Jimmy Carter: President, home-builder, carpenter, novelist — and, now, harmonica player
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Woke up to a well-connected reader’s report from the B.B. King/Willie Nelson concert last night at Chastain Park. Former President Jimmy Carter was in attendance, as was Ted Turner.
Here are the details:
“B.B King apologized to Carter for telling a story about Viagra, but the coolest moment was during Willie’s portion of the show. He’s playing “Georgia On My Mind,” and Carter takes the stage to play harmonica, and does it really well. The crowd went nuts, as you might imagine. For what it’s worth, Carter’s a better harmonica player than Clinton is a sax player.”
If anybody’s got a photo of the Nelson/Carter moment, the Insider promises a repost.

Music to my ears. It’s a shame that the politicians we now have in office cannot provide the equivalent. That story about Karen Handel is a prime example — it wreaks of sour notes and bad lyrics. Why aren’t our so-called state leaders in an uproar over this woman’s actions. She’s an embarrassment to educated people yet she fits right in with Georgia’s Republican Party.

Glad to see Jimmy found his actual calling, and, a job he might be qualified to perform! Hopefully he will see he has no talent for political retoric and will stop his insane rantings!
Can someone get the mouth of the south to do the same?

Former President Carter deserves respect, even if you disagree with his politics. He’s certainly a better man and more forward-thinking president than the one currently sitting in the White House. By all accounts, his actions (then and now) reflect a desire to make the world a better place — something I’m not sure we can say of the current occupant.

Don’t forget he did say in the 1970s that oil dependence on the middle east was the ‘moral equivalent of war’, but congress would not back him on any action, which makes him way ahead of the pack on something that is obvious now and should have been then

His Presidency and the disaster it was speaks for itself. And yes I flat out disagree with his recent rumblings on foreign policy, but I also respect the man and his accomplishments away from the political spectrum. It is also great to see him get up in front of the home crowd and play some tunes with a great musical legend like BB. Nice job Jimmy. Sometimes you just need to put politics aside.

Interesting that some of your readers criticize Jimmy Carter for speaking the truth… Our current leaders have done so little of that, that it almost seems normal to twist and propagate lying. Jimmy Carter has nothing to hide, guess that is why it’s easy for him to see a problem and actually do something about it, and not actually just talk about it. Peace is an objective, not just a word. World Peace starts with each individual. Jimmy helps, not hinders that process. It seems the truth is really a hard pill to swallow. Harder yet to hear. Nice to see he can enjoy himself with two legends of music. Smile.

Geeze you people are crazy! You may not like his politics, but give the man one freakin’ break! You all jump on Jimmy Carter no matter what the subject. We could keep ramming Richard Nixon down your throats, but we like to take the high road.
While I agree that Mr. Carter often shot himself in the foot for being too stubborn to compromise his positions, he is a highly intelligent man with love in his heart for this country. He has so many achievements beyond his Presidency that it shows how ignorant you “critics” are.

Karen Handel is a great Secretary of State. She shouldn’t be compared with Jimmy Carter. I hate to even comment on this, but Carter couldn’t hold a candle to either President Bush or his dad. I don’t consider myself a redneck, but if Copyleft believes that anyone who believes moderate to conservatives are “rednecks” then so be it.
Thank you Karen for standing for Georgia citizens and making sure that non-citizens find it more difficult to make a mockery of our voting process. Voter ID is a past due part of our voting process.

I didn’t know Jimmy Carter can play the harmonica — it must be a new skill he’s acquired. But then, he’s a lifelong learner who’s committed to improving himself and the world we live in, so I’m not surprised. We should all try to live up to the example he sets. And I’ve always thought he was a better president than people give him credit for. He kept us out of war despite the Iran hostage crisis, he asked us to sacrifice in the face of the energy crisis, and he initiated policies that would have helped us reduce our dependence on foreign oil, if only they had been left in place instead of dismantled by the Reagan administration. He successfully brokered peace among long-standing enemies and fought hard for human rights. He worked really hard, long hours in the White House and did his homework, not something we can say for the current president. Yes, the economy was rough under Carter, but hey, it’s rough now, so what else is new?

What gives? You idiots continue to talk about how bad a President Mr. Carter was, but what did he do that was so wrong? Maybe it was bringing stability to the White House and this country after Watergate and Vietnam? Maybe it was Telling the truth about the U.S oil dependence? Or that whole honoring the original Panama Canal treaty? Some of you may even want to blame him for not cutting the deal with The Iranian hostage takers that King Ronnie did. Lets face it, the historical revisionist will not admit that Carter was a strong President. At the time no one understood just how good, and now none of you can remove the party blinders and acknowldge things for what they are. Proud veteran, President, Nobel peace prize winner,Humanitarian, Christian… And now pretty good harmonica player. Not a bad resume at all!

I would take 20 more years of W rather than another one of Carter. Carter WAS a hard worker, but wasn’t perceptive enough to realize that the job is too big for any man, unless appropriate delegation. He was, much like Obama, naive enough to think our enemies could be wooed with talk. He does, I suppose, as Chad said, deserve some respect, but that has become very difficult for me to do. When he left office, I thought him to be a sincere but misguided liberal. The one difference between him and today’s liberals is that he spends his OWN money and time for his causes, rather that just simply wanting to share everyone else’s.
However, Carter threw his dignity away when he made an a* of himself with political remarks at Corretta Scott King’s funeral, and has contunued to do so with his inane political gibberish. Protocol calls for an ex-president to remain mum when he disagrees with his successor- as Gerald Ford did to him, and Reagan did to Clinton (before his disease quited him in total.) To fail to do so shows classlessness and an absence of dignity. He does have freedom of speech, but he has used it to make a horrible legacy even worse.
If Carter declared the oil issue a matter of national security, he was right, but he had a democrat house to push remedies, if he had any solutions. Observation without action does not make him visionary.
Carter used to be a horrible President but an outstanding ex-President; now he is just a bitter old man who was a terrible President.

Jimmy Carter was a victim of the Islamic revolution. He was also a victim of a period of low technology in the military. In today’s world if a country takes hostages as did the Iranians in ‘79 they could be rescued in a matter of days. The failed attempt to rescue them was so complicated that if everything went right it would have been successful. As it was a 100 year desert sand storm phenomenon called a HABOOB ruined the mission. Operation Eagle Claw could have been the most dramatic rescue since Entebbe. Another mission was planned afterwards, Operation Credible Sport, but during planning exercises the C-130 that was to land in the soccer stadium and then take off with the help of jet packs tore off the starboard wing when it’s braking jet packs were fired too soon. That aircraft is now on display at the Warner Robins, GA Museum of Aviation. A tough time for a President who was and still is an honest man.

Twenty more years of lies; endless unjustified war; corporate rule; rapidly growing poverty, shrinking middle class, and obscene wealth in the hand of the few; loss of our constitutional rights once held to be inalienable; destruction of the environment; increased industrial poisoning of our air and water; head in the sand approach to the reality of global warming; politicization of the justice system; senseless alienation of our foreign allies; subversion of true science to meet political and religious views; religious wackos spreading their hatred and influencing laws touching our daily lives … do you think there would even be a United States of America in 2028? Heck, I’d take a term of Ulysses S. Grant over another year of Dumbya.

I never understand why there’s such disrespect toward Jimmy from Georgians. To me, he’s a home grown hero, a southern gentleman—Even if you disagree with his politics, he does the state proud as a Noble prize winner, a service man, a philanthropist, a family man. Without people like him in our state, the rest of the world would see Georgia as the back-woods, red neck, corrupt, racist place that many of these previous comments reflect.

Tim, this blog was not about Mr. Carter as President and my earlier posts gave him accolades for his work outside the political spectrum. I was also glad to see him liven up the crowd at Chastain. But….since you brought it up lets talk about Carters Presidency because really I didn’t want to do this and was wanting to be graceful to one of Georgia’s finest.
Lets start with the 18% home mortgage rate during his Presidency. You think the current crisis is bad, well back then people who could afford homes were losing them. Today only those who had no business buying expensive homes are the ones losing out. Then lets look at the double digit inflation and stagflation which caused the economy to simply tank. Trust me people had it worse back then than they do now. Should I go on?? Ok, now since gas and energy is a problem now lets look at those dubious issues during his Presidency. Gas shortages, haven’t seen those in a while even with $4 a gal gas. Yeah nothing more that America wanted at the time than to see their leader walking around in a sweater basically telling the American people to deal with it and turn down your thermostat. More domestic nightmares that are still felt today are those of the Department of Education who are destroying the minds of our school children with their leftist indoctrination and the Department of Energy. An then there is the always relevant foreign policy. The Panama Canal give away and the Iranian hostage disaster will always and forever be tied to Jimmy Carter. We are still feeling the effects of Jimmy not standing up for the Iranian Shah even today with our current issues with Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Now I am a firm believer than history will dictate how a President performs and not the current conditions he faces. This can be said for Truman and Clinton. Truman had a bad Presidency as it was happening, but today most Americans see good in what he did. On the other hand, Clinton had a decent Presidency and left with a budget surplus that he and congress worked out and high approval ratings. But today we see his foreign policy blunders kept terrorism as a problem for us instead of squashing them. Remember the Saudis were ready to hand over Bin Laden, but Clinton would rather have a donation to his Library instead. However, 25+ years after the fact Jimmy Carter’s Presidency still ranks as one of the worst two in American history, the other being Hoover’s. We will know in about 10 years if W’s is as bad as those on the left make us think.
Now Jimmy did do some good that I wish our leaders today would take into consideration. He fought congress on pork barrel spending and remember congress was in Democratic control too. So brownie points for that. Then there were the Camp David Accords and peace between Israel and Egypt. Big kudos to Jimmy for the leadership displayed there as well. But you see, the good did not outweigh the bad and we are still feeling effects to this day for what Carter did or didn’t do when he was President. For that, he will always be remembered as one of the worst. Face it, being a successful President was not in the cards for Jimmy. Now with that being said, Carter has done wonderful things since he left office and yes I too see him as a true Christian with a passionate heart, Humanitarian, Nobel Prize Winner, and devout Braves fan (which for some of you I cannot say the same thing). I am glad to see he could put politics aside and have some fun with a blues legend like BB. It is great to see that side from one of our former leaders. His Presidency was bad, but I do respect the man.

Carter’s impotence and weakness started the islamo -facist ball rolling. You libs can attempt to blame everything on Bush, but it will not work with those who have taken the time to study the history of terrorism and its rise. Carter was and is an unmitigated failure.

A little perspective with respect to Carter’s Nobel Prize. The man got the prize for his work with North Korea in the 1990’s. Problem is that the N. Koreans lied to Carter and continued their march to a nuclear bomb. It was the Bush administration that solved that problem, not Carter and his agreement. Of course the Euroweenies found success in Carter impotence and failure with the N Koreans (Big Surprise). Carter is a global joke. He knows it, ergo his constant legacy tours and attempt at relevance. Peace.

It’s good to see that people can see past the failed presidency. Even his own party treated him as an outsider. Ted Kennedy felt it was his time to follow in the footsteps of his family and Carter kept him from the spotlight as a genuine presidential candidate. As Jimmy Carter said during the primary season during 1980 when he was told that Kennedy was going to oppose him it was allegedly said his response was “I’ll whip his a*.” And he did!

-yes we have a shrinking middle class because everyone is investing now and getting out of the middle class and into the wealth/entrepreneurial class.
-science is not always true, some of it is just theory and religious/political views are just that, views which are opinions. You gotta get opinions from somewhere.
-our so called allies haven’t stood up for us not once in our history so what is this so called senseless alienation?
-spewing religious hatred goes both ways there my friend. Jeremiah Wright anyone?

Although Reagan’s death was a sad occasion, I did enjoy hearing all the lib-media types praising Reagan for his many accomplishments, yet when he was accomplishing them those same lib-media types were doing their best to cut him down. That is the difference between Reagan and Carter. Reagan was a success in spite of the national media. Carter is a failure with the press on his side. I dig irony. Peace.

Carter not standing up to the Iranian Shah? You want despicable dictator - look at the Shah’s record - he even had his secret police on US college campuses. Nixon and Kissinger proped up the Shah for oil. They set the stage for the Aytollah to return from his exile in Paris. How many of the Iranian hostages were killed? How many GI’s were killed” The answer is NONE. And if you were living during the 70’s and I think many of you bloggers were not, you would know that high inflation and gasoline prices were evident during Nixon and Ford’s administrations. I remember during Regan’s “investment tax credit” fiasco the interest rate paid on financing equipment purchases was nearing 20%. Regan discovered that he could borrow from Peter to pay Paul and not have it look like we were operating in a deficit.

Listened to Carter about being free of foreign oil? If I remember correctly it was Carter’s Dem controlled congress that put in windfall profits taxes on Oil Companies that cut domestic production like crazy in the late 70s. Yeah that really helped America then just like alternative sources are helping us now. The fact is the technology is there, but Congress is the one who continues to keep us dependent on foreign sources. Its both Dems and Repubs buddy. And if Reagan sucked, well then I would be tickled pink to have a President greater than him who could do even better than 18 million jobs created, lower taxes, end of the Soviet expansion, and the were it all to get America loving itself again. Reagan was not perfect and no President is, but his accomplishments far outweigh his flaws. Carter on the other hand is a different story. His flaws double whatever accomplishments he made. If his ideas were so great, then why don’t Americans buy them? Oh thats right, they have been proven wrong and disasterous.

Susan, Carter had a chance to keep the Shah in power in Iran by intervening and he blew it. And because of that we are now paying for it 29 years later with Iran and its crazy Aytollah getting Nuke hungry. No the Shah wasn’t great, but it sure as hell beat what those crazies have now. Yeah you can thank Carter for that one. Also, the inflation during the Nixon years were no where as bad as they were when Carter took office. Yes it came to him courtesy of Gerald Ford, but Carter did nothing to fix the problem. If Reagan was so bad you two, then why did this country go through the largest economic expansion during peacetime in our nations history? And if he sucked as you say then how come this country re-elected him in 84 by the largest landslide in history? The country has put some morons in office before, but usually by razor thin margins not by overwhelming landslides.

From the one picture available, doesn’t look like Carter was miked, or had the correct harmonica to play ‘Georgia’, even if he could. Hate to be cynical but, to me, this just smells a bit.
