James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr. (born 1 October 1924), an American politician, was the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981), and 83rd (1971–1975) Governor of Georgia. Among his administration’s actions, were the Panama Canal treaties, the Camp David Accords, and the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union. His administration oversaw the founding of the Departments of Energy and Education, and enacted strong legislation on environmental protection.
In the decades since he left office, Carter gained more respect for his role as an international mediator and peacemaker, and has used his position as a former president to further many charitable causes. In 2002, Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize for his “efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”

I was a kid when he was president, and my impression of him was less than favorable. A lot having to do with a SNL Three Mile Island skit.
Anyway, since becoming an ex-president, Mr. Carter is completely fascinating. I believe he is truly good person. Also, I think he is spot on about the Middle East situation.
He is one of a very few men I really look up to. He is one of my Hero’s. He says what he means, he means what he says and he does not say it mean. He is a humble honest hard working man whom I greatly admire. He walks the walk, he lives what he believes. Men like him are few and far between. An honest politician is almost a contradiction in terms, Jimmy Carter is one of those men. Jimmy Carter is the exception to the rule. He is an honest politician. I honor and respect him greatly.
He is a great man and he was really good president. He still has the right for the second term. Why not? My mother loves him.
It’s more of a story about me, that includes Jimmy Carter. I get to meet him in the fall. My philosophy teacher is letting me go to the dinner when he comes to OCU. AHHH!
Jimmy, you got maligned for your presidency! You’re on of the most articulate people I’ve seen, extremely intelligent. Of all the christians I’ve met, I always think of you as a role model for what good christians should aspire to—grace, dignity, eloquence, wisdom and most of all, a love and esteem for their fellow man. I wish more people of all faiths held to a similar standard in their moral code! I hope you read this ‘cause, mate, your aces in my book!
He was the most honost of all the U.S. presidents. This was also his down fall.
When I was small President (then Govoner) Carter and his wife went to my Grandparents church. They sat in front of my family and one day I was talking to him and he said he liked my freckles. I told them I hated them and wanted them to go away. He told me he wanted to buy them and gave me a nickle for them. So now they belong to him.
