 | Drummond (54) 02/27/2006 | The first and last president to try to clean the sleaze out of the CIA, and paid the price for it. Accomplished the longest standing peace in the middle east (Israel/Egypt). The victim of bad circumstances, and oil company manipulations.
On the down side, he did push the baillout of Chrysler who was in the tank precisely because it refused to acknowledge changing attitudes about fuel consumption. Continued to send aid to Samoza even as the regime was dying a well deserved death.

 | CanadaSucks (45) 02/16/2006 | An absolute weak president. . .a very good man. . .a boy scout in a back-alley fight- too nice for the job.

 | EschewObfuscation (61) 06/01/2005 |  I liked Jimmy Carter and I voted for him, twice. He's generally a religious and morally consistent man but he is still a politician. The former Governor of Georgia, swept through the democrat primaries in 1976 against formidable odds, surprising the old (increasingly liberal) guard of mainline democrats (Ted Kennedy) and sweeping past the incredibly inept President Gerald Ford to win the election. His mandate for reform and his blunt truth-telling was initially well received by Americans. But, when the USSR invaded Afghanistan in December, 1979, Carter (and the US) seemingly did nothing and as a result, looked very weak. We boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics, that really taught them. The Olympics were a resounding success, while our athletes, who had dedicated their lives training for years, sat and watched. The resentment, while not indicated in the US press, was palpable. When the Shah of Iran, a long-time ally of the US since WWII, was deposed, Carter refused to intervene and was repaid for helping the insurgency when they took our embassy staff hostage and thumbed their collective nose at the US. You're Welcome. At the end of his first (and, thankfully, final) term, his moral authority was indicated in negative numbers.

 | Donovan (130) 04/26/2005 | I agree with IJR, seems to be a better Ex-President than he was as President. He appears to be an honest and moral man and really had and has the Country's best interest at heart.

 | caligula (2) 04/25/2005 | Gets a 5 for morality. I guess that shows how important morality is for the presidency. An A+ person who was a C- president.

 | Jar-Jar Binks (16) 02/04/2005 | The last honest ex-president we've had. He promised never to lie to us and he kept that promise. What a great man!

 | abichara (60) 11/03/2004 | Jimmy Carter was high on integrity and principle, perhaps too high for politics. He just never swam well with Washington's culture. He felt that he was above all the petty parlor games, but the schmooze factor gets a lot done there. His foreign policy was weak, naive and inept. But yet I do think he is a good man who meant well; he just wasn't suited for the Presidency. He got there strictly because of the Watergate scandal.

 | irishgit (138) 11/03/2004 | An intriguing and honorable and fundamentally good man, a not particularly good president. Speaking as a retired political apparatichik, probably too good a man for elected politics.

 | Enkidu (37) 11/03/2004 | Jimmy Carter may be a first in American history for having more moral authority as an EX-president than he had while he was a president. The five stars is for the present. Quite an unusual, and honorable man; for a politician, this level of integrity is almost without parallel.
