They set him up to tame inflation with too high interest rates and other crazy [bleep]. If you could afford T Bills back then, you're still rich. Paved the way for "conservative" Reagan to spend like a drunken sailor. But life did improve.
Jimmy wasn’t by any measurable metrics, a good President. He did great damage to America, thought ill of America, and often sided with America’s enemies. His death won’t bring much sadness. He is years past his “use by date”.

Reagan did not spend money like a drunken sailor. Congress spent money like a drunken sailor,, and my apologies to drunken sailors.

No offense to anyone on this board, but a large part of the problems we have in this country now are the result of gullible people who think Carter was a "good man". He was an evil imposter, the very definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
If Donald Trump had half the Character of Jimmy Carter, he may have had a successful Presidency in the ways that truly matter, rather than being the embodiment of the ignorance, bigotry, and hatred that seems to have poisoned the minds of many on this Board. Quite sad.

He was a great man, but not a great leader. His life after the Whitehouse was highly commendable. He did a lot of good. Still taught Sunday school ever Sunday.

I went to hear Jimmy speak around 1990 when he came to my college campus. I think he is a good guy with his heart in the right place and I appreciated that he was engineer who also served his country. However, like many Americans, he was naive in thinking that the rest of the world couldn't be that bad and made several bad decisions because of it.
He was the Joe Biden of his time.Dragged the country into a recession and laughed about how he suckered the gun owners to vote for him because they thought he was a hunter. He is laughing now because now there is a worse president than him.
I don't know what Jimmy Carter was really like, but I've heard he had a nasty temper and treated his staff very poorly. Whether that's true or not I don't know for sure, but that is what I heard many years ago and it's very different than his public image.
Still, I don't wish him ill even though he was a lousy president.
I believe Carter was a good and honest man. Misguided, but basically he wanted to do the right things. But that was 50 years ago! Communist goals 1963 Here we are, 60 years later. Reflect on this a minute or two, then,.. Take a look at where America (particularly the Democratic Party, but the majority of the Republican as well) Are you seeing the changes? A blind man can see what’s going on, and I fear for my country and my children! 7mm

Without a doubt, Jimmy Carter was the worst elected president we ever had. Pedo Joe and the magic knee grow were not elected, they were installed by the NWO advocates and their agenda is to destroy the United States of America. Carter made bad decisions based on emotion and the world’s population continues to suffer from those bad decisions. He did not see the evil in mankind and naively thought he could make evil people good. Even God recognizes there are evil people who will not change and he has made arrangements to justly punish them in the afterlife. Carter will stand before that same God and his place in the afterlife will be determined. Rightfully, we have no say in that. Carter was a terrible president and the world still suffers as a result of his bad decisions. Death is the end of life. None of us escape death and 98 years is a good run. Instead of mourning his death, it should be accepted as the natural end. It matters how you die and I do not wish him an excruciating death. I have seen that and it is not a good way to die. I hope his death is peaceful although the world will continue to suffer from his bad decisions.
Without Carter there is no Reagan. One and done. The pendulum swung hard on that election. America was as depressed as I ever seen it during his term. Oil, gas station lines, turning the thermostat down and wearing a Mr Rogers sweater, the Iran crisis and failed attempt by Delta, unemployment, interest rates, crappy cars (K car anyone?), just a general feeling of malaise in the country.
RR came along with a message of hope and patriotism. One of the greatest comebacks ever for a country. It gives me hope that it can happen again.
The pendulum swung after Ford and Watergate. We ended up with Carter. Wrong man for the job. He should’ve been doing humanitarian work anywhere but the Oval Office. Let’s hope we learn from that in 2024. I wish him no ill will, thank him for his Naval service, and hope he has a peaceful passing. History will take care of the rest.
Only 13 cases of guinea worm disease were reported worldwide in 2022, a provisional figure that if confirmed would be the smallest ever documented, the US-based Carter Center has said.
The tiny number of cases, down from 15 the previous year, is the result of more than four decades of global efforts to stamp out the parasitic disease by mobilising communities and improving drinking water quality in transmission hotspots.
If those efforts ultimately prove successful, guinea worm will not only be the second disease in history to be eradicated, after smallpox, it will be the first to be wiped out without a vaccine or medicine.
Quote
“Our partners, especially those in the affected villages, work with us daily to rid the world of this scourge. We are heartened that eradication can be achieved soon,” said Jimmy Carter, the former US president who co-founded the Carter Center in 1982.
When the centre took on leadership of the global eradication programme in 1986, about 3.5 million human cases were recorded annually in 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Pakistan, India and Uganda are among the countries that have eradicated it. Last year the Democratic Republic of the Congo joined the list.
I won't say anything rude about him but will paraphrase what a friend living in Plains at that time had to say. At best a hypocrite, his black mistresses were shuttled into the state capitol during his tenure and she doubted it changed in the white house. She stated he had at least two blow bys with one of them. At her socio-economic level she heard lots of things. Purely anecdotal, take for what it's worth. I won't miss him.

Pales in comparison to the millions who have suffered under despotic regimes that he facilitated.
Go vote democrat then. Dont know what to tell you. Carter was awful. He brought the country to its knees. One of the worst ever. Then he backed the evil demonrat party until he was too damn old to understand anything. Fugg him. Hope hes worm food sooner rather than later
Get over yourselves. The other side is at war with you and youre sittinf here acting like carter was some good man. None of them are. Every last one of the corksuckers can rot in hell
A decent man wouldn’t have screwed up the country like he did. Just because he hid behind a bible and was was a smooth talking southern gentleman doesn’t make him a decent man FFS.

I can agree with that. He had about as much business being president as I do, as he was in way over his head. But, I believe he was basically a good Christian man, although too liberal in some of his views. Easily the weakest president in my lifetime until Biden came along.

Historical ignorance seems to be a disease around here. Reagan submitted seven out of eight BALANCED budgets. The only deficit budget was the first one to built up the armed forces after the IDIOT Carter decimated it.. Carter was an anti-American democrat, disparaging us all over the world, he certified the fraudulent elections in Venezuela, par for the course for democrats.
An acquaintance of mine was part of a Baptist church group that would go and help out in such things as disasters and church related construction projects. He traveled a lot in the South, and worked with other such Baptist groups. He said that although he never met Jimmy Carter, he did work with some people that were connected with Carter's group that was doing pretty much what they were. The general consensus was that while Carter was indeed a good Christian man, he had some extreme liberal views about things. He said he once told some of those people that he thought Carter was terrible president, and they all were pretty much in agreement.
When he kicks the Bucket, all the media bombardment on how good of a man, Christian, and president will gear up. Get to hear all the talking heads and politicians speak glowingly of him..
It will all be sickening to say the least..
Ain't no such thing as a good Liberal Socialist Democrat no matter how anyone tries to spin off that baseline foundation of what he was.....

You don't come in Lone Ranger and become Governor & Senator of Georgia then President of the USA without the blessing of the Cabal. Ol Jimma was a good actor , such a good actor he made it all the way to the top. He still has people fooled today believing he's a good ole down to earth country hand.
My rock castle county, Kentucky grandpa loved Carter, he loved any politician who was for welfare/unions. He believed to the day he died that democrats were for the working man.
Jimma, did what the power that be wanted him to.
444 days the hostages were imprisoned in Iran, jimma talked very softly ,,amen

As is often the case, jorge nailed it. Carter continued to do evil work long after America booted his sorry azz from office.

Yeah dear Ol Jimmy gave us Robert Mugabe, who ruined a once prosperous country in what used to be called Rhodesia
The gutless coward let a bunch of raghead camel phuggers rub his nose in a pile of schidt for months. As soon as Reagan came along thins changed- - - -in a hurry! May he burn in Hell for all eternity!

Yep, he was elected all because Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. Story sound familiar people voted for Biden cause trump said mean things on twitter.
A lot pards on here need to brush up on history from 76-80 a lot of chit went down and good ol Jimmy watched it happen. Russia invade Afghanistan?? story sound familiar with another weak democrat president??

There was a little more back door dealings and quid pro quo than your astute geopolitical analysis would suggest but it makes no difference because we already established on page 1 that he was one of the shi.ttiest presidents of all time. Unfortunately there are a long line of presidents after him that all had their noses rubbed in camelshit too. 😉
In fact camelshit has adorned the noses of most presidents since Carter….Reagan and Trump were the exceptions.

Peanut brain wasn't just a bitch-boy of the camel crowd...he also gave away the Panama Canal (strategic US Navy planners loved that one, adding 8,000 NM to the transit). Peanut brain recognized Communist China in 1979, and removed Taiwan from the list of nations. One can only wonder if USA and PRC would be this close to the brink if we had recognized Taiwan as a nation. The '79 energy crisis of his admin was directly responsible for the 80's recession. We think Biden now holds the crown, but if you had lived, the odd/even license plates for gas days, insane interest rates and inflation, unemployment, foreclosures etc, you'd call it a tie.
Alot of azzclowns in here that I guarantee didnt vote for trump cause hes a meany. Can just tell. Screw carter and any other dem. Hope they all rot along side the rinos
I think Jimmy Carter was a good and kind man. Golden. Would love to have him as a neighbor. Ultimately he was misguided and horrible as a president though.

Throw the old SOB in a hole and shovel some dirt in his face already, what's the hold up? Bye Jimmy, say hi to Ted Kennedy, McCain and Ruthie Ginsberg when you get there.
Say what you will. I believe there is a just God and Jimmy Carter will receive salvation.
Never voted for him and thought he was at best ineffective as president
This is it in a nutshell.
As far as comparing him to the last 3 Democratic presidents and saying he was worse, I don’t know how you could be more wrong.
The poor policies of Carter have long been washed away and recovery has happened to this country.
Clinton, Obama and now Biden, have set stains on the constitution that will never wash off. Clinton and his murderous band of cronies have committed more grievous destruction to the United States than Carter ever thought of. You forget that half of the Clinton administration was Hilary.
Obama did more to wreck any race relations since the race riots in the 1960’s, his hatred and mutilation of police and law enforcement will not soon recover if it ever will. He totally abused the office for his wife’s sake and to promote Islam, while claiming Christian values and fooled even more people to believe his ideals were virtuous.
Biden single handedly has destroyed what is left of Clinton and Obama’s legacies by putting the most putrid people in all the most powerful positions in his cabinet. He is outwardly oppressing the constitution and doing his best to put this country in the worst condition it could possibly be in and not crumble. He isn’t done yet.
How any halfway literate and functioning person can find Carter worse than these 3 is beyond belief…

Funny how any of you can go to bat for chitbag politicians. They are and have been for a long ass time, everything thats wrong and evil in this country. Carter isnt a good man.

And Carter backed them all. Not saying he was worse, he wasnt. Those 3 are the top of evil that we have seen in my lifetime and its gotten worse each time. Point is, Carter along with all the other dems are just as responsible as those 3 pricks for what has happened to us

Shrapnel pretty well summed it up as far as I am concerned. You won't ever see a Clinton, Obama or Biden building homes or helping anyone outside of their own self-interests anytime soon.
Not a Carter fan, thought he was ineffective with the energy crisis, Iran and the inflation all three. I don't think he would have been elected if the media and the Democrats hadn't demonized Ford for pardoning Nixon. But (and this isn't saying much) he was a better human being than Johnson, Clinton, Obama, Biden and probably all of the Kennedys put together.
The oil embargo was a mofo. I was 18 years old and working in a gas station. That was probably a good thing because I could get gas whenever I wanted. It's a 6 month period of time that is etched into my brain forever. Interesting to say the least.
I suspect a pattern here, in our differing opinions on the Carter years, of course we really don't know much on the internet about a person...age, income...anybody can say anything, who is to know? My suspicion is, if you were financially secure and or in upper income brackets...you don't know schidt about the misery and anguish Carter wreaked through sheer incompetence to the dirty calloused hands working stiffs. Construction workers, loggers, millworkers, miners, truckers, oilmen were dumped like garbage. Carter's 'greatest achievement' (his words) putting 104 million acres in full federal lockdown in Alaska. Why were the Iran hostages released when they were finally? Because in 4 more days (444 days in captivity) a new sheriff called Reagan would be sworn in. In another earlier post I already mentioned elevating communist China and removing Taiwan from nation status, the giveaway of the Panama canal etc. If none of this registers with you, and your standards for being a good man are based on photo ops driving nails in free houses...nothing i say can change your minds...but Carter's policies and policy makers made my life hell.

Because in 4 more days (444 days in captivity) a new sheriff called Reagan would be sworn in. In another earlier post I already mentioned elevating communist China and removing Taiwan from nation status, the giveaway of the Panama canal etc. If none of this registers with you, and your standards for being a good man are based on photo ops driving nails in free houses...nothing i say can change your minds...but Carter's policies and policy makers made my life hell.
I'm trying to remember the time he publicly rebuked Clinton/Obama/Biden for their nonsense.
Exactly, but dont worry, he was a good man
I really wonder what he and Rosalynn Carter thought about Bubba Clinton and that blue dress with his dried semen on it, and Bubba Clinton using cigars to tickle Monica Lewinsky's cooter. They had to have seen it, it was inescapable even back then. Maybe he threw his Bible at the TV and called it 'good enough' of a rebuke?
I suspect a pattern here, in our differing opinions on the Carter years, of course we really don't know much on the internet about a person...age, income...anybody can say anything, who is to know? My suspicion is, if you were financially secure and or in upper income brackets...you don't know schidt about the misery and anguish Carter wreaked through sheer incompetence to the dirty calloused hands working stiffs.

Say what you will. I believe there is a just God and Jimmy Carter will receive salvation.
Never voted for him and thought he was at best ineffective as president
This is it in a nutshell.
As far as comparing him to the last 3 Democratic presidents and saying he was worse, I don’t know how you could be more wrong.
The poor policies of Carter have long been washed away and recovery has happened to this country.
Clinton, Obama and now Biden, have set stains on the constitution that will never wash off. Clinton and his murderous band of cronies have committed more grievous destruction to the United States than Carter ever thought of. You forget that half of the Clinton administration was Hilary.
Obama did more to wreck any race relations since the race riots in the 1960’s, his hatred and mutilation of police and law enforcement will not soon recover if it ever will. He totally abused the office for his wife’s sake and to promote Islam, while claiming Christian values and fooled even more people to believe his ideals were virtuous.
Biden single handedly has destroyed what is left of Clinton and Obama’s legacies by putting the most putrid people in all the most powerful positions in his cabinet. He is outwardly oppressing the constitution and doing his best to put this country in the worst condition it could possibly be in and not crumble. He isn’t done yet.
How any halfway literate and functioning person can find Carter worse than these 3 is beyond belief…
I'll wager most who are piling on were in diapers or not even zygotes yet.
Had the failed raid been a success, he would be thought of as a hero.
I disliked his politics, but I couldn't dislike the man.
I'm trying to remember the time he publicly rebuked Clinton/Obama/Biden for their nonsense.
Exactly, but dont worry, he was a good man
He was a decent man, but it is agreed he was a poor president. What all the Carter haters forget is that he ain’t nothing compared to the other 3. Bash him all you want but don’t lie about who was the worst…
I think it's easy to forget the situation that Carter inherited from Johnson ,Nixon, and Ford. The Arab oil embargo preceded Carter, the defeat of the USA by Vietnam preceded Carter. America was demoralized and beaten down when he took over. I never voted for him and I believe he was in way over his head but all indications are that he is a decent and humble man.
I would think it might be time to "judge not, lest ye be judged". There are folks here ready to send someone to hell that maybe ought to get their own house in order and also remember there is a judge that cares not about their opinion or mine.

Early Saturday morning??? Not make it to his last Sunday which some will see as good and extol.... Liberal Socialist Democrat............... Nuff said......
EXCLUSIVE: Jimmy Carter's smiling, man-of-the-people image that saw him carry his own luggage was 'all show', say ex-Secret Service agents who claim ex-president was 'rude and short' and 'talked down' to soldiers
He cultivated the image of a jolly populist who grew up on a farm in Georgia, helped run his family's peanut business, and championed the working man.
The presidency 'is a place of compassion,' Carter famously said in accepting his nomination for a second term at the 1980 Democratic National Convention.
'My own heart is burdened for the troubled Americans. The poor and the jobless and the afflicted...' he added.
But behind the scenes, it was a different story.
In fact, 'Carter was just very short and rude most of the time,' according to one Secret Service agent.
'With agents, he'd just pretend like you were not around. You'd say hello, and he'd just look at you, like you weren't there, like you were bothering him.'
Carter actually told Secret Service agents and uniformed officers he did not want them to greet him on his way to the Oval Office.
It was apparently too much bother for him to have to say hello back to another human being.
It's ironic that after he left the White House Carter became a true humanitarian.
He established the Carter Center to promote human rights - even earning a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He was also dedicated to the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity and he and wife Rosalynn were known to strap on their own tool belts to help build affordable homes.
But in White House years Carter was known by agents as aloof and unapproachable and apparently did not have much use for the military either.
Although he was a Naval Academy graduate himself, he 'talked down to the military, just talked like they didn't know what they were talking about,' one agent said.
'Carter didn't want military aides to wear uniforms,' former agent Cliff Baranowski recalled.
His icy demeanor would make him the most detested commander-in-chief by Secret Service agents of all US presidents in recent memory.
Aside from giving directions, Carter never spoke to him, he says.
Carter tried to project an image of himself as a man of the people by carrying his own luggage when traveling. But that was another charade.
When he was a candidate in 1976, Carter would carry his own bags when the press was around but would ask the Secret Service to carry them the rest of the time.
As president, Carter — code-named Deacon — orchestrated more ruses involving his luggage.
'When he was traveling, he would get on the helicopter and fly to Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base,' says former Secret Service agent Baranowski.
'He would roll up his sleeves and carry his bag over his shoulder, but it was empty.
'He wanted people to think he was carrying his own bag.'
'Carter made a big show about taking a hang-up carry-on out of the trunk of the limo when he'd go someplace, and there was nothing in it,' says another agent who was on his detail.
'It was empty. It was just all show.'
Carter would regularly make a show of arriving early at the Oval Office to call attention to how hard he was working for the American people.
'He would walk into the Oval Office at 6am, do a little work for half an hour, then close the curtains and take a nap,' says Robert B. Sulliman Jr., who was on Carter's detail.
'His staff would tell the press he was working.'
Another Secret Service agent says that at other times, he could see Carter through the Oval Office windows dozing off in his desk chair while ostensibly he was working.
'Carter was a phony, an absolute phony,' an agent says.
'When he was in a bad mood, you didn't want to bring him anything,' a former Secret Service agent says.
'It was this hunkered-down attitude: "I'm running the show." It was as if he didn't trust anyone around him. He had that big smile, but when he was in the White House, it was a different story.'
'The only time I saw a smile on Carter's face was when the cameras were going,' says former agent George Schmalhofer, who was assigned periodically to the Carter detail.
Perhaps because of his aversion to the military, Carter refused to let the military aide with the nuclear football stay in a nearby trailer when visiting his home in Plains, Georgia.
'Carter did not want the nuclear football at Plains,' a former agent says.
'There was no place to stay in Plains. The military wanted a trailer there. He didn't want that. So the military aide had to stay in Americus.'
The town is a 15-minute drive from Carter's home.
'Carter didn't want anyone bothering him on his property,' the former agent explains. 'He wanted his privacy.'
In the event of a nuclear attack, by the time the military aide brought the nuclear football to Carter at his home to launch a counter-strike, the country would have been wiped out by nuclear-tipped missiles.
Terrence Adamson, Carter's lawyer, denied that Carter refused to let the military aide stay near his residence.
But Bill Gulley, who was in charge of the operation as director of the White House Military Office, confirmed it.
After he was voted out of office, Carter occasionally stayed at Blair House, the townhouse the General Services Administration maintains for former presidents across the street from the White House.
The townhouse's walls are adorned with large photos of former presidents.
Checking the premises, GSA managers found that when Carter was visiting, he would take down the photos of Republican presidents Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon and decorate the townhouse with another half-dozen photos of himself.
After each visit, Charles B. 'Buddy' Respass, then the GSA manager in charge of the White House, became irate because GSA had to try to find the old photos and hang them again.
Through his lawyer Adamson, Carter denied this.
But Lucille Price, the GSA manager who reported to Respass, said: 'Carter changed the photos... He didn't like them [Ford and Nixon] looking down at him. We would find out he would put photos of himself up.'
If Donald Trump had half the Character of Jimmy Carter, he may have had a successful Presidency in the ways that truly matter, rather than being the embodiment of the ignorance, bigotry, and hatred that seems to have poisoned the minds of many on this Board. Quite sad.

This is the thing I remember the worst. It was bad. Presidents do not set interest rates however. Appealing populist candidates are always favored by the real powers behind the throne. Jimmy was a naive lad from down home, let into the Trilateral Commission by the Coca Cola boys who knew he would play ball. I've wondered if the economic hardships under Carter were intentionally engineered by the Cabal to loosen up Americans taste for looser monetary policy and the runaway "inflation" we have today. He did not cause the oil embargo either. Iran would have released the hostages earlier giving Carter a feather in his cap if not bribed to postpone that accolade for Reagan.
