The media is trying to convince everyone that Jimmy Carter was a "great leader" and Biden has been repeating it.

Great leaders don't serve just 1 term; they get re-elected.

Why do people wait until somebody dies before they start lying about how great they were? That's disrespectful. I've done it before, but I've grown up
since then.

I'll say this much about Jimmy Carter: People from Georgia are often friendly, polite, and descent, and Jimmy was from there.

Trump said in passing that he was glad that Jimmy lived long enough to see a president worse than him... And in walks Joe Biden.

We'll have a distraction for the weeks coming while they put Jimmy to rest.

Great leaders don't serve just 1 term; they get re-elected.

I'm old enough to recall the energy crisis in the 70's.... the long lineups to get gas... And Jimmy said if you're too cold in your house because you can't afford heat... Put a sweater on.

Jimmy was a kind and gentle man but sucked pretty hard at being a leader.

Bear in mind that Donald Trump was not re-elected until everyone got a
chance to see just how bad Biden was.

reat

they were? That's disrespectful. I've done it before, but I've grown up

Carter was a great leader in places other than the Presidency, though. His work with Habitat for Humanity and other similar efforts brought a lot of attention to the cause. He may have also been a good Governor. As I was
not, and have never been, a Georgia resident I cannot speak to that one way
or the other.

If they had said "great President," that would be true in comparison to
Biden but not in the grander scheme of things. As is, unless the context
was specifically about his presidency, I am not sure it is a lie.

I'll say this much about Jimmy Carter: People from Georgia are often

riendly,

polite, and descent, and Jimmy was from there.

He was one of the best *ex*-Presidents we've ever had.

BTW, this is a real names echo. Thanks!

That sounds a lot like Biden's "Expect less" suggestion. Very smug and selfish. I bet Jimmy didn't hesitate to crank up the thermostat in his house.

Are you sure he was a "great leader" outside the presidency? Habitat for humanity provides homes to people who didn't work hard enough to buy one on their own.

It seems like a good funneling opportunity for Democrat opportunists with all the construction contractors that are involved.

For someone to qualify for a Habitat home, they must work on the project as
the home is built. IIRC, they must also be able to assume the mortgage,
which will be less expensive than a regular one.

Most of the construction contractors are volunteers, and at least some of
the materials are donated, presumably for the tax write-off.

I heard this elsewhere...

Jimmy was a great man but a terrible leader. Whereas, Joe Biden is a terrible man and a terrible leader.

With Joe you get a 2'fer

A co-worker was going to get a house through Habitat. Put in a lot of hours working on homes for others, then he backed out. Not sure why he did it, but that's how he is.

At least others benefited from his work.

Indeed. Hope he saw it that way, also.
