President Jimmy Carter 1924 2024

Well stated-as you say so often, history is rarely black and white but various shades of gray. I guess that statement could be applied to the Carter presidency at first glance but then seeing what was really done in a deeper dive. Thanks for the video.

About time he's dropped as 100 year old

Jimmy Carter was a Good Man in a job that was hard unforgiving and not so good he left with his soul still intact not many presidents can say the same thing may he rest in peace

Third worst president of the last 100 years, after Biden and Obama. Sad to see his passing, but his legacy is dreadful save for his involvement with Habitat. Wrong about everything, criminally weak president, anti-Semite.

Carter was a lousy President -- Not as bad as Biden--I remember when he cancelled the US Team 1980 Olympics in Moscow protesting the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan .. Another weak move by a weak President

A great man! I did not view him negatively, even during his presidency. A man of principles (what a novel concept!), like Joe Biden! I hope & pray that this breed of politician is NOT extinct!
Requiescat in pace! 🙏🙏

He also tried to eradicate the guinea worm. When he first encountered people suffering from it, in 1986, there were around 3.5 million cases in 20 countries. This year there were only 7 recorded cases in 2 countries. His wish was to outlive the disease. The WHO goal is to eradicate it by 2030.

I think it's good you gave a lot of information about the Carter presidency. Hindsight can affect peoples' perceptions in cases like this. However, I think you went out of your way to defend Carter against some deserved criticism. I do recognize he did some good things, like the Camp David Accords. But your presentation didn't seem middle-of-the-road. I think Carter's legacy with his humanitarian work after his presidency shines through much more clearly and with much more consensus. Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.

A flawed president, but a definitely good human being. Rest in Peace Mr. President

he also encurage saddem hussin to laungh the iran iraq war in september 1980.

I also admire President Carter after he left the white house. Although he was in my opinion an incompetent hapless president, he was a great humanitarian, and a thoroughly decent and good man.

I loved this video and the great respect you paid to perhaps the best human being we have ever elected to the White House. He truly was a good person. And also thank you for increasing my gratitude for his life for now knowing he is responsible for me being considered a hipster as fat balding guy of 58 years just cause I love micro-brewed IPAs!!!!

Reagan entered politics and did well. Carter entered politics and did good.

Dear TCW, Best dam Ex-President this country ever had. Demeaned by the Regan political "dirty tricks group", he received blame for the administrations before him, and he was a compromise politician in an ever increasing period of partisan politics. We could have used him now.

He abandoned Iran and now we face the consequences.

A good human being. A poor president.

One of the greatest Americans to have ever lived, but a mediocre president.

Just wanted to say I really enjoy this channel that is all

Useless trivia. He fought, unsuccessfully, to be listed on the ballot as Jimmy Carter. Instead his full name, James Earl Carter, appeared. He was afraid of being associated with James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr King.

As a president he’s just a footnote, as a man he was fairly agreeable. Thank you for the Simpson reference.

Bad president, but a good man

RIP Jimmy Carter

The first US president to feel the impact of no new Godzilla films

Good video.

Also, Billy Carter. Just saying.

One thing to always remember is the problems that a president will inherit from the previous administration. Nixon inherited the Vietnam war while Carter had to help America heal after this war.

Awful, awful president. But, if he didn't come, there would be no golden area of Reagan!

I think a good subject for The Cold War series would be Jimmy Carter's Naval career. Most tributes just quickly gloss over it to get to his political career.

While I was no fan of his presidency for the most part, I think he was an inherently decent man that did a lot of good in the world over his life. Which may be why his presidency was mostly considered a failure. Inherently decent people are usually not a good fit for politics, unfortunately.

He was decent man. God Bless him. It goes one of our best. Rest in peace

As one wag once said: Carter was eminently qualified to be a great next door neighbor….. but not a President. I lived through the Carter Malaise, he bungled the hostage negotiations.. was told by experts how to handle Iran but Jimmy knew better. Thought he was a good ex-president his humanitarian work was great.!

Lousy president then lousy president now. Otherwise he wouldn’t have lost to Reagan

The common perception is that Carter was a man of the highest principles perhaps too high for retail politics.
Not so. This secular saint axed restrictions on tobacco sales when it interfered with his reelection as governor

Always a good video. Happy New Year!

The president who created the modern conflict in the middle east, rest in piss.

IPA Drinker: Hey! What the hell?

One of the worst presidents in American history. He gets more credit for the Camp David Accords than he deserved, especially considering his anti-Israel rhetoric.

He deregulated the airlines, too. If you can afford to fly, it's largely because of the Carter Administration.

If I remember correctly, he could have served on a muclear sub (got interviewed by Rickover) but quit to take over his family's peanut business as his dad died.

His only actual fight against inflation was capping the military's pay for 3 years. This, because I was in the military at that time, resulted in my enlisted members qualifying for food stamps. I wish him very hot headwinds.

From what I've heard about Jimmy Carter, he was too moral and good for the corrupt, undemocratic politics of the United States. It's probably for the best that he was a one term president because it would have been worse for him to become a corrupt politician to stay in office.

I'm here for the IPA hatred.

No other president would have had the guts to walk - with his wife - into the Three Mile Island reactor. Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Bad president, good guy.
Let's not worship at his altar, though.

Carter was the last President left from the Cold War period

Carter is certainly an influential man.. But I tend to agree with historian Rick Pealrstein’s view on Jimmy Carter in that he was more like a conservative then he let on, exemplifies the growing disconnect from elite liberals to the traditional constituent base, and actually was a proponent of austerity. Anyone agree or disagree? Thoughts?

Can you do a video on the Indian liberation of Goa? As well as the legal arguments for and against? Thanks!!

Carter was a victim of Fed policy and economic malaise. It’s part of the economic cycle. I am no fan however. Pulling out of Moscow Olympics was ineffective and foolish. The Olympics is the only international confab that is supposed to to be non political. Ruined the lives of hundreds of American Olympians. His idealism was his downfall.

Shout out to peanut farmers worldwide

Not a great president but amazing human being. Rest in peace.
