#1 Jimmy Carter's greatest accomplishment was ushering in Ronald Reagan for 2 terms. Other than that the American taxpayer funded a simple life for him and his wife. It probably turns out to about $200K per wood project for Habitat for Humanity.

#2 On the one hand, I didn’t care to hear from Mother Theresa’s detractors upon her death. On the other hand, I didn’t care for the nobody can speak against McCain because he’s dead policy. From a policy standpoint, I liked nothing that Carter did after he was voted out. He seemed inept when he was in office. I support what he did regarding Desert One. For what they had at the time, I thought it was a good shot. He may have been a jerk, but his presidency seemed to be less consequential with regard to the Deep State as opposed to Nixon creating the DOE and EPA. In 50 years he is Millard Fillmore. People will write books about his importance. No one will read those books.

I submit this as his epitaph.

#4 I always hear people say he meant well but he was a Democrat so I won't even give him that much. Let him fade into obscurity where he belongs.

#5 It's worth remembering he was a sort of inflection point. Before him, there were lots of "conservative" democrats. After, fewer all the time until we get to the ravening progressive horde of today.

If Nixon hadn't f*cked up, Carter would probably never have been president.
