A very nice man who should have never been President. Yet, he is still better than the choices we have today.
Not a great pres. But a great man.
If those helicooters didnt fail on the hostage rescue attempt i wonder if it goes different for jimmy.

Amazing resilience….making a mockery out of hospice care. God bless.
Happy Birthday President Carter!
After saying that, Carter did some great work with Habitat for Humanity.
But, he was a horrible President and he opinions on foreign policy are atrocious. At times, it seems like he was more comfortable being around our enemies than our friends.

Legendary American life. From WWII to Trump. His rise politically to win the Presidency was also truly remarkable.
Sorry boomers—but he actually deserves the credit for things wrongly attributed to your boy Reagan.

Much of what you've heard about Carter and Reagan is wrong

A disingenuous and an accurate article. Even Democrats agree that Carter was not a good president so you can stop right there.Sorry boomers—but he actually deserves the credit for things wrongly attributed to your boy Reagan.

If you recall, the threat of SDI (Strategic Defense initiative, or Star Wars), forced Russia to back down and ultimately begin negotiating with the US on a nuclear disarmament plan. So yeah, he spent less money, but it was about the strategy not just building up arms, which was the problem.
Let’s just honor someone who showed dignity while President and class/giving back the rest of his life. Happy Birthday!
Try harder.

An amazing human being! We should all strive to do as much good in this world as Jimmy has done.
Carter failed to inspire and was the victim of many developments outside his control. Every president is dealt a hand. His wasn’t great. And he didn’t play it all that well. I think his much maligned malaise speech was an apt metaphor for his presidency; an inability to have his message resonate with the public.
Lived the rest of his life with purpose.
Happy birthday Mr President.

Ridiculous. If there is one thing about Jimmy Carter that stands out it's character.
This is a tribute to a great human being. Probably far superior to most of us. It serves little purpose now to sully his life based on political opinions.
Be better guys!

This is not a biography on his life. It's a tribute to a man who is a far better human being than most any of us who is about to reach a major milestone.
Maybe step back a little and just appreciate that.
My wife and I went to one of his Sunday School classes about 10 years ago. One of the best decisions we ever made. The man is incredibly humble.
One of my old neighbors, an army guy working out of ft monmouth and far from a lib, told me that the copters they used were the wrong ones to work if a desert is involved. I have looked this up on the web many times and never saw this being discussed. Wonder if anyone ever heard this.
you post these and I responded respectfully. We celebrate him because he was President. A view on his presidency while lauding his life is completely appropriately. Perhaps not to your liking but I was respectful. And for the record I voted for Carter twice.
Never heard that. I believe they were Sea Stallion helicopters and for them to have been selected they would have to have been the recommendation of our combined military leaders. Their value was their capacity, long range and the fact that they launched from an aircraft carrier and would presumably return to one.

Probably not, he was who he was, and his tendency to micromanage got in the way for him. That said, it wasn't like he planned that mission and lacked a filter for the helicopters air intake or sufficient redundancy.
Well, here’s what Phil Gramm—former GOP congressman and senator— had to say in today’s WSJ. Guess they didn’t teach you history or economics at the Hall…
Me neither. And i have looked. It was a long time ago and he moved away. As i remember he said those copters would suck more sand into the engines.
