The misinformed hate Carter - like pb's comment that the gas crisis was his fault. He took over the GOP's disastrous policies and had to straighten them out (like virtually every other D president, btw). Carter actually had us on a path to requiring NO mideast oil by 1990 - which would have eliminated virtually all the US vs. terrorist activity of the past 30 years. He's also the ONLY president to actually sign a mideast peace treaty that worked for decades. This is the real reason why history has treated him poorly - because he didn't want to play the stupid MIC war games. He cut into their profits and they have never forgiven him. He's also the only president to give support to a local population in a war against Russia and actually WIN.
As an ex-president he is easily by far the best we've ever had. No others come anywhere close with all their fake "charity" foundation slush funds subsidizing their already obscene wealth.
Also I notice Curt didn't bother to offer up his favorite. So before he tries to save face, I'm going say right now you can't pick Biden, Curt - because he's still president and has plenty of opportunity to make his already sad failure of a term even more disastrous.
