#3 A good Christian Man.
That did not belong in DC.

Yes, there are widely mixed reviews of his Presidency.
Yes, he had some successes, and Yes, he had some serious failures, while in office.

But most of his greatest accomplishments and greatest DC Swamp created problems were after he left office.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Cater.
Rest In Peace.

I don't know, but - just to be on the safe side - visit your family MD.

#6 I started to think more kindly of Carter after his presidency because of charitable work with Habitats for Humanity. Then he started his long demented slide into aiding and abetting the scum of the earth in foreign affairs. Good riddance as he goes to another judgement over his life's works.

#7 Say what you will about Obama and Biden, Lord knows there is a lot to be said, but in my heart of hearts, Jimmy will always be Worst President Ever.

#9 While he did many things that were good in his lifetime, his initial push for universal health care in the 70's was the eyeopener for who he actually was.

#11 badanov, #2, I just ate breakfast and you show me that? Gag me with a spoon. That's just as bad as Hillary.

#12 Maybe some of you don't remember Lyndon Johnson. I dunno, maybe you do. But I'd rank him as the worst president in my memory; crooked, war monger, manic depressive, Great Society guns and butter asshole. He ruined the country's economy while tearing it apart with his ill-advised adventure in Vietnam. Sometimes I think we still haven't recovered from his time in office. That's when inflation really got going and it hasn't stopped since.

Biden ties for second with Baraq Obama. The only difference between those two is that Obama was awake.

Carter is a distant third.

Bill Clinton deserves an honorable mention for his discovery that illegal immigrants could be registered to vote and then persuaded to vote for Democrats. Before then, California produced politicians like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Sam Hayakawa, George Murphy and my all-time favorite Pete Wilson. California turned blue after Clinton left the border open.

If you wanna go back before my time, Franklin Roosevelt was probably the worst ever.

Of course, that doesn't let Carter off the hook. Carter could proclaim himself to be a born again Christian all he wanted but, as far as I'm concerned, he was just another Democrat.

I can easily remember three main failures of the Carter administration: 1) It's the economy, stupid. See Malaise. 2) Panama Canal. 3) Iran.

Then there was the USSR which I contend would still be in business if Ronald Reagan hadn't defeated Carter in 1980.

Sorry. I do not mourn his demise.

#13 Nice reminder about LBJ Abu. Obama, Biden, Carter, Clinton, FDR, Wilson, the Evil Pantheon of Democrat Presidents...

#14 Ref #12: FDR was in his 4th term when he died. Had he not died, he might STILL be president.
