    RIP Jimmy Carter. Ironically enough, my first impression of him came reading The Fifth Horseman, a work of fiction.

    RIP Jimmy Carter, as many here already pointed out a US president we, as citizens of the world, could only hope for these days.

    RIP Jimmy Carter. But Ronald Reagan is the greatest president of all time and made America the shining city on a hill and the envy of the whole world. It was morning in America again under Ronnie. There will never be another like him. Plus the fall of the Soviet Union and my family’s opportunity to emigrate to the states was all thanks to Ronnie.

    Glad your family is doing well, and please be a fan of whoever you like, it's a free world. But claiming your country is the envy of the whole world is arrogant and ignorant. I'm sorry. Personally, I'm a proud European and adore our cultural and linguistic diversity, though would never ever make such a claim.

    Carter wasn’t a perfect President, but his post-Presidency definitely seemed well fulfilled. I actually also really like his Crisis of Confidence speech (I really can’t see any US President today giving such a speech today, and in some ways it’s a bit of a shame, controversial as it was at the time from what I understand. There’s something quite direct about it compared to the ‘optimism’, doublespeak and divisiveness you get in US politics from Reagan onwards).
