      He has been given a bad wrap by so many.
      He is a brilliant man,and in my opinion, Jimmy Carter was a good President.
      I don't know exactly why he has been so criticized as a President.
      He is coming to the end of his life. I don't know why he has put himself on Hospice.
      I admire him very much for doing so many things. I mean over 25 books. WOW!!!!
      He is a wonderful Christian, and he is very vocal about that .t

    I listened intently with intent to know more about you, as a person, to edify my "education". I am turning fifty this summer. I am so depleted trying to find a way to obtain a degree in English. My daughters are the first females in my immediate, biological "family of origin" to graduate highschool, attend college, and finish a Masters in Business and a Masters in Nursing. Now, I want to finish and begin college. I'm running into "walls". You inspire me, and through you, your mother. Thank you!

    I waited to hear that someone in the Black community had something to do with your success, since you only had one "White" person in your young life for inspiration.

    It's a shame Carter was so bad a president . Couldn't deal with anything , the energy crisis, the inflation crisis, the interest crisis, the Iranian crisis , other than that he was allright Lol

      That’s politics whenever a Good President in power others so envious, his records said as a peanut farmer risen unto WhiteHouse could imagine Some Walnuts Some cranky Macadamia nutty people wannabe Entering White House from him! As I see , this Wise President is what a President should have, been , done if anything Ones Need to copy!Simply Full of Respect! Wanna buy and read his book Jimmy Carter! Thank you for this wishing him a good longevity even conducting Biblical classes on Sundays , non stop of community service support guessing his mind sharpening skills cultivate wish I have been in his Sunday class listening to his prepared religious speech!
