#1 I have a deep respect for the man and his many godly and humanity accomplishments, before and after his time in the WH. As a Governor, he also functioned well.

But, now that we have the BIDEN/COUP in the WH, it is clear Mr. Carter is not longer the most lacking president to have been in the WH. in the last 100 years.

#2 Carter was evil.

There, I said it.

His left leaning, pretend Christianity persona was the perfect Trojan Horse for the 1968 crowd to front end load the apparatus of state with many toxic things that would eventually blow up and badly damage the nation.

CRA made possible the snowballing of the real estate loan industry into the worst economic downturn (2008 housing crisis) since the Great Depression, via the establishment of the precedent that the government could force banks to make bad loans on the basis of politicians trying to buy votes from subsets of the populace. Once that precedent was established, it was only a question of when, not if, such an economic collapse would occur.

A federalized Department of Education has taken away local control of education, resulting in billions of dollars wasted, recruitment/grooming of children into pedophilia and questionable decisions regarding sexuality, and replacement of real education with Howard Zinn style cultural Marxist indoctrination.

Great expansions of affirmative action especially for women made it impossible politically in our time to reform or sunset it, or to even have a grownup discussion about what metrics can be established to determine if it is even necessary. Neither political party dares to even bring it up, not because of minorities but because white women will instantly abandon that party. As a result, we now have governments and corporations pushing "equity" which is a deadly combination of communism and eternal affirmative action.

All of this and more can be lain squarely at the feet of Carter and the people surrounding him in the late seventies.

As for gutting the military, to fund welfare and unionized public school teachers and alphabet agency clown farm cogs, well, that speaks for itself.

I'm sorry for the grieving that his family will experience when he passes but the man was evil. No amount of building a few houses for a few poor people can wipe that away.

#3 Most of the evil done in this world is not done by evil people, but by stupid people who believe that they mean well.

5. He gave away the Panama Canal.

#6 He gave us Mugabe and all that came along with that. God will forgive him, so I feel no need to.

#7 He turned a cold shoulder to the Shah of Iran and watched as the Ayatollahs took over.

#9 I’m sorry for the grief of those who love and admire him. I will not be among them.

It is because of his attitude and actions toward Israel that the Jews, as a block, did not support his reelection ambitions.

#10 When someone makes a big deal about telling you he's a born again Christian it's a dead giveaway that he's a hypocrite.

#11 There have been others since then, but in my heart, Jimmy Carter will always be Worst President Ever.

Go read "Guests of the Ayatollah" by Mark Bowden if you need reminders.

#13 Deeply flawed, but most critically, arrogant in his certitude of his "morality". Not a thief, nor a globalist, but a classic demokrat control freak. 4th from the bottom, followed by LBJ, the Magic Kenyan and Jojo.

#14 Kind of mixed on the amnesty. It's because of that mess in SE Asia that there is no longer military conscription. Those that fled did so at some risk, not like the rich, connected folk such as Dubya and The Donald who managed to finagle their way out. At least John Kerry got a nice medal out of it.

#15 Folded like a cheap suit and did nothing after failed 'Operation Eagle Claw' (US hostage rescue in Iran) in 1980.

#16 Anybody remember the SNL skit with Dan Ackroyd giving the SOTU speech and talking around his hemorrhoid problems?

#19 There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

- Brutus

#20 As I carefully said, I liked what he did before & after failing in the WH.

#21 NN21, I approved of his charitable works in house building and started to have a better view of Carter as a person ...then his foreign affairs 'adventures' ruined any positive feelings for him.

#22 Obviously benefited from CAR T, which is beyond the financial means of any but the most connected cancer patients.

Time to die, Jimmah.

#24 I'd still take him hands down over the buffoon and puppet we have occupying 1600 Penna. Ave. now.

#27 Have to dig a deep hole to get under that bar.

I actually voted for Peanut the first time because of his Zero based Budgeting fraud.

His actions in office convinced me to never vote for a Dem again. Was he that stupid or that controlled by his puppet masters?

#28 He questioned food subsidies and some other golden calves of the establishment. In the end, he had no constituents. I don’t think he made a bunch of money out of the gig. I have him ranked above Clinton, Biden and Obama in that order. I have not slotted LBJ Nixon, Bush elder or younger. Too many puzzle pieces are missing at this point. Nixon’s stock is in the rise. Ford probably gets an incomplete unless he knew about the JFK assassination.

#29 Ford sure stumbled into that job. Agnew resigned, then Tricky Dick.

And now I can't help but think of Chameleon Harris. Good gawd.
