What is Jimmy Carter best known for?

Answer 1

Although many people were not satisfied by Jimmy Carter's cautious handling of the Iran hostage crisis, the hostages were not killed and they did eventually return to the US, although they did so only after Carter left office. So, perhaps that was an accomplishment of his. Things could certainly have worked out worse than they did. And although Ronald Reagan, the President who followed Carter, is often given credit for the successful conclusion of the Cold War, we would also have to give Carter some credit for his judicious response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Many of Jimmy Carter's most notable accomplishments happened after he left office as President. He has been extremely active in supporting many worthy charitable causes, ranging from Habitat For Humanity to public health programs in Africa, he has often served as a diplomat in emergency situations, and has really done remarkable things as an ex-President.

Answer 2

Absolutely nothing. Jimmy Carter has been the worst President in American history (so far).

1. He negotiated the treaty that gave back the Panama Canal to a dictator.

2. He failed to support the Shah of Iran and encouraged him to abdicate. This kicked off the Iranian hostage crisis, and destabilized the entire Middle East, with effects we still feel today.

3. As a result, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries achieved a stranglehold on world oil production, greatly worsening the world economic collapse amid rapidly rising oil prices.

4. He encouraged a general culture of malaise in America.

Actually, there was one good thing that Carter did; he so mismanaged the United States that his successor, Ronald Reagan, was elected in a landslide victory, taking 49 out of the 50 states.
