    No president is perfect. Some are much worse or much better than others. The US would greatly benefit from having more Jimmy Carters as president.

      Remember when there was a crisis at a nuclear power plant, and the president rushed to the scene…to help, because he’s a qualified nuclear engineer? I don’t, I wasn’t born yet when that happened.

      His failure was not including Washington insiders into his cabinet. It’s the lesson that people often forget. The president can’t be a total outsider and expect to be successful.

        I could see that being an issue for sure. But I will still say that falls well short of the things some other president’s have done.
