No president is perfect. Some are much worse or much better than others. The US would greatly benefit from having more Jimmy Carters as president.

His failure was not including Washington insiders into his cabinet. It’s the lesson that people often forget. The president can’t be a total outsider and expect to be successful.

I could see that being an issue for sure. But I will still say that falls well short of the things some other president’s have done.

Remember when there was a crisis at a nuclear power plant, and the president rushed to the scene…to help, because he’s a qualified nuclear engineer? I don’t, I wasn’t born yet when that happened.

I’ve already come to view Jimmy Carter as an unappreciated rockstar, and I didn’t even know this story. I just Googled it for those interested. It doesn’t seem like it was when he was president, but still completely badass/downright heroic.

I wasn’t either. But when I heard the story I wished we would have another president who cared like that.

And was an engineer or someone else who has had a job that actually matters.

My dad always said Jimmy Carter was too good of a man to be a good president.
