Jimmy Carter becomes first president to live to see White House ornament honoring his legacy

It was Jimmy Carter, Democrat, Georgia, who pushed the Shah of Iran out of power. We all know what happened: The U.S. Embassy takeover, the bungled rescue attempt, the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini and radical Islam. It was Ronald Reagon, Republican, California, who secured the unconditional release of the hostages. Tell me more about how great Carter was.

[@TheSunTheSea]

What a load of BS. He allowed the Ayatollah to take over Iran, which set a chain reaction to being fanatical Islam to the Middle East. His domestic policies were also atrocious and inflation went rampant under his watch. There’s a reason Americans voted Republican for 12 straight years after this clown

Very nice tradition, as well as beautiful ornaments.

The people loved him….ouff….. In the 1980 U.S. presidential election between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, Reagan won by a significant margin in the electoral college. Reagan, the Republican candidate, received 489 electoral votes, while Carter, the Democratic incumbent, received 49 electoral votes. This resulted in a decisive victory for Reagan, who also won the popular vote by a substantial margin.

Carter said then, “A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.”

I agree this those who say he has not been given full credit.

I don't anyone more knowledge and in command of foreign policy (other than Johnson and Nixon with opening China)., He was an Navy Intelligence Officer and was in-dept of that subject during the Ford-Carter debate.

[@johnlabus7359]

During Carter's reelection campaign, he kept quiet on his efforts to free the hostages held in Iran and the role of the American government that saw the rescue of 6 diplomats earlier in the crisis. His silence helped the Americans trapped there but hurt him in his reelection quest. That's one of the most selfless acts that I can remember by a president. Him seeing his ornament is well deserved.
