Lesley Stahl speaks to the former president about his new book, "White House Diary," in which he admits mistakes and blames Ted Kennedy for delaying comprehensive health care.
He was too Christian for Americans. He was against the Mayan genocide in Guatemala (as charged by The Hague) for the fruit lobby but reagan had no qualms, Death squads in Central America trained in GA were sent to slaughter Jesuit Priests and nuns who had introduced Democracy which is unforgivable in the US hemisphere as US hates democracies (see how they are called socialist by the media monopoly in the oligarchic states of america).

Many failure. President Reagan said " peace through strength". These are good presidents - Kennedy, Bush 1st, and 2nd, Great presidents, Reagan and Trump. Now someone has the ball to stand up and fight Putin and Xi Jinping of China.
He has more than redeemed himself in the eyes of my generation. His life outside of Presidency has been the embodiment of everything The U.S should stand for Remember, aging doesn’t have to be a bad thing, stay optimistic, hard-working, and calm, and everything’ll be fine.
Jimmy Carter is a good and honest man! He’s matter of fact and not hesitant to state his opinions, and I love that about him! I did not realize he had accomplished as much as he did, and solar panels were cool!
My father lost the farm because of the 1980 grain embargo. I didn't like Carter back in the day. In saying that I don't think we should abandon the good things he did as president. The Department of Education is a good thing. His energy policies were good and forward thinking. If you have a 401K plan at work you can thank Carter for that.
I don't know how you can bring yourself to say such forgiving words. I really admire that you can be so kind despite what your family has been through. Wow. May God and the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Ghost be with you and your family.
@@kobushauman3310 There is a saying that sometimes you have to be bitter before you can get better. On September 11, 2001 I started to change a lot of my world views. We would also be worth millions today if we had been able to keep the land. I can honestly say that everything I have I earned it. I didn't inherit a lot. When a family looses something like that you learn what is important. You also learn who your real friends are and that is priceless! 1980 has been 41 years years ago. There were also issues with Reagan's farm polices that didn't help. We went through bankruptcy and auction in 1986. Both Reagan and Carter shared solid Christian values as they were both pro-life. The grain embargo was bad although it also helped to slow inflation. Retail food prices came down and it may have help millions of people the ability to afford food. There was a time when we had double digit inflation. People had it it bad all over the place, yet that is now the good old days. In 1979 we thought 79 cent a gallon gas was way too much.
Now I can't really comment on Carter's presidency first hand, as I was born '85, and I'm German. But from what I have read and seen about him, I would describe him as literally a man ahead of his time. He is a true gentleman with honor, dignity and morale. And what happened is that America was just simply not ready for his moral compass, yet.
I use to have the most utmost respect for this man, as he was once responsible for saving many lives as a nuclear engineer. HOWEVER, I have sadly since learned that he was nothing but a traitor and sell out to his own country, just as McCain was. Every single president since JFK, with the exception of Regan and Trump, are/have been players for the deep state.
Worse president this great nation ever elected. He should be held responsible for those who lost their lives in twin towers, Afghanistan, and others effecting USA. He betrayed shah of Iran which resulted in creation of Ben Ladin. I think survivors of twin towers and those honorable individuals in uniform who lost their lives in order to keep America powerful and Americans safe. May he pay for them someday. I do not think he should be a resident of heaven

It's saying a whole lot about our world and the state we're in, that a president who didn't want to go to war has to defend himself for it and is considered to be a failure or weak. Also the fact that his merits were largely overlooked, proofs that politics is about image in the first place. Luckily he got what he deserved after all, but it's a shame he couldn't fully accomplish what he had set out to do as a president.
I wish Carter had been a better President. I think every American would agree he Never Wore his Big Boy Pants He was happy being Limp Wristed. If he had been a Man and stood up I think others would have respected him.
Wow, you two must be Bush fans. To say what u did about Carter says a lot about both your characters. People like u and your bush mentality is bringing us down. We're in bad shape and it's your how yall think & act. Your click: Nixon, Bush1&2/chainey, Trump. Smh..cancer.
@@JK-gu3tl It had everything to do with those issues and others. Nevertheless, his character as a Christian man cannot be disputed. I respect President Carter immensely. Even got to meet him once as he was coming out of the Carter library while I was walking in. He took his time speaking with me and was very kind, gracious, cheerful and humble.
Three cheers for our submarine commander President and the good work he has done to promote a better world. The fact that he gets the cold shoulder from other dawgs says a lot.
Jimmy Carter is a man who sticks to his beliefs, you have to admire that in him. But he was a weak president that was stubbornly bent on doing things his way, as opposed to listening to others around him. My impression of Pres. Carter was that he was a man of great ego trying to make you think he was humble - which I'm convinced he is not, underneath it all. His great self-pride was that he (in his mind) was humble and he worked very hard to give people that impression. This attitude produced a feeling that he was not very proud of America or himself and, in turn, he made Americans feel badly about themselves.
Gasoline shortages, 15% interest rates, high unemployment . High inflation, millions of manufacturing jobs lost, energy blackouts and Iranian hostages that he left for Ronald Regan to deal with. A complete and utter failure as President. That’s why Jimmy lost the election , he was a complete useless bumbling idiot.
Carter was and is a good man. He just became president at the wrong time in this country and unfortunately it must've been more difficult than he expected
President Carter came to my hometown Bardstown, Ky in 1976 and it was awesome . The whole town was there . He had a motorcade coming down our Main Street and he stopped and shook hands with it seemed like everyone. He was so gracious and friendly . I’ll never forget his visit here . It’ll go down in history of our town . President Carter is one of the greatest humanitarians of all time . He is a good , genuine person and I have the highest respect for him .
In addition to obeying the law, telling the truth and keeping the peace (this is what WalterMondale said about the Carter administration) he passed more important legislation than any recent President. I think the only reason he hasn’t been declared a great President is because he is still alive and and the powers that be don’t want him to have any more influence than he already has.I think it’s amazing how much he accomplished, even though he admitted to making mistakes. Every day he was President, I was proud to be an American .
Actually you are correct & I sincerely appreciate your kind comments regarding President Carter. Actually he was a great President - 1 of the best the U.S. has ever had.
What a man. So consistent and principled. You know where he stands on any issue. Bernie Sanders has a whiff of Carter in him in this respect. His full recognition will come posthumously, the young generation will be pointed towards his memoirs. A true role model.
After watching a documentary on the Carter President I came away being proud of the first president that I ever got to vote for. 1976 and I was a new 18 year old voter and happily voted for him, and I’ll admit that after his first term I voted for the other guy! I was really dumb back then!
Mike Hofer Were happy with the gasoline shortage and lines? We’re you happy with 15% interest rates and high inflation? We’re you happy he failed to get the Iranian hostages back? We’re you happy with millions of people loosing good manufacturing jobs that paid their bills?
You're excellency support through health link Africa God bless you Jimmy Carter for the great initiative Mr former president of America Thanks from south Sudan young man
imad Yes he was so great. I really enjoyed waiting in lines to buy gasoline, 15% interest rates and watching this inept, incompetent Jimmy Carter do nothing about the Iranian hostages.
Could you imagine how much further we as a Nation would be with Renewable Energies if President Carter had just 4 more years. We probably wouldn't have spent so much money on the Military Industrial Complex and our infrastucture today would not be crumbling.
Thank you for your comment regarding President Carter. YOU LITERALLY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.!! You're spot on when it comes to our environment & crumbling infrastructure. President Carter likely would've been elected to a 2nd term had it not been for William Casey bribing the Iranians to hold the U.S. hostages longer - that's actually a fact.
2/19/23. I am saddened to hear that this man, a rare moral human being known as President Jimmy Carter is in hospice care. We all know what this means and it is sad to know that all the work this man has done in his life after the presidency will be finished. Sad
nah not hardly.one of the worst and weakest presidents ever.History already looks on him unfavorably.Americans always do better under Republican presidents too
Nightingale387 Obviously you weren’t around when Jimmy Carter was a complete and utterly failed President. 15% interest rates, inflation, joblessness, energy shortages, gasoline rationing, did nothing while 2 million Cambodians were slaughtered in a genocide.
@@GotoHere Preach! remember too we had a 'crisis of confidence' and he told us we were to blame.This from the man of the people carrying his own empty garment bag for a photo op,who couldn't bring the hostages home,etc 2nd worst potus ever
I was around! There are more aspects to a man than making a great economy or the price of gas. As far as his leadership, he admits to his faults, weaknesses and limitations as president, therefore it is not necessary to comment on what was acknowledged. I believe when a man is able to reflects on his life, be it good, bad, or indifferent... says a lot to me about a mans character. Despite “popular beliefs”, the ability to admit to ones weakness does not show failure ...but that of strength! I see in Pres. Carter, a man who is humble and one who shows grace and mercy... a man who truly fears God. But if leadership is all about the economy and the price of gas, then we now have the “greatest” leader in the world! I guess it doesn’t matter if this leader sows division, fear and hatred along racial and party lines... refuses to condemn white nationalism/supremacist, sexism... or one who entrust foreign governments over our respected NSA...or condemned a respected POW for beginning captured during service to his country or one who threatens the boundaries of our constitution! You know, I can keep going on but if you are going to define a leader based on our economy then I guess I have nothing else to say except God bless the USA 🇺🇸
I greatly admire this man. I’m not a fellow southerner, I live in the carribean as a native born. But I’ve read his books and biography, man’s got more meat on his resume than on his dinner I can tell you that.
I m russian living under dictatorship s ruling.i have tears in my eyes every time i watch jimmy carter.a decent man.you americans are lucky to use to have him as a leader.some are effective some aren t.yet decency is what counts more.god bless usa to promote democratic values around the world
I wish more presidents, both current and former, would embrace his idea of fiscal conservativism. He costs the taxpayers far less than most current and former presidents.
Kathryn Aldrich-- You have GOT to be kidding! President Carter was, and is, a good man, but public spending (domestic) by the federal government during his administration was higher (adjusted for dollar value) than during any 4 years before or since. Carter's installation of those solar panels cost MORE in labor and material than the energy savings they provided over the two and a half years of their existence.
@@crocodile1313 would you have a source for that claim? We installed them at our church and they basically paid for themselves far sooner that we had thought - by one year.
Thank you for your kind comment regarding President Carter. From George Washington, who became President in 1789, all the way until President Carter left office 1/20/1981 the total U.S. Federal National Debt was only $910 billion dollars...not bad at all for almost 2 centuries & 2 world wars. Then look what Reagan did - more than TRIPLED the national debt to over $2.7 TRILLION DOLLARS in just 8 years. Also look at what G.W.Bush did to our national debt - the American taxpayers has to bail out the crooks on Wall Street & the corrupt banking industry etc for trillions because of his reckless deregulation policies. The true fact is the GOP is responsible for our huge national debt.
A great man! A man anyone can trust; you might not like his thoughts but you can trust him! He did not fall far from his mom's tree and I don't know his dad. All the best to the Carters, forever; true children of God.
both Mr and Mrs carter, are classy people they stand alone when it comes to recent Presidents of our time, even a blind man can see they are normal everyday people who don't put emphasis on pompous fanfare like all the others, wish there were more like him.
He did his bidding and acted honorably. His administration was a hallmark, no matter how dire it ended. Many pro labor and pro consumer decrees were passed thanks to him and by heeding advice from Ralph Nader. He acted on his own terms and could not be bought. After him it was the end of the Republic as we knew . He should not have any regrets
Carter never dashed for cash post his presidency. You can’t say that about the living former presidents. I’ve grown to like the guy. His relaxed, honest and insightful ways are refreshing.
I truly wish that America had given this man a second term, I had the pleasure of meeting him when I came to America to visit my Uncle, we went out for lunch together and he happened to be in the same restaurant. I had to go over and say hello and he was amazed that someone from Wales (and relatively young) knew him and wanted to talk to him, lovely, lovely man.
Why? he basically handed Iran over to the #AyatollahKhomeini ( not to mention, losing the Panama Canal Zone ) , and it took Reagan to have the hostages returned [ on his first day ! ]
@@Perririri 1. If the hostages were released on his first day, it's safe to assume that he no role other than a passive one (i.e., to be the receipient of the tacit message that Iran had the power to bring down a U.S. President. 2. Iran almost DID bring down Reagan's administration. Do a search for "Iran-Contra Scandal" "Boland Amendment" "Arms for Hostage" "Oliver North" "Tower Commission", etc. The Republicans, having learned their lesson from Watergate, managed a much more successful cover-up. Those who were convicted of perjury or of withholding or destroying evidence were eventually pardoned by Bush the First in 1992, on the advice of ... (drum roll, please) ... oh, my goodness, William P. Barr!
I did not realize Teddy Kennedy, did that to X President Carter, I can not wait to read the book, I have one book,he writes very well, And a humble person, and I have always had a good feeling about him.
Those litte tri-scooters are cute. And you can see how thy encourage/stimulate lateral muscles to engage. Increasing stability and strength when you're off them. A good thing at 80 plus.
I consider myself a republican, but Carter is one of my favorite presidents. I admire his down to earth approach to governing and his willingness to make controversial decisions no matter what it may cost him in popular support.
I’m a Republican but I will always stand up for President Carter. This President got more done than most other Presidents who came after him. He was the most decent one out there and even today.
Carter’s achievements are often overlooked though many mistakes were made . This coupled with huge bad luck and aspects of his ‘malaise’ speech sealed his fate in 1980. The divisions in the Democrat party stoked by Ted Kennedy was the final nail in his coffin in 1980.
he sounds right!! I wish we could get him back!! no war!! right on!! I don't know enough about hum to make a sound judgement, and I love the Kennedy's but from what I see here he was really progressive and really wise about so many things that are important now. Solar Panels on the white house, carrying his own bags, and talking about how many of us worship things -why is any of that bad!? I'm sure he had faults but all of the things that people b**ched about seem like really positive things!!
I was too young to understand what was happening during his presidency. Like him or hate him for what he did or didn't do, I do not question this man's integrity and authenticity. I found it interesting how he stopped "Hail to the Chief." Even if the president of the US today asked to stop it from being played, I would have a problem with it.
I am so glad that his record is being reanalyzed. President Carter wasn't a bad president. He was a complicated president. His post-presidency is to be admired.
Ah yes, Jimmy Carter. America’s bizarre experiment in electing a man with morals and honesty as president.
IKR??? I could not have said that better. You never ever had to count the silverware when Jimmy was in your house.
He was too Christian for Americans. He was against the Mayan genocide in Guatemala (as charged by The Hague) for the fruit lobby but reagan had no qualms, Death squads in Central America trained in GA were sent to slaughter Jesuit Priests and nuns who had introduced Democracy which is unforgivable in the US hemisphere as US hates democracies (see how they are called socialist by the media monopoly in the oligarchic states of america).

I admire and respect President Carter. He was one of our best Presidents. I remember voting in my first Presidential election for him in 1977.
Jimmy Carter is a man who sticks to his beliefs, you have to admire that in him. But he was a weak president that was stubbornly bent on doing things his way, as opposed to listening to others around him. My impression of Pres. Carter was that he was a man of great ego trying to make you think he was humble - which I'm convinced he is not, underneath it all. His great self-pride was that he (in his mind) was humble and he worked very hard to give people that impression. This attitude produced a feeling that he was not very proud of America or himself and, in turn, he made Americans feel badly about themselves.
I was born during his administration (1978)
Gasoline shortages, 15% interest rates, high unemployment . High inflation, millions of manufacturing jobs lost, energy blackouts and Iranian hostages that he left for Ronald Regan to deal with. A complete and utter failure as President. That’s why Jimmy lost the election , he was a complete useless bumbling idiot.
@@GotoHere- Exactly, and more!
@@GotoHere Agreed!!!...But nice man
Nothing but love to President Jimmy Carter. Incredible man.
Yes true
Such a good and honest man, taught me a lot about the importance of humility.
Jimmy Carter was progressive before people knew what progressivism was. He was a great president.
Jimmy Carter was the Fred Rogers president. What a wonderful man. Wish we could have him back.
Carter was and is a good man. He just became president at the wrong time in this country and unfortunately it must've been more difficult than he expected
President Carter came to my hometown Bardstown, Ky in 1976 and it was awesome . The whole town was there . He had a motorcade coming down our Main Street and he stopped and shook hands with it seemed like everyone. He was so gracious and friendly . I’ll never forget his visit here . It’ll go down in history of our town . President Carter is one of the greatest humanitarians of all time . He is a good , genuine person and I have the highest respect for him .
Wow! 85, I want to keep going like that. God bless you President Carter.

The carter diary will be a great read. Thank you president carter.
In addition to obeying the law, telling the truth and keeping the peace (this is what WalterMondale said about the Carter administration) he passed more important legislation than any recent President. I think the only reason he hasn’t been declared a great President is because he is still alive and and the powers that be don’t want him to have any more influence than he already has.I think it’s amazing how much he accomplished, even though he admitted to making mistakes. Every day he was President, I was proud to be an American .
Actually you are correct & I sincerely appreciate your kind comments regarding President Carter.
Actually he was a great President - 1 of the best the U.S. has ever had.
We love you Jimmy Carter, 🦁❤
During Jimmy Carter's time we were not bullies, that's the fact!
well no....what we were was weak.democrats almost always are Reagan-now there was a president and a leader with balls!

Thank you for being down to earth. President and Mrs. Carter 2 truly amazing people.❤
What a man. So consistent and principled. You know where he stands on any issue. Bernie Sanders has a whiff of Carter in him in this respect. His full recognition will come posthumously, the young generation will be pointed towards his memoirs. A true role model.
A great example of what it is to be a great American leader by example.
A man who lived his morals. LOVE!
After watching a documentary on the Carter President I came away being proud of the first president that I ever got to vote for. 1976 and I was a new 18 year old voter and happily voted for him, and I’ll admit that after his first term I voted for the other guy! I was really dumb back then!
Mike Hofer Were happy with the gasoline shortage and lines? We’re you happy with 15% interest rates and high inflation? We’re you happy he failed to get the Iranian hostages back? We’re you happy with millions of people loosing good manufacturing jobs that paid their bills?
You're excellency support through health link Africa
God bless you Jimmy Carter for the great initiative Mr former president of America
Thanks from south Sudan young man
i love seeing him talk to his daughter, its so wholesome "absolutely!"
Pure honesty, rarely seen in many politicians today
I love his humility! Others need to take note.
I have the most respect for this president he is #1 president in my book the media failed him he was not giving the credit he really deserved
imad Yes he was so great. I really enjoyed waiting in lines to buy gasoline, 15% interest rates and watching this inept, incompetent Jimmy Carter do nothing about the Iranian hostages.
Kinda sounds like our current President situation.
The Mean Arena I’m not doing any of those things today and I’m investing
What a great man!! Ethics and integrity. He didn't sell out.
Thank you for your kind & accurate comments regarding President Carter.
Actually he was a great President & he is always a man of ethics & morals.
Could you imagine how much further we as a Nation would be with Renewable Energies if President Carter had just 4 more years. We probably wouldn't have spent so much money on the Military Industrial Complex and our infrastucture today would not be crumbling.
Thank you for your comment regarding President Carter.
YOU LITERALLY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.!!
You're spot on when it comes to our environment & crumbling infrastructure.
President Carter likely would've been elected to a 2nd term had it not been for William Casey bribing the Iranians to hold the U.S. hostages longer - that's actually a fact.
Bless you Mr. Carter. I wish you many more years of peaceful life.
Awesome information about our former president of these United States of America ,Jimmy Carter. Thank you for your many positive efforts.
Dear God in heaven this man is truly who we need as President of the United States TODAY! 😢 BLESS YOU MR. CARTER!
nah he is known for being ineffectual and a weakling potus and rightfully so. He earned it
You must be very young.
@@yankee2666 I am 65 and remember him very well. Man of integrity and wisdom!
He was one of the worst!
@@karengossett564 I remember him. He was a total joke.
I never knew how good of a person Jimmy Carter was
Indeed a great President Jimmy Carter ...I love him and wish him longer life to inspire the World with his Love & Leadership.
Jimmy Carter on most things: peace and love
🥰🥰🥰
Jimmy Carter when asked about Ted Kennedy: ☹️☹️☹️
2/19/23. I am saddened to hear that this man, a rare moral human being known as President Jimmy Carter is in hospice care. We all know what this means and it is sad to know that all the work this man has done in his life after the presidency will be finished. Sad
God bless you Pres. Carter! We need more men like you in the White House now, more than ever!
nah not hardly.one of the worst and weakest presidents ever.History already looks on him unfavorably.Americans always do better under Republican presidents too
Nightingale387 Obviously you weren’t around when Jimmy Carter was a complete and utterly failed President. 15% interest rates, inflation, joblessness, energy shortages, gasoline rationing, did nothing while 2 million Cambodians were slaughtered in a genocide.
@@GotoHere Preach! remember too we had a 'crisis of confidence' and he told us we were to blame.This from the man of the people carrying his own empty garment bag for a photo op,who couldn't bring the hostages home,etc 2nd worst potus ever
I was around! There are more aspects to a man than making a great economy or the price of gas. As far as his leadership, he admits to his faults, weaknesses and limitations as president, therefore it is not necessary to comment on what was acknowledged. I believe when a man is able to reflects on his life, be it good, bad, or indifferent... says a lot to me about a mans character. Despite “popular beliefs”, the ability to admit to ones weakness does not show failure ...but that of strength! I see in Pres. Carter, a man who is humble and one who shows grace and mercy... a man who truly fears God. But if leadership is all about the economy and the price of gas, then we now have the “greatest” leader in the world! I guess it doesn’t matter if this leader sows division, fear and hatred along racial and party lines... refuses to condemn white nationalism/supremacist, sexism... or one who entrust foreign governments over our respected NSA...or condemned a respected POW for beginning captured during service to his country or one who threatens the boundaries of our constitution! You know, I can keep going on but if you are going to define a leader based on our economy then I guess I have nothing else to say except God bless the USA 🇺🇸
@@mattthecat03 sure pumpkin
I greatly admire this man. I’m not a fellow southerner, I live in the carribean as a native born. But I’ve read his books and biography, man’s got more meat on his resume than on his dinner I can tell you that.
Must've been pretty damn hard to have good morals in a government that's virtually immoral.
Thank you for this. It's given me a greater understanding of a man I was perhaps too young to understand at the time.
What a smile and genuiely cool guy.
I m russian living under dictatorship s ruling.i have tears in my eyes every time i watch jimmy carter.a decent man.you americans are lucky to use to have him as a leader.some are effective some aren t.yet decency is what counts more.god bless usa to promote democratic values around the world
I wish more presidents, both current and former, would embrace his idea of fiscal conservativism. He costs the taxpayers far less than most current and former presidents.
Kathryn Aldrich-- You have GOT to be kidding! President Carter was, and is, a good man, but public spending (domestic) by the federal government during his administration was higher (adjusted for dollar value) than during any 4 years before or since.
Carter's installation of those solar panels cost MORE in labor and material than the energy savings they provided over the two and a half years of their existence.
True loved his steady hand, ET smiled on him too
@@crocodile1313 would you have a source for that claim? We installed them at our church and they basically paid for themselves far sooner that we had thought - by one year.
Thank you for your kind comment regarding President Carter.
From George Washington, who became President in 1789, all the way until President Carter left office 1/20/1981 the total U.S. Federal National Debt was only $910 billion dollars...not bad at all for almost 2 centuries & 2 world wars.
Then look what Reagan did - more than TRIPLED the national debt to over $2.7 TRILLION DOLLARS in just 8 years. Also look at what G.W.Bush did to our national debt - the American taxpayers has to bail out the crooks on Wall Street & the corrupt banking industry etc for trillions because of his reckless deregulation policies.
The true fact is the GOP is responsible for our huge national debt.
I think he was a strong leader! We need more people like Carter.
Looking back one of the greatest presidents.
A great man! A man anyone can trust; you might not like his thoughts but you can trust him! He did not fall far from his mom's tree and I don't know his dad. All the best to the Carters, forever; true children of God.
He was ahead of his time and more progressive than what the country was ready for
both Mr and Mrs carter, are classy people they stand alone when it comes to recent Presidents of our time, even a blind man can see they are normal everyday people who don't put emphasis on pompous fanfare like all the others, wish there were more like him.
A fine man and the least "political" president. If only more Americans were like him.
I love how Ros stands very strongly confident by her man's side!💯💯💯❗
He did his bidding and acted honorably. His administration was a hallmark, no matter how dire it ended. Many pro labor and pro consumer decrees were passed thanks to him and by heeding advice from Ralph Nader. He acted on his own terms and could not be bought.
After him it was the end of the Republic as we knew . He should not have any regrets
My first Presidential Election, and I voted for Carter twice, because of his honesty & integrity.
A man of truth, integrity and honesty - he's called Jimmy Carter.
Carter never dashed for cash post his presidency. You can’t say that about the living former presidents. I’ve grown to like the guy. His relaxed, honest and insightful ways are refreshing.
As a black man he was the first president i voted for love Obama but Carter was in my time and was my favorite president i loved him and had hope!
I truly wish that America had given this man a second term, I had the pleasure of meeting him when I came to America to visit my Uncle, we went out for lunch together and he happened to be in the same restaurant. I had to go over and say hello and he was amazed that someone from Wales (and relatively young) knew him and wanted to talk to him, lovely, lovely man.
I loved and appreciated President Carter for the selfless and humanitarian person he was.
Never forget in October 1977 Carter toured the South Bronx, viewing it as the worst neighborhood in all America
As republican I respect the man.
Why? he basically handed Iran over to the #AyatollahKhomeini ( not to mention, losing the Panama Canal Zone ) , and it took Reagan to have the hostages returned [ on his first day ! ]
@@Perririri 1. If the hostages were released on his first day, it's safe to assume that he no role other than a passive one (i.e., to be the receipient of the tacit message that Iran had the power to bring down a U.S. President. 2. Iran almost DID bring down Reagan's administration. Do a search for "Iran-Contra Scandal" "Boland Amendment" "Arms for Hostage" "Oliver North" "Tower Commission", etc. The Republicans, having learned their lesson from Watergate, managed a much more successful cover-up. Those who were convicted of perjury or of withholding or destroying evidence were eventually pardoned by Bush the First in 1992, on the advice of ... (drum roll, please) ... oh, my goodness, William P. Barr!
YES true Great Carter
Reagan was a fool actor
Watching this has been very inspirational!! What a MAN! I really think out for-fathers would have been proud of this president in moderation times!
I did not realize Teddy Kennedy, did that to X President Carter, I can not wait to read the book, I have one book,he writes very well, And a humble person, and I have always had a good feeling about him.
Those litte tri-scooters are cute. And you can see how thy encourage/stimulate lateral muscles to engage. Increasing stability and strength when you're off them. A good thing at 80 plus.
Jimmy Carter is not only a great man, he was a great president and he was wholly correct in excoriating his critics because they deserved it.
I love him, we need more people in our world with compassion, especially in these most unusual of times ♥
Lol 😂 I bust out laughing at when I saw this , I will always love This guy
Wish him the best.
A good man.
I consider myself a republican, but Carter is one of my favorite presidents. I admire his down to earth approach to governing and his willingness to make controversial decisions no matter what it may cost him in popular support.
A very interesting. Clip from CBS. Carter’s reputation gets better as the years go by.
My favorite President (after FDR). He was, and still is, The Man.
I’m a Republican but I will always stand up for President Carter. This President got more done than most other Presidents who came after him. He was the most decent one out there and even today.
Jimmy's kind and caring. His downfall with the media and DC was when he showed sympathy towards the Palestinians.
Carter’s achievements are often overlooked though many mistakes were made . This coupled with huge bad luck and aspects of his ‘malaise’ speech sealed his fate in 1980. The divisions in the Democrat party stoked by Ted Kennedy was the final nail in his coffin in 1980.
Thanks for this interview - he is great!
the embodiment of a public servant and statesman
he sounds right!! I wish we could get him back!! no war!! right on!! I don't know enough about hum to make a sound judgement, and I love the Kennedy's but from what I see here he was really progressive and really wise about so many things that are important now. Solar Panels on the white house, carrying his own bags, and talking about how many of us worship things -why is any of that bad!? I'm sure he had faults but all of the things that people b**ched about seem like really positive things!!
He was/Is too decent of a Human Being for politics.
I was too young to understand what was happening during his presidency. Like him or hate him for what he did or didn't do, I do not question this man's integrity and authenticity. I found it interesting how he stopped "Hail to the Chief." Even if the president of the US today asked to stop it from being played, I would have a problem with it.
When will there be another Carter !
A brilliant man of heart and hope and universal love and joy.
I think the best person America had as a president!
I know he wasn't the most popular President, I truly believe he was our most kind & Genuine!!
I am so glad that his record is being reanalyzed. President Carter wasn't a bad president. He was a complicated president. His post-presidency is to be admired.
He was ahead of his time. Good bless Jimmy Carter
My favorite President!
