RE:"His presidency was certainly flawed. But his work with Habitat for Humanity and foreign election monitoring put him in the very upper echelon of ex-presidents. Where most of them retire to the golf course or go on the lecture circuit, Carter has remained involved and active in trying to solve many of the most pressing human problems"

I liked him a lot. Unfortunately he will be remembered for several, not so good things.
1. Being dragged through the sand by the Ayatollah Khomeni (sp)
2. Using the Olympic games as a political tool, denying innocent Athletes who trained much of their lives to participate in the Olympics.
3. Double digit inflation resulting in a prime rate of 21%.
