Didn’t share the same political views with him but he was a good man and a very good woodworker.

Good man.  Good sailor.  Far out of his depth as president, as many others have been.

 

Great humanitarian.

He was also the only president to ever enter and work on a highly radioactive nuclear reactor that was damaged and compromised.

I believe he prevented a meltdown catastrophe.

That's because he was a Nuclear Engineer during his time in the Navy. He actually understood better than any of his advisors what was really happening.

Yes, he did. President Carter was also a brilliant engineer and courageous Navy officer.

He helped broker a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt that is still observed today.

 

Most importantly, Jimmy Carter created the pathway, and need, for Ronald Reagan to be elected president in a landslide victory.

I once saw, in person,  the dining table he made from American walnut, with an incredibly precise, 3' wide American (bald eagle) Emblem in the center.  V. nice!

thank you , i had forgotten he was involved in the abraham accords , and you are correct on laying that platform , id not thought about that , he was a very reigious man , i think that worked against him on the world stage at that time , but as a man it made him one of the most likable and well respected presidents in everything he did in retirement he accomplished a lot and set a goal that inspired a lot of poeople in the habitat for humanity area and he did it hands on as a volunteer not just by throwing tax money at it , he inspired private sector individuals , i had and have a l0t of respect for him

 Jimmy Carter was an awesome human being. People respected, trusted him. He was honest, kind. Nobody i knew ever questioned his integrity.

Which I think often worked against him. He got too involved and interested in the details and managing them and lost sight of the overall picture.   Or became distracted from the overall picture. 

 

People blame him for inflation, but forget the group fornication of an economy he inherited from Ford.  We were already in a recession with inflation starting to run away. Remember Ford and hus Whip Inflation Now buttons?  And his tax hikes to fight inflation and almost immediate tax cuts to boost the economy?  (I remember one of my friends in high school showing up wearing one of those.  "You've got to be kidding!  You don't really believe that,  do you?"  To which he replied, "Sure I do.  'Won't Indict Nixon'!")

One thing that I do really fault him for is the trend he started for former presidents of his party trying to stay in the public view, acting as if they still have some sort of power or authority, inserting themselves, unasked, into international politics.

I don’t think he purposely ruined the economy , he was just over his head.
