RIP
Of the many presidential bios and memoirs I’ve read, none match his with respect to the level of political naivety that came through.

You need to attend lectures on class. It's a topic about which you know very little.
No it didn't but it did lose the Democrat strangle hold on rural America and flipped it to the Rs...
It sure would be nice if this thread could stay focused on honoring President Carter’s lifetime of service to his country and his fellow Americans.
Yeah I was sort of wondering whether I had forgotten the part about the popular revolution in the ussr in the 70s. And it’s not like Andropov succeeding Brezhnev in 81 reflected some sort of popular liberalization
But Rush acted like a POS most of his life.
Rush single-handedly made being a conservative cool again.
I’m 100% serious. Every thread immediately turns into partisan sniping. The man served as an officer in the United States Navy. And regardless of what anyone thinks of his presidency, he did more humanitarian work than any other former President in my lifetime.
If there’s a Heaven, I hope he’s up there eating peanuts and sipping sweet tea.
Well, me too.
But that doesn't mean I can't take a parting shot about the "wearing sweaters" thing.
Rush was a horrible human being along with trump and Murdoch a veritable hall of fame of shitty human beings.
Yeah, what a dumbass he was. In the first days of his term in office we faced brutally cold weather and natural gas shortages that forced widespread school closings. And he had the audacity to suggest that people turn down their thermostats a couple degrees and put on warmer clothes.
What kind of moron thinks that Americans would be willing to make small sacrifices for the greater good?
And then the "malaise" speech, and then he was attacked by a killer rabbit, and then he parted his hair the other way, and then the Iran hostage rescue fiasco.
Nice guy, but not presidential.
Been to former USSR many time. Of course you are a bigger expert.
That is sure alternative history.
The swamp rabbit incident was pretty funny.
Oh, that it were still so.
I’ve had to accept that this is now just a quaint and silly notion from a bygone era.
He was the first US president I'm old enough to remember. My first recollection is him giving a speech/answering questions about SALT Treaty in his expressionless, crazy low-key talking manner. I thought "this is the most boring thing ever"
But, I do respect him...seemed like an honest and honorable guy

A true story about Rush. I was listening to his show probably a dozen years before he died or whatever it was, out of pure entertainment factor. He came on and said that he personally, and for his business, preferred it when the Democrats were in power. He said it's so much easier to be on the offensive, and attacking, than it is being defensive all the time. It was better for his business, more ads and more viewers when he could attack rather than play defense. I was thought that was interesting. Bonespurs and the cult are going to find out about that in the next 4 years.
Imagine spending 100 years doing good, through sickness, through old age, through the death of your wife. Giving back on some of the most profound ways possible. By far the most giving president ever.
Then some dipshit compares you to Rush.

Actually he was a pretty damn good president considering the effed up mess he inherited from Nixon and Ford.
Guy was a straight up Mark Twain character. Peanut farmer and all. I'm going off memory here, but I also believe that he was the last president to not have been born in a hospital. You couldn't "Ah Shucks" Jimmy more if you tried.
The worst modern-day president, and for that matter the worst president of all time, is Donald Trump who trashed one of the most basic tenants of our democracy (the peaceful transfer of power) with his reckless attempt to overturn the results of an election.
Rush? As in Limbaugh?
Surely you jest. Considering an entertainer equal to a President? Only if you’re talking about the future president.
Limbaugh was an entertainer, making money from his sardonic humor. If you believed him, I am sorry for your ignorance.
You’re comparing Rush Limbaugh to Jimmy Carter?? You’re a 14 carat f$&khead.
Real Christian’s do more than go to church and carry a Bible on Sunday.
Real Christians live the life every day.
Did Carter ever hawk Bibles when he was in the WH?
Say what you want about his presidency. He was the most honorable president and did the most good post preident. If he wasn't president probably couldn't have done as much good post president.
One of the reports is he still lived in a very modest home. There were 2 homes on the property. One for the SS detail and his house. They were both about the same size.
