Jimmy Carter Rides Again

Post by Steve Plonk » August 23rd, 2015, 2:45 pm

Jimmy Carter wrote another interesting book...A FULL LIFE...
His reflections on turning ninety years old last year...A great humanitarian...
( I thought Carter was a good president & voted for him twice.
As soon as I finish this current book, I'll give some impressions of it.)
Folks need to know that the world is a better place because Jimmy Carter is in it.

Now, through prism of history, we can rate Carter better over all than Reagan.
My overall theme is that Carter was president during a turbulent time. He paved
the way for the downfall of the Soviet Union. Folks like to give Reagan credit for that.
Carter bolstered our special operations forces & approved some useful
new space technology. Those are just a few of the achievements during the Carter
Administration. If his hostage rescue attempt had succeeded, Carter would most
likely would have been re-elected.

I finished reading Jimmy Carter's book, A FULL LIFE, celebrating his turning 90 years old, around the end of September. It was a really good overview of his life & had never before
published photos. 8)

At the latest Grammy Awards, in 2016, former President Carter won a grammy for the
spoken word category in the reading of that latest book: A FULL LIFE. :) I was very pleased
to have seen Carter back when I was in college, in Spring 1990, at a lecture. (That was way back in the day when I got my second B.S. degree at East Tennessee University.)
