RIP to the second worst president in my lifetime. 
I'm sure the family is relieved.
I still don't know if this man is even a christian, even though he put on a great front.
The arabs donated the money for his library. He never spoke out against the direction the democrats were headed.
RIP.
I won't miss him.

Good riddance!
Really effed up my young life, in so many ways.
We still suffer from so much of what he began.
His declaring Taiwan a province of China is just a single example.
One of too many.

He really tried to re-invent the Presidency. He worked so hard because he had no idea how to designate the work load and thought he could get the hostages home by himself.
RIP
RIP

Iranian Hostages were released as soon as Reagan was sworn in, the world knew he was weak.

Reagan was minutes into the Presidency and got people thinking he was the one responsible for the release but it was all Carters work that got them released, and ruined his chance of winning the election. The iranians made sure the release came after the new president was sworn in.
"The hostages were formally released into United States custody the day after the signing of the Algiers Accords, just minutes after American President Ronald Reagan was sworn into office."
Don't get me wrong I have no love for Carters presidency but it was his work that got them released plus his approving of the military option that failed because of that fuel depot in the desert. That operation got them to the bargaining table more than anything.
Reagan just got all the pats on the back without really doing anything.

isis better start releasing hostages before Trump gets a plan ready to save them
There is so much hate in this thread that it is troublesome. Was Jimmy Carter's presidency mostly a failure? Sure. But, he was a good and decent man who served others his whole life. Just his work with Habitat for Humanity was amazing. He also served honorably in the Navy. He leaves behind a legacy of serving his fellow man - something that the world could use more of.
Respectfully disagree. I drove over 100 miles to vote for Reagan (I was 26 years old). Everyone was sick of Jimmy Carter's BS. I had voted for Carter in 1976 because of his "good christian" schtick !
Iranians didn't fear Carter but they heard stories about this "crazy cowboy" named Reagan who was threatening to bomb them.
Reagan won the election in a landslide with 489 Electoral College votes to Carter's 49, and 50.7% of the popular vote to Carter's 41.0%.
That landslide election and the fact Reagan had threated the Ayatollah put the fear of God in those clowns. JMHO

Carter was the President as I was coming of age. 21% home interest rates, recession, poor job market. As a person he may have been well meaning but he should have continued to farm peanuts and make Billy Beer
I remember him lecturing African dictators like Idi Amin about "human rights".
I couldn't believe I had voted for such a dumbass.
And Carter was responsible for Iran's fall into chaos. The Shah of Iran was our ally and when Islamists rose up to overthrow him, we stood by and allowed it.
Women lost their freedom and the country went from a prosperous friend of the west to a hell hole.

Thank You Cat but those aren't my words I copied them off a site. If you look up anything that tells the history of the Iran hostages Iran made sure to wait for Reagan to be sworn in. Reagan and his admin didn't do anything except threaten Iran ??? and the Iran gov't caved in ??? It was minutes after when they were released ???
I doubt it, that deal was already done and the Iranians just wanted to disrespect Carters admin for whatever reason as they're fucking weirdo's
I really wish Gerald Ford would have won over Carter and we would have been better off and maybe we wouldn't have ignored the Diplomatic people that were telling the President about the situation in Iran. Like it or not Carters presidency will always be judged on the Hostage crisis.

While I echo President Carter's time as president was indeed a failure, he did do much to redeem himself. Unfortunately most people have a hard time forgetting the position he put most people in.
I don't hate the guy. But I do think he was a huge fake of a man.
He always sided with the palestinians. And the arabs were huge donors to him. Arab donations built his library after his presidency.
He just never impressed me as being what his image was.

This might open someone's eyes :
To understand what feeds former president Jimmy Carter’s anti-Israeli frenzy, look at his early links to Arab business.
Between 1976-1977, the Carter family peanut business received a bailout in the form of a $4.6 million, “poorly managed” and highly irregular loan
from the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). According to a July 29, 1980 Jack Anderson expose in The Washington Post, the bank’s biggest borrower was Mr. Carter,
and its chairman at that time was Mr. Carter’s confidant, and later his director of the Office of Management and Budget, Bert Lance.
At that time, Mr. Lance’s mismanagement of the NBG got him and the bank into trouble. Agha Hasan Abedi, the Pakistani founder of the Bank of Credit and
Commerce International (BCCI), known as the bank “which would bribe God,” came to Mr. Lance’s rescue making him a $100,000-a-year consultant. Abedi
then declared: “we would never talk about exploiting his relationship with the president.” Next, he introduced Mr. Lance to Saudi billionaire Gaith Pharaon,
who fronted for BCCI and the Saudi royal family. In January 1978, Abedi paid off Mr. Lance’s $3.5 million debt to the NBG, and Pharaon secretly gained control over the bank.
Mr. Anderson wrote: “Of course, the Saudis remained discretely silent… kept quiet about Carter’s irregularities… [and] renegotiated the loan to Carter’s advantage.”
There is no evidence that the former president received direct payment from the Saudis. But “according to… the bank files, [it] renegotiated the repayment terms…
savings… $60,000 for the Carter family… The President owned 62% of the business and therefore was the largest beneficiary.” Pharaon later contributed generously
to the former president’s library and center.
When Mr. Lance introduced Mr. Carter to Abedi, the latter gave $500,000 to help the former president establish his center at Emory University. Later, Abedi contributed
more than $10 million to Mr. Carter’s different projects. Even after BCCI was indicted — and convicted -— for drug money laundering, Mr. Carter accepted $1.5 million
from Abedi, his “good friend.”
A quick survey of the major contributors to the Carter Center reveals hundreds of millions of dollars from Saudi and Gulf contributors.
But it was BCCI that helped Mr. Carter establish his center.

He was a way better statesman than he was a president.
