Book Description
================
This program includes a foreword written and read by Madeleine Albright, with a preface and introduction read by Stuart Eizenstat. The definitive history of the Carter administration from the man who participated in its surprising number of accomplishments - drawing on his extensive and never-before-seen notes.
Stuart Eizenstat was at Jimmy Carter’s side from his political rise in Georgia through four years in the White House, where he served as chief domestic policy adviser. He was directly involved in all domestic and economic decisions as well as in many foreign policy ones. Famous for the legal pads he took to every meeting, he draws on more than 7,500 pages of notes and 350 interviews of all the major figures of the time to write the comprehensive history of an underappreciated president - and to give an intimate view on how the presidency works.
Eizenstat reveals the grueling negotiations behind Carter’s peace between Israel and Egypt, what led to the return of the Panama Canal, and how Carter made human rights a presidential imperative. He follows Carter’s passing of America’s first comprehensive energy policy and his deregulation of the oil, gas, transportation, and communications industries. And he details the creation of the modern vice presidency.
Eizenstat also details Carter’s many missteps, including the Iranian Hostage Crisis, because Carter’s desire to do the right thing, not the political thing, often hurt him and alienated Congress. His willingness to tackle intractable problems, however, led to major, long-lasting accomplishments.
This major work of history shows firsthand where Carter succeeded, where he failed, and how he set up many successes of later presidents.

A man who divested himself from his peanut farm in order to avoid even the *appearance* of a conflict of interest. My, how far we have fallen.
But the retards have roused a sleeping giant, and overplaying their hand so spectacularly is about to come back and bite them. Enjoy the midterms. Mueller sends his regards. :)

Why does Carter have this aura of Human Rights Defender around him? Can it be that he placed it there? With the help of a compliant media? Carter’s administration involved themselves in Human Rights abuses in Zaire; Guatemala; Angola; Indonesia’s genocide in East Timor; support for the South African apartheid state; provision of aid to the military dictatorship in El Salvador, despite a letter from Archbishop Oscar Romero – who was assassinated by a member of a government death squad weeks later – explicitly calling for Carter not to do so.

Or maybe that’s all just peanuts…

Jimmy is just happy that Odumbo came along and took the “Worst President in US History” title away from him.

‘Odumbo’ This must be a post from a alternate universe. We have never had a President of that name in this universe. You may not like the one we have, had, will elect in the future, but they are ours. No idea what or where kenweeks88 is fom or going.

This farce of a President has since leaving office pandered and sidled up to the most despicable despots this chaotic world has to offer. All done in the misguided effort to rehabilitate his failed Presidency.

I’ll take one Obama over a dozen Carters. It’s not even a debate, even with Obama’s colossal lack of leadership in Iraq and Afghanistan.

@mklangelo, I disagree, I would rather have one Carter than a dozen Obamas. While I think Pres. Carter was a weak President for having allowed Iran to hold 51 Americans hostage for 444 days, I believe he was the most honest President in most of our lifetimes.
His choices in the last year plus of his Presidency were pretty difficult. Attack Iran, a country were we empowered and supported the despot Shah, or allow the new government time to evolve and hopefully put aside our interference in their affairs. Well, that didn’t work out too well now did it as they still hate us.
On the other hand Pres. Obama (and virtually every President after Reagan, kissed Iran’s butt. And Pres. Obama gave them back $1.5 billion in frozen funds and then another $400 million for our own navy sailors that were in their waters.
No, while I don’t like that Iranian “students” kidnapped US citizens, the US was wrong to meddle in their affairs for oil.
Give me an honest man any day.
Considering that the US supported the Shah, who was a despot, wh
