“Former president Jimmy Carter turns 100 today, defying both science and actuarial odds after more than a year in hospice care. His post-presidency is widely regarded as one of the most successful in the modern era, setting a model for a meaningful life after the Oval Office. In contrast, his presidency is still considered, at best, middling. Given that most historians who rank presidents tend to lean left/liberal, the public likely views his term even less favorably. Yet, while Carter may not have been a Lincoln, neither was he a Ford. Notably, his role in laying the foundations for the Reagan Revolution that followed is often overlooked.” (10/01/24)
