Jimmy Carter has led a greater, more accomplished life, as a fierce and true philanthropist, than Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and Trump, combined. Barack is in his league as a humanitarian and leader, and has way more greatness in him, he’ll find a way to lead.
Jimmy Carter, like Barack, was the right man that thought it was the right time. We all did. Unfortunately, stupidity, dishonesty, ignorance, anger, nationalism,and cynicism are powerful political weapons the GOP wields well, and a lot of this country wants to stay white and dumb. Still.
Jimmy was painfully honest and brave, and didn’t spend 4 years running for re-election, he spent 4 years honestly pursuing right outcomes. And he didn’t stop leading after he lost: he kept going. For 40+ years.
