Possibly the greatest man to ever be elected to the office of President. Certainly the greatest in the modern era.

I'm sorry, but no. I will say that Jimmy has done great things with his time post presidency, but his actual administration was so flawed it led to a Reagan landslide. You should check out this documentary about the Iran hostage crisis, Carter is a direct factor in the start of the Iranian revolution that has turned it in to a theocracy.

I'm a leftist so I want to like him, I really do. But frankly the more I read, watch and learn about the Carter administration the more I understand how we were afflicted with a "Reagan Revolution". Jimmy had good intentions and was/is a good man, but his failures is a big reason democrats shifted to centrism with Clinton.

I didn’t say he was a great president. I said he was the greatest man elected president.

I shouldn’t have been so cryptic… I was speaking more to his decency as a human.

Ah, I can see that in your original comment. Well, if that's the case then I totally agree. 👍😉❤️
