Served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981.
Heβs an amazing human being, who has devoted his post presidency to helping others through Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center. At almost 95 years old, heβs still going strong and can run circles around Donald Trump aka Captain Bone Spurs. Despite being the oldest of the five living Presidents (Jimmy Carter himself, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump), he does the most good for the world, and works the hardest.

Thirty-ninth President of the U.S., seving from 1977 - 81, and most likely the last U.S. President with real integrity we will see in our lifetimes. Though he was unable to solve a number of domestic issues, he was a true world leader and put human rights on the map. Brought back dignity, decency and respect to the Oval Office, after the Nixon scandals. Deservedly won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
History will judge President Jimmy Carter well.

Former US president, founder of the Carter Center β a non profit organisation that advances human rights and alleviates human suffering.
A first class US president, a true statesman who is unfairly characterised as a βfailureβ by those too stupid to understand the catastrophic economic impact of events beyond the control of any US president β the 1979 energy crisis that in months trebled the price of crude oil created enormous problems for Carter as it would for any president.
Jimmy Carter brought decency, integrity and honesty to the White House β assets lacked by his successors.

Jimmy Carter = very weak, ineffective president. Overall his presidency was a failure. He was unable to generate confidence and optimism while he was in office.
He lacked the ability to work with Congress - even members of his own party - Democratic - couldn't work with him. Apparently, he antagonized many members of congress with his preachy & pious attitude.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy's 1980 presidential race against an incumbent Democratic president served notice of the discontent that many rank & file Democrats had for President Carter.
History will view the Carter presidency as below average in terms of the presidential rankings of presidential achievement & performance.
As a former president, Jimmy Carter has done many many good things - in fact, he has been a far better former president than he was as president. His humanitarian projects have been superb - he deserves much credit & respect for his post-presidential work. In many ways, Jimmy Carter has - with much success - defined a first class extremely productive post presidency.
Jimmy Carter is a very honorable, decent and kind human being -- he was perhaps too kind & gentle for the rough & tumble world of presidential politics.
It was an honor to see President Carter receive the Nobel Peace Price - a well deserved honor for all of his humanitarian work.
Jimmy Carter will be remembered more for his post presidential work and acheivements - than for his time as the 39th president.
