best _former_ president of all time.
- overfeed 8mo agoI won't stand for Carter slander: he was a darn good president too. What he wasn't good at, was politicking, and that was because he also was a good man, to a fault. He gave an honest answer to a question on if he had ever lusted after a woman who was not his wife, and reaped a scandal.
- assaddayinh 8mo agoHe created modern iran by trying to ditch the shah?
- jakobnissen 8mo agoNo way that created the modern Islamic Iran. Carter supporter the shah. To the extend USA decided the outcome, it was by supporting the shah for too long, and for the US role in the 1953 coup. But IMO the USa played third fiddle in that story, this was between Ruholla and the shah
- dyauspitr 8mo agoI just listened to a the rest is history podcast and he had a few things he was lacking and wasn’t particularly flattering but he was an upstanding citizen at the very least.
- wbl 8mo agoHe's helicopter crash away from being remembered as a daring wartime president.
- rayiner 8mo agoPretty good president overall. Too bad he told America what they didn’t want to hear, like they had to make tradeoffs regarding energy use.
