He was the greatest President that we never appreciated because Ronnie and the right wing press lied about him. We bought it (or many of us did at the time).
WaPo was one of the worst. It was my local paper back then and even I, a teacher, was ready to vote against him until a call from a Dem teacher group that reminded me that he established the Dept of Education. Now I appreciate his stand against participating in the Olympics, putting solar panels on the White House roof, not lighting the National Christmas tree and many other things. Why do people we see on tv seem so shiny and perfect? I believe Reagan was the first president to take the entire month of August off and lied about how much work he was doing. Volunteering in some way to get out the Democratic vote is important NOW!
Thanks MaryPat. It looks promising. Idjt showed his ignorance early with comments on Andrew Jackson and Frederick Douglass. As I remember it, there were no concerns about his mental state or headlines in msm.
* тАЬPresident Carter: The White House YearsтАЭ (2018) by Stuart Eizenstat тАУ this is the most recent (and the most in-depthтАжbut not the most comprehensive) biography of Carter. Although its title suggests an exclusive focus on his presidency, Eizenstat covers CarterтАЩs life from his earliest years up through his single term in the White House.
Carter is the model of an elder statesman and great humanitarian. I believe today is this humble man's birthday. If ONLY all Christians could be like him, not the CINOs that have overrun the US today!
Carter was a great president and sadly one term. As a former president he has worked hard for humankind.

Read Andy Borowitz's "Profiles in Ignorance."
