RIP Jimmy Carter


I have never been a fan of Mr. Carter as a president and generally rank him as below average, even setting aside my political prejudices. His one solid accomplishment was the Camp David Accords. Otherwise his administration came across as indecisive in response to runaway inflation and a spiraling energy crisis at home, while showing breathtaking weakness in the face of Soviet aggression in Afghanistan and Iran's seizure of our embassy and abduction of US diplomats. An outrage that any other president would have labeled an act of war. I will give a polite nod to some of his charitable work during his post-presidency, especially in support of Habitat for Humanity.

Prayers for his family and loved ones.
