From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE… (Early) Happy #92 to #39! If you don’t count George Washington's fake choppers, Jimmy Carter---who turns 92 tomorrow---owns the most famous set of presidential teeth in history. That Jimmy grin was what the country wanted after the Watergate mess. And although his one term isn't considered a rousing success, he kept us out of war, focused our attention on energy policy, kept us out of war, protected huge amounts of land, was at the helm during the creation of eight million jobs, brokered peace between Israel and Egypt, and kept us out of war. 40 years later, Jimmy’s still as dedicated to public service as ever. Oh, and for the record, let's repeat one more time: he didn't say "malaise," and he did get high marks from the public for his "Crisis of Confidence" speech. Carter's post-presidency is where he really shines (although his pre-presidency race-against-time prevention of the meltdown of the Chalk River nuclear plant while in the Navy was pretty heart-poundingly badass), and he warrants every accolade we can throw Daily Kos member 81380's way.
