Jimmy Carter

Born October 1, 1924 in Plains, Georgia, James Earl Carter, Jr., a Democrat, was elected President in 1976 after serving as Governor of Georgia. Carter lost his re-election bid in 1980 to Ronald Reagan due to an ailing economy and high unemployment. He retired to Georgia, where he continues to live with wife Rosalynn.

as much as i appreciate the person of jimmy carter today - he was a very weak president. not the right one in that position in that time. during the soviet union tried to increase its influence in the third world and also in europe he was so passive. he didnt realise that the time of a peaceful cooperation and agreement, that the time of relaxation between east and west went by. a bit i suppose he was the perfect picture in the mirror for a nation that was weakened by its vitnam-trauma. also unlucky when he tried to free - much too late - his people captured in iran. economically it was the same kind of stagnation. i think it was not accidental that reagan follwed him into power. he was the complete opposite in a time when leadership was needed very much.
