A post from February 2006:
From time to time, historians do presidential ratings. They are usually very interesting and consistent. Washington, Lincoln and FDR are usually in the Top 3.
Jimmy Carter is usually down the list.
Between 1981 and 1996, Carter was kept away from Democrat conventions. He did not speak on prime time. In fact, he was avoided by every Democrat nominee.
Bill Clinton went out of his way in '92 to say that he was not Carter.
Yesterday, Carter made a fool of himself at the Mrs. King funeral. He injected partisan politics into a funeral. This is shameful and someone in the party should call on Carter to apologize.
