Jimmy is sporting a shiner from a recent fall, but he says he’s fine. He’s even back to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . But w ow, he and Rosalyn sure are looking old. Of course, Jimmy is 95, our oldest living president. He may not have been the most effective president, but he was an honorable man, and that’s saying a lot these days.

N ever really understood why so many of the “conservative” religious groups and even many conservative individuals just don’t like him... He kinda bungled China and had crap financial/econ advisers but on the religious issue alone he’s their man.

Hypocrisy.

They don’t actually care about ‘religion’. They just want more money and possibly racism as an added benefit.

Because his solution to the oil embargo was put on a sweater and do without.  Americans historically do not like that attitude, oh and if he were running today the Deomcrats wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole, he’d be an uneducated racist from the south.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t remember him being slammed much on religious grounds, but more for his policies and ineffectiveness.

M aybe it was that he did an interview with Playboy, and his ( in) famous admission that he had lusted and committed adultery in his  heart. Not all that shocking, but in the Bible Belt, you just don’t admit to that.

I wouldn’t say he bungled China. Recognizing the PRC made sense, and I think was largely inevitable after Nixon’s visit (the agreement closely followed Nixon’s 1972 agreement). Perhaps he could have held out for better terms, but something like an independent Taiwan would have been a non-starter for not just the PRC, but probably the ROC as well. I’m sure the key thing was to make sure to peel China away from the Soviet Union in a permanent fashion, and recognizing the PRC accomplished that.

It would be more fair to criticize him for losing Iran, but that problem had been simmering  for a quarter century.

Racist, maybe, but a BS from the Naval Academy (finishing 60th out of ~800 in his class) is not uneducated.
