Jimmy Carter, the GREATEST president EVER

At least he was, until the GOP destroyed his legacy with Reagan, our WORST president EVER. How do I figure, allow me to explain.
I latterly have to cry and hate when I think about Jimmy Carter's presidency, over everything America and the world would be right now but is not since Jimmy Carter's legacy was burned in oil.
Ask most people what they think of Jimmy, and most will say he didn't do much, but that is so very far from the truth!!! He was the best president ever as far as the world is concerned, but most of us don't know this, thanks to the media we see, and thanks to the GOP for destroying his legacy.
What legacy you are wondering, crazy you have to ask, but this is America, land of the lobbyist, and since you really don't know, I shall tell.
Jimmy Carter's legacy that did not happen; "to make America a solar power nation by the 90's." How? Jimmy put solar on the white house and gave oil energy credits to solar, with these new energy credits for solar, solar business were popping up like pop corn, until the GOP stepped in with the worst president ever for the world. Reagans first order of business, remove the solar panels from the White House and take the energy credits away from solar and give them to oil again. Taking these credits away from solar put 90% of the new jobs Jimmy created out of business because the banks would not back these new businesses without the energy credits, just what Reagan and the oil loving GOP wanted! Reagan also took all chances away from the world to have no air and water pollution, Jimmy had insured no air or water pollution, at least nothing close to what we have now for pollution. Thanks to the oil owned GOP and Reagan, people are dropping like flies from second hand oil smoke now, but would not be if Jimmy's legacy wouldn't of been burned in oil. Sure we hear about second hand cigarette smoke on our Hitler media but no or little talk of all the deaths being caused from second hand oil smoke. Thanks a lot GOP and our Hitler media, you both suck for sure!
To Jimmy Carter;
It is crazy what we let our media and country become since You. Yes some of us know the truth about your legacy, way sad the majority does not, thanks to our oil owned GOP and their Hitler media.
This is why I now get my news from Comedy Central, my comedy from Fox News and my political views from God(good for the majority), I believe you always did. Thank you President Jimmy Carter, for all you tried to do for the world's majority.
Sincerely,
unitedmajority

Sorry, As long as any President (whoever) gets elected via the "money" and serves the "money" while in office and has little or no foreign exposure or knowledge (because the person has to be born here) it never can be a good President. Nowadays you need a "world vision" President, who is aware of the world structure and culrures. Not as done right now; bully your way around the world; we will dictate others or invade them if we do not like them. Carter was President at the time the computers and cell phones were still being developed; the world has drastically changed because of the internet etc., so you need a President who adapts to that (not NSA style) but a broad minded person with world/international vision.

You guys are right, Carter was a very good person who was a terrible president. I also believe that he was probably the last president who did not sell out to the big money lobbyists. He just wasn't enough of a crook to be a good president. That is sad, but true.
Other than putting solar panels on the White House, and getting very old while in office, I don't know what Unitedmajority thinks he did that was so great. I know that united is a big fan of solar power, and I think he lets that keep him from seeing the entire picture. Actually unitedmajority seems to be OBSESSED with solar power.
President Carter's legacy will always be the hostage crises, but also the lousy economy, unemployment, skyrocketing gas prices, interest rates which kept many from being able to buy homes, and I will always remember his energy policy: turn your termostat down and put on 2 or 3 more sweaters and pray for warmer weather.
Billy Beer! I used to own a can or a six pack...don't know what ever happened to it. I was never brave enough to drink it.

Sandbagged by his own party, reviled because he embarrased those who do not want peace in Middle East to do a deal with Egypt and make peace, and hated by big money who could not buy him. Also, do not discount that our own military also sandbagged him. They knew there are dust storms in the desert. Inadequate equipment (dust filters? hello!) purposely allowed? Our meticulous military who see every contingency? Who are they kidding. They didn't want a success. They were already shilling for Reagen. A couple of dead grunts? Small potatoes in their scheme of things.
Remember the Maine? A few dead sailers (the officers were conveniently attending the Ambassador's party in Havana) is a small price to pay for a Pacific empire and control of Puerto Rico. We have a long history of this stuff. Pretty sad when ones own party turns against them, it is one reason I haven't called my self a Democrat in many years, but trust me, I don't call my self a Republican, never did. Now, I see only one cause or party to fight for, the majority, since neither party works for us.

I don't disagree with any of the comments posted above. For what it's worth, though, a compilation of political surveys gong back more than 30 years puts Jimmy Carter in 27th place out of our 43 Presidents. For a lot of reasons, George W Bush comes in even lower, at 34th.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States
Nixon did a good job of turning America against the Republican Party (he is ranked as #32) , which helped Jimmy get elected. Unfortunately, Carter became ineffective because of (1) the 2nd oil embargo (2) the Iranian hostage and (3) hyperinflation in the American economy.
Harry Truman left office with a 22% approval rating, the lowest on record, but his reputation over time has improved to the point that he is now ranked #7. As a result, it's possible Jimmy will be looked on more favorably in the future, but it's going to be an uphill climb.

I like your info, I for one look at Jimmy Carter more favorably the more I learn about him. An up hill climb you are right as far as the majority is concerned. Had Jimmy Carter been elected for a 2nd term, most likely he would of been shot, solar had to be killed in America one way or another. Maybe I am to harsh on Reagan, in a way he saved Jimmy Carter's life by beating him. Sad the outcome of Jimmy's legacy, still he will always be number 1 in my eyes for what he tried to do, keep the world pollution free.

Jimmy Carter turned 95 on on October, and I continue to believe that he should be ranked higher that he is. For one thing, he is probably one of our more intelligent presidents, since he had a degree in physics, and worked in the Navy's nuclear submarine program. Interestingly, he was the very first president to be born in a hospital. Carter’s tenure as president was most notable for his alternative-energy policies, racial-equality programs and friendly overtures toward Russia. He was instrumental in brokering a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt and signed an arms-reduction treaty with the Soviet Union (SALT II). These triumphs, however, were overshadowed by his inability to lead the nation out of a crippling energy crunch caused by the OPEC oil embargo of 1973. In 2002, Carter won the prestigious Nobel Prize for his efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights and to promote economic and social development. Today, Jimmy still teaches an occasional Sunday School class - and he still builds houses for Habitat for Humanity. And .. He's 95 years old. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/jimmy-carter-is-born
