Jimmy Carter = very weak, ineffective president. Overall his presidency was a failure. He was unable to generate confidence and optimism while he was in office.
He lacked the ability to work with Congress - even members of his own party - Democratic - couldn't work with him. Apparently, he antagonized many members of congress with his preachy & pious attitude.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy's 1980 presidential race against an incumbent Democratic president served notice of the discontent that many rank & file Democrats had for President Carter.
History will view the Carter presidency as below average in terms of the presidential rankings of presidential achievement & performance.
As a former president, Jimmy Carter has done many many good things - in fact, he has been a far better former president than he was as president. His humanitarian projects have been superb - he deserves much credit & respect for his post-presidential work. In many ways, Jimmy Carter has - with much success - defined a first class extremely productive post presidency.
Jimmy Carter is a very honorable, decent and kind human being -- he was perhaps too kind & gentle for the rough & tumble world of presidential politics.
It was an honor to see President Carter receive the Nobel Peace Price - a well deserved honor for all of his humanitarian work.

Jimmy Carter will be remembered more for his post presidential work and acheivements - than for his time as the 39th president.

The most bizarre president since Teddy Roosevelt. Did a crappy job running the country, and then got praised for telling everyone to make nice while encouraging the states of mind that opposed peace.

A man with faux moralistic ideals that often came into conflict with his policy. Haunted by his failed hostage rescue attempt he will be long remembered as a failure of a president.

The most evil American who ever lived. A spineless, appeasing, pious, preachy and catastrophically incompetent excuse for a human being whose inept micromanagement of the POTUS office wrecked the US economy, encouraged Soviet imperialism and almost single-handedly kick-started a resurgence of islamic imperialism that we are still dealing with almost three decades after he was booted out of office in a landslide. Not content with the incalculable damage he did as POTUS, this useful idiot of every form of totalitarianism went on to be the effective lapdog of islamic terrorists and communist tyrants, helping to finance the PLO, hugging Castro and revitalising the North Korean nuclear program. Of course he won a Nobel Peace Prize for all this, following in the footsteps of his beloved islamic terrorists.
Jimmy Carter was born too late to pursue his true vocation of burning witches in Salem (for their own good of course, much as it pained him to do it). Get thee behind me Jimmy Carter.
