Jimmy Carter, 39th president

[Elefant&Castle]

Remember reading he was one of the more intelligent presidents - but also with a weakness that he was unable to delegate even small tasks like bookings for the White House tennis court.

At least he DID make it to 100, doubt any current living president will make it that far. Maybe W or Obama...

My strongest memory of the Carter presidency, besides the Iran hostage crisis, was the pardon of Vietnam era draft evaders. Mostly in the form of my father muttering "Goddam draft dodgers..."

Also returned control of the Panama canal to Panama - Trump might hit undo on that.

We won't see his kind again. Carter's main mistake (there were a few—goes with the job) was listening to Kissenger, who advised him to let the Shah of Iran and his coterie take up exile in the U.S.

This reminds me to read Christopher Hitchens' book on Henry K.

Not if he has a secret service guy behind him. Don't underestimate random posters here...
