Say what you want about Jimmy, but I think he was one of the most honest presidents we have ever had. He understood the American people, cared about all Americans. He was progressive before it was cool!
Here's my unsolicited Jimmy Carter story: He teaches Sunday School twice a month at his church in Plains, GA (or he did pre-covid). My mom and cousin and I went to see him right after Hurricane Michael. Carter was doing kind of a Socratic method thing during the lesson asking questions. He asked what you can do to be of service to neighbors that are less fortunate. People said things like take them food, take them to doctors appointments, help in the yard, stuff like that. Then this one woman said “you could pray!” And she sounded all smug and pleased with herself like that was the right answer. And Jimmy Carter, a Southern Baptist Sunday school teacher, said “well, I think that’s taking the easy way out”. And it was the sickest burn I ever heard.
