His Vice president, Walter Mondale, lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan in 1984 after Carter had lost in a landslide in 1980. We were tired of being a laughingstock cowered in the corner\u00c2\u00a0from every tin pot dictator who shook their fists and took our citizens hostage.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose Rosalynn was a nice woman, but Presidential material? Not on your life &#8211; she&#8217;d have been no leader, just like her husband was no leader.<\/p>\n<p>And as for the &#8220;documentary&#8221; of The Man from Plains &#8211; what human being has so much time on their hands they&#8217;ll take time out to sleep through the story of his life &#8211; again. I had the misfortune to use his memoirs &#8220;Keeping Faith&#8221; for a paper in college on the Carter-Torrijos Treaty. Not only was it the most factually inaccurate drivel I&#8217;d ever read, it was a giant snooze fest. I&#8217;m sure this documentary will be no better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Carter is making that last turn to get his musty ass all the way around &hellip; <a title=\"Carter: Me-too-ism; Roz could&#8217;ve been Prez\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=783\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Carter: Me-too-ism; Roz could&#8217;ve been Prez<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jimmy-carter","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
