It's equal opportunity, with both Carter and Bush 43 getting a fair amount of undue bashing. <br /><br />The Carter bashers confuse their hatred of his Presidency and his working on behalf of Habitat for Humanity and other do-gooder organizations with his ability to last in a knife fight. As other commenters point out, the man was a trained Navy man and submariner, and was brave enough to go into a partial melted down reactor do help stabilize it. To say nothing about being able to deal with Hyman Rickover. Whatever anyone may feel about Carter's Presidency, the man had guts.JCCnoreply@blogger.com
