Jimmy Carter

Recommended Posts

The Camp David Accord is worth mentioning, but I can't think of much else.
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

hey- what about Habitat for Humanity?



Jimmy has been a wonderful supporter of HfH.

He lends his name to the Jimmy Carter Work Project every year. I have been involved with HfH since '95 and volunteered for 2 JCWPs. For an ex Prez, he does a lot to help instead of raking in money for speaking engagements. Agree or not with his policy stands, he has done a lot of good for people in need.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Interesting how many of the religious right conservatives here run down Jimmy Carter, a man who actually lives his faith and most of them cant even come close.

What he said.
After a lifetime of stellar acheivement, he didn't succeed as President, so the American people dealt with it as befits a healthy democracy. He then picked himself up out of that dust, and went on trying to devote the remainder of his life being a quality human being, in large part for the benefit of others. Jimmy's tried to Walk the Walk. He earns 8 or 9 cheers for every 1 or 2 jeers he earns. I guess that makes him human. Not much honor in using him as a pinata.

How many are running him down because of his religion / charitable work?

Oh, wait... you meant what the best thing he did for the good guys.... shoot. I got nothing.



Shall we not forget many many other threads running the man down :S:S:S


Defending Hugo Chavez is religious/charitable work, now? Damn, I must really be behind the times.

What was the best thing he ever did?



Since he left office? A lot of this stuff:

[October 10, 2008]

Carter was on his way back from a private peace mission to Cyprus with fellow elder statesmen Lakhdar Brahimi of Algeria and Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, intended to give a push to talks between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders on a settlement to reunite the divided island.



What a selfish bastard; clearly he did that just to line his pockets. :S
Above is example of the 8 or 9 cheers he rightfully gets for every 1 or 2 jeers he rightfully gets for stuff like Chavez.

As far as what he did in office, well, he left office in 1981, so there's no timeliness to bashing him now. Your OP might as well be a drunk post for all the sense it makes.
