We are told, if you have nothing good to say about anybody, say 'nothing at all'.

'Nothing at all'.

'Nothing at all'.

Of course. An American President has cancer and we have nothing good to say, especially those deregulatory acts to the transportation industry which included the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 , the Staggers Act that his successor continued- and thus given full credit for the idea of deregulation.

How dare a Democrat deregulate

It is like Labour were the first to privatise the NHS, just unforgivable.

I stand corrected.

Shame really, horrible way to go but he is amazingly still looking upbeat. My old man was apart of that ill fated Rh-53 team off of the Nimitz, never got over why they left assets and dead behind but no bitter words for Carter. They estimate he has 10 weeks?

Your pops was in Operation Eagle Claw or whatever the name of it was with the Iran hostage crisis?


He's 90 years old, every day he's been hopping out of bed since 75-80 (roughly) has been a "free day". Everyone passes at some point and with Reagan, Ford, and Nixon all gone well it's not a surprise his health is failing.....granted George H. W. Bush is 91 and recently broke his neck or back or some crazy shit like that so I wouldn't be surprised if he passes soon as well.

People say he was a shit president, but he far outlived the Kennedys and Lincoln, so good for him.

I'll give that Peanut Farmer one thing.


He smoked Ted Kennedy in the Democratic Primary.

He was bud, career long air crew from the Huey to Sea stallion. They were put on rapid deployment and those Rh-53 were converted mine countermeasures chosen based on fuel capacity and load. The irony is they were meant to be destroyed on site when mission complete but the 5 were left intact for the Iranians to scoop up. More so..we had just sold six(?) to Iran before the 79' revolution.

Wow..... sad to hear about Jimmy Carter being ill with cancer. My best wishes to him and his family.

As far as his presidency, Carter was largely viewed as a wimp. I would say foreign politics probably wasn't a subject he got an "A" on, and leave it at that. That said, it's amusing how most former U.S. presidents, with the onset of old age, are all viewed as great statesmen, regardless of how their presidency went. Well..... except for George W. Bush, who I doubt will be viewed that way at all.

Jimmy Carter

Was in over his head during his Presidency.



From November 4, 1979 ......... '444 Days'

He was embarrassed into 'irrelevancy' by a backwards Middle Eastern Country, with 4th-Rate Power.

He learn the hard way. Never tell the truth. He never sold weapons for hostages. It just wasn't in his DNA. Iran wanted to give back the Hostages but were told if they kept them just a little longer they would be rewarded, And they were. He should have taken the low road. He would have won reelection, But that was also not in his DNA. Just one more thing. I have no problem in Dr. King or President Carter winning the Noble peace prize. How in the Fuck does Gore or fucking Obama win the award? Carter is a hero to billions seeking human rights. History will be very kind to him.
