I understand politics are a controversial topic, but I like to remind everyone to avoid name-calling and other uncivil behavior. Your comments will be removed.

Jimmy Carter was the best person the states have had as president in the last fifty years at least.

Then we go and vote Ronald Reagan in after.

What’s with Republicans and voting for celebrities?

They like to be spoken AT, not spoken WITH?

50 years? The presidents before him were Ford, Nixon and LBJ, so going back to Eisenhower at the least.

He was a good human being, but I don't think anyone would call him a good president.

What was wrong with what he did?

I don't recall the details, but the economy wasn't doing great and I don't think anything he did helped. Inflation was really bad.

I'm sure he did good things, but I think that's what he's remembered for - that and the whole Iran hostage crisis thing.

I never heard about him taking hostages.

My dad does and I've never been able to get him to give me an actual reason why. Like most of his shitty opinions

He was beat by one of the most popular presidents of all time. Hindsight being what it is, he was beat by one of the most destructive presidents of all time.

Sure are a lot of Reagan defenders around here.

"He's history's greatest monster!"

Said the Simpsons, sarcastically.
