Jimmy was ahead of his time. He did a great job with the resources he had available. His handling of foreign affairs was magnificent. People just didn’t understand how important his work was and is.
If his handling of foreign affairs was actually magnificent, the Iranian Hostage Crisis wouldn't have happened and the Soviets wouldn't have invaded Afghanistan.
@@PottatowNo. That's not true. Carter's achievements in office are now being acknowledged in hindsight. Historians are reappraising his presidency. What his detractors ( generally full time nobodies) fail to understand is that Carter was an amazing human being. He had a tough presidency and maybe his character made it hard to be president. He was a great governor in Georgia at a difficult time. Essentially what you and people like you think of Carter is of no consequence when it comes to assessment of this great man. Id prefer the opinions of Admiral Rickover, Willie Nelson and Hunter S Thompson. Those giants held Carter in the highest esteem.
He wasn’t, if you lived in the 70s, you would realize what a horrible president he was, completely incompetent and because of him we had double digit inflation, unemployment and high energy prices. Home mortgage rate rates were through the roof. There is nothing good about the man.
He was a wonderful citizen, husband and father. A terrible president, in far over his head. I voted for him, it was the first time I was 18 and able to vote. After the way he handled domestic and foreign policy, I voted for Reagan and never voted for a democrat again.
He absolutely was an incredible human being. He went out there himself and helped build houses for poor people. He resolved nuclear arms problem with N. Korea. YES: single-handedly and as an ex-president. He taught Sunday school every single week at his church into his 90s. No one comes close to Jimmy Carter post-presidency.
@wilnerolivier7971 Yeah. It resonates when he says "shah" and "Afghanistan" also. My folks liked to keep up with events, so the evening news and 60M was in the background a lot.

I now know that John Anderson was a representative for our country. Here's the wisecrack: he didn't use the GRECIAN shampoo formula to dye his gray hair red, auburn, brunette brown, or jet black. Will David Letterman chortle over this? It's about what the Representative John Anderson didn't do. 🤔
No he wont ever have his face on Rushmore but he was perhaps the most honest president ever and his post presidency contribution to humanity is second to none. RIP President Carter.
A good look back at 60 Minutes and the then Dan Rather...so Long ago. Jimmy Carter was a good man who did what he thought was right, and then went back home and did more, Imagine?
RIP, President Carter. Four years as a governor, four years as a president, additional decades serving in the military, Habitat for Humanity, international healthcare, and on and on. Thank you for being such a great role model for all of us.
My 2 hero's my dad , born in Richland Ga to Bobby Carter, my grandmother on Oct 1st 1924 and my dad's and my cousin Jimmy . The Carter side of the family which I have studied which My dad took pride in comes down to the foundation of Lillian Gordy , cousin Jimmy's mom also like my grandmother and my dad and his siblings born in the small town of Richland . Cousin Jimmy was raised by a woman who supported the " underdog , which at that time were the blacks " Jimmy was raised and befriended when he was a young boy by Rachael Clark a black woman who along with a church that the land was given to the black families . On that land is also a cemetery where Rachael is buried . And Rachael fished , picked cotton , and when Jimmy's mom worked 20hr shifts as a RN , Jimmy spent the night at Rachael's home , sleeping on the floor in the 1920's . No silver spoon in his mouth or heart . And have not even talked about how the Naval Academy shapes and molds a young person together with small town roots of close family . Carter side is close , but not perfect, but Jimmy is progressive , 1 step, 2 steps forward . 77 yrs to the same woman is beyond what most will ever have .
I loved and admired President Carter for his honesty, empathy, and humility. And he was NOT a bad president at all. The hostages crises took a while to resolve, but each and every one of them came back to their families without a military conflict who killed tens of thousands innocent civilians. President Carter championed humans rights and peace as president. And i think that is a great legacy. President Carter is my favorite president.
He was a bad president. With him denying his failures all throughout this interview, I imagine many who were suffering spat at their TVs when this aired. And here I thought the Dems denying how bad the economy actually is throughout the election cycle last yr was bad. Plus, the hostage crisis was resolved the moment Reagan finished the oath of office.
Me too. But, remember he and Mrs. Carter lived long, good lives, and he wanted to go home. Be at peace with that. He was. Get involved with doing good in your community and you will be doing j. Carter's work.
This was a typical hatchet job by Dan Rather. Jimmy Carter at this point was a failed president and a very vain man, but he was right on a number of issues, and he was right on the delegate count in 1980. Clearly, Dan Rather, who wanted a replay of 1968, so he could make Dan Rather the story as opposed to the nominee, tried to stir up a story that just wasn't there. President Carter did his best to move the Democrats forward, but pols like Ted Kennedy, Tip O'Neill, etc tried to keep the party in the old New Deal Days. Not until 3 landslide defeats did the party relent and let another Southern Democrat Bill Clinton make a try.
This is just like KTVU, a 2nd look. I've even seen the U.S. News and World Report front cover magazine that depicts a political cartoon about former President Reagan, getting on board the elephant that has a car steering wheel. Other candidates, such as Thompson and Connolly were also trying to get aboard. 🐘 😳 🙄 😐 😑 😬 🐘
Well by 1985 Reagan had won 49 states and came 1,200 votes away from winning all 50. Some of the interviewers by then may have been expressing their personal grief disguised as brutal questioning. Assuming they were not Reagan supporters. Same will happen with Biden. Media talking heads who hate Trump are going to be brutal to Biden starting in 10 days from now when he's out of office. Why? They'll blame Biden for the return of Trump.
Decent people ahould never hesitate to run for President, even if they end up not being entirely effective. The presidency needs a dose of honesty, integrity and faith.
31:26 and they gave him an F….Honestly this is a pretty scathing interview and critique of his leadership which is entirely justified and grounded. The saddest part is it’s all true! Pretty mediocre to bad president and a good post president. Had some tough curveballs and wasn’t able to weather it
He certainly wasn't a friend to Labor or workers in general and not surprised being a southern democrat. He De-Regulated Truck Driving and lowered Union membership immensely. And also started to make roads unsafe because of it.
Wow. He was so kind, gentle, steadfast AND CORRECT. Reagan in 1980 did begin the dismantling of AMERICA. By the slow drip of GOP we now teeter. And thru Mitch McConnel also. More to come. This interview😢
Rather's job wasn't to be Carter's BFF...Carter knew this and didn't get offended whenever a Journalist said something negative...he's not anything like Trump.
@adam-i5x6o what I mean to say is, is that I can't think of another president who would meekly sit there and allow themselves to give a *letter grade* as to their performance to a newscaster
No one better exemplified the tenets of Christianity than Jimmy Carter. He never believed in forcing his beliefs on anyone and saw the best in people. He was a Christian.
I enjoyed this interview. We don't get to see sane, classy, down to earth, honest, genuine, balanced, caring people anymore.
You won't after Carter 😔
I also still remember when Congressman John Anderson tried to get elected as the next American president back in late 1980. 🌳 🌲 🌳

25:45 “Invade East Berlin to tear down that wall”, how interesting to hear President Carter say those words.
He should have won a 2nd term. I believe that if Reagan ran against him in 1976 as opposed to 1980 that Jimmy Carter would have won 2 terms
Wrong
What sn amazing team they were! I was college age during the Carter years and never had any idea what influence Rosalyn had in this administration.

I wonder if Dan Rather now, w/ hindsight, regrets his questioning & coloring & negativity of this man.
He surely shouldn't. No one denies Carter was a good human being. But he was the worst president of my lifetime until Barry Soetoro showed up.
No. It was his job.
Dan Rather had no power to decide who won that election. By the time this interview was conducted, his defeat was already written in stone.
one of the greatest president in US，most kind and warm- hearted politician in US history
He was a good man, but he was not a great president by any means. He was great outside the WH, but not inside the WH.
Talk about Poker Face!!!

Great people Jimmy and Roslyn. However, they were both very delusional about that election of 1980. I think that’s why President Carter lost so badly.
