He faced many, many challenges that were the result of the nation having just emerged from the Vietnam war and from the Watergate nightmare. Much of the negative image of Carter is the product of the propaganda that was part of the Reagan campaign against him in 1980. Could Carter have done more? Sure... But name one president - any president - who has done more after leaving office to improve the lives of people all over the world than has Carter. He is a true leader, a man of compassion and vision. He exemplifies the type of statesman that we are sorely missing in our current political climate. Jimmy Carter deserves the respect and admiration of everyone for his many, many years of public service.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('40','Jonathon'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('40','Jonathon','Jimmy Carter was by no means \"a pretty horrible president\".

My point here was: he's able to look past the useless moralizations and do what <em>needs</em> to be done. That alone puts him leagues ahead of Bush or McCain.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('39','Paul Wilden'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('39','Paul Wilden','His presidency was a mess and yet he\'s still far better than Bush.

Carter was a pretty horrible president, if not one of the top 5 worst in history. It is only well after his actual presidential term has he used his name and influence as a past president to get involved in foreign politics. If anything he has had a pretty straightforward mission to make his name remembered for more then just being one of the worst US President. Sure he has accomplished a lot with his southern twang and disarming personality, but his presidency was a mess. --- Political Disgust<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('38','Political Disgust'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('38','Political Disgust','lets be honest.
