He should be known as the President who gave away the Panama Canal, inflation, gas lines and "the rescue that failed," a foolish scheme to drive thrown Downtown Tehran, Iran and free embassy hostages! An accident in the desert prevented the attempt, which probably resulted in more deaths!!
My cousin served and died in Vietnam and came from a very poor family. Sorry, I will never forgive Carter for pardoning the rich kids that skipped town to Canada. Carter was naive on many fronts but at least was not a crook like Clinton, Obama and Biden all worth millions.
Who put him in office? The voters. That's where your issue is at. Remember that when it comes to brandon. Who put Brandon at the WH? If the voters wouldn't have voted for these men they would never have been in office. You want to hate? Hate the voters.
Carter: 40 yrs HfH was penance for his economic policies raising 4% variable rate home loans to over 20%. Millions became homeless in USA...😢 Price of gas went up 4x, 5x, limited to 5 gallons a week & had to wait hours in line. Your car would use 6 gallons of gas while you were waiting to buy 5. Masters & PHDs were working at gas stations & clerks at stores, BS and high school, you were out of work for 1 to 2 years or longer until Reagan came along.
wasn't just rich kids that went to Canada. Vietnam by every measure was a stain on the history of America. A proxy war that literally sacrificed over 58,000 American lives for no definable benefit to the United States. The fact that people refused to participate doesn't make them dishonorable.
@@appledraviaLiving under his administration was no bed of roses. It's easy to eulogize him now, but his policies were disastrous. (Anyone else remember the "windfall profits tax"?)
He was carrying out his orders from the DS just like all the others before or since, except Trump. Trump is the only one who has the balls to take-on the DS.
When you talk about Jimmy Carter you show respect. That man did things for this country despite being sick. He did more things for America after the presidency then any other former president ever did.
@ were you of voting age at the time Carter was president? I was. Carter knew how to lecture and address the nation, but not how to successfully lead the nation. His foreign policies, energy policies, and domestic agenda didn’t turn out well.
I was transferred by a company I worked for a year or so before Carter became president. A family of four forced into buying a home in the new area and I can assure you the interest rate at the time and this is not a misprint, 14.75% for 30 years. Why was it that high and for that long, because they could get away with it. We refinanced many times as interest rates dropped and paid it off in less than 15 years with no help from Jimmy Carter. Don’t get me started on fuel prices.
1 person should not get all of the blame or all of the credit . But my cousin Jimmy had not one single selfish bone in his body . Let that sink in deep . He was always the same small town good hearted smart hard working person . Same simple range style home in Plains Ga since 1961 . Married 77 yrs to the same strong woman . Full life , that never got off course with who he was deep down . My grandmother was a Carter , proud to be his cousin .
Would have liked Carter a lot more if I had never heard of him. Not a bad guy but did too many stupid things. Screwed up the Iranian situation. Gave away the Panama Canal which was a massive blunder. Got blamed for high inflation which really was not his doing but reached a peak in a long cycle that had been running since WW2. Embargos on Ag products which harmed farmers of which I was one at the time.
I was in the US Army under Jimmy shut down the government Carter. He was a good man, but a horrible President. How many days was the Government shut down under Jimmy Carter. 1977: Under President Jimmy Carter. Lasted 12 days. 1977: Under Carter. Lasted eight days. 1977: Under Carter. Lasted eight days. 1978: Under Carter. Lasted 17 days. 1979: Under Carter. Lasted 11 days. GOD bless and GOD rest his Soul.
Thank you for telling the truth. Jimmy Carter was a great humanitarian, and we should acknowledge that. But living under his policies was no bed of roses and we need to acknowledge that.
Most interesting is to hear some of Jimmy Carter’s campaign speeches as he vied (for consideration) to run as the Democrat Party choice for the Presidency. As he attained that endorsement and eventually became President…the Democrat Party moulded him another direction from his original personal political beliefs. My recollection was that Mr. Carter was a very high ranking naval officer aboard a nuclear submarine…right off the Captain’s elbow. You have to be a very, very sharp/smart individual to earn that spot. Slings & Arrows aside, Mr. O Reilly states it well…Jimmy Carter was a PATRIOT ! R.I.P. Mr. President and thank you for your service !
I guess you haven't waited in line for gas more than a few minutes. Try for 2 hours only to be told sorry we have no more. Than proceed down to the next line. He should have stayed out of politics. It has a tendency to ruin many a good man. God Bless Submariners
Saying Carter "wasn't a good president" is like saying Biden has some minor memory issues. Carter was the worst president in history until Biden came along. That said however O'Reilly is ironically correct here for one critical point. Carter tried to be a good president. Unlike Clinton and Obama and then quite unlike the puppeteers including Obama who controlled Biden there's no doubt Carter meant well. He was a good man in the colloquial sense of being a good man. One of the last of the pre-modernist, pre-wokeism Southern Democrats.
George W Bush and Obama were also much worse than Carter. Bush killed the 4th ammendment allowed bankers to rob our country blind got us involved in 2 useless wars and destabilized the entire Middle East.
@@PeppermintSwirlThey are most certainly worse and I’d add Franklin Pierce, Millard Fillmore and Zachary Taylor to that list. He is maybe top 10 worst but certainly not the worst.
What you dont know is how awful his own party was to him while he served as president. They hamstrung him quite a bit. Ted Kennedy was a total dick to him.
Carter was undermined as a President. Not by Republicans but his own party. And if there is any good that came out of his loss in 1980 was some of those in Congress like Culver and McGovern and Bradamus. All 3 of those deserved thier losses in 1980
After the failed hostage rescue, Carter started JSOC, which included not only Delta Force but also created Seal Team Six. Not only that, but he funded the mujahedeen fighters that defeated the Soviets, which of course contributed in no small way to the eventual fall of the Soviets. All in all, two very substantive accomplishments.
I don't agree with most of his policies, but I can say, that Jimmy Carter was and is a true Democrat who loved this great country, and did his best to improve it, not destroying it like the nowaday #Democrats (aka socialist communists).
I was upset when i heard he died....i always root for people 2 make it 2 100...and i wish they would live way past 100...but the food is killing our culture....we need 2 go back 2 glass bottles and no plastic and hormones and stuff in the food...thats why the cancer is so high... i dont eat meat, dairy, and several others stuff because of that right now
President Carter was the first president I started noticing and the office itself.I remember hearing at his inauguration he thanked his predecessor Gerald Ford for keeping the nation together after the Nixon resignation. I admired him for it.He may not been the greatest president,but he was a great peacemaker.Godspeed Mr.President.
First time I voted in an election voted for Carter and it was the only Democrat I ever voted for. Recent college grad during his tenure economic times at that time under Carter was terrible. He was a God fearing man but a bad leader of America period! Don't sugar coat his presidential legacy, and he is being recognized at his death as the 39th president not a church goer his record as president is documented. REmember the shah the hostages, gas lines, inflation you name it not a leader.
76 election was the first time i voted. Bill is right the Washington democratic establishment didn't like carter. Maybe a historian can comment but i think the same thing to lesser degree happened to Harry Truman the Roosevelt people seen him as a hayseed as they called it in that day. The same with LBJ the Kennedy people many from Harvard didn't take to Johnson. Many hated him.
Most of his appeal was the fact he was a political outsider and this did draw the ire of some Democrats, hence why Ted Kennedy was able to run a fairly close primary against him in 1980.
O'Reilly should keep his opinions to himself and sit this one out based on his own record of flaws and misdeeds that got him fired and paying enormous settlements..

He was a great president as far as I’m concerned. Our social security and Medicare were safe. Gas prices and groceries were at an all time low. Bill stfu, sick of people like him. Rest up Mr. President! A job well done!
Your experience under Carter was the exception. His Leftist policies & his spineless way of governing 100% crushed the majority of the American economy. BTW, Bill O'Reilly knows absolutely WAY more about Carter than you. So... go hate Bill O'Reilly for other reasons... but not on his knowledge of Carter's legacy.
This was the first Presidential election I voted in. I was young and I didn’t know diddly about political parties or politics, but I knew enough to consider that an unknown, small time, state Governor probably wasn’t the best choice. He was a disastrous President.
@@henryblicharz5556it was led by a former do nothing former Senator named John Tunney. He did everything he could to undermine President Carter and was the mastermind behind Ted Kennedy running.
One of Jimmy Carter's mistakes was that he tried to do too much by himself. He was very intelligent yet failed to delegate major functions of his administration. I was a young sailor during his term and never really thought about who the president was or what his policies were. But I did know about gas lines, rising prices, and hostages. Things grew brighter when Reagan came into office.
I can appreciate that Carter was a decent principled man, however I lived through this era and he was feckless ineffective leader. I rather have a President that inspires, keeps us safe and keeps money in our pockets…and maybe is not so nice.
SELLING THE PANAMA CANAL FOR A DOLLARS TO THE PANAMANIAN GOV. WOULD LIKE TO REALLY KNOW WHY? AND WHAT ENCOURAGED HIM TO SO, WHATS THE ANGAL WHAT WAS THE GAIN?
@stevep5408 at the time Panama needed the money, they sold it to us when France couldn't complete the canal. So we went in a created the then 7th wonder of the world. Now the Chinese are in there and wanting to control those valuable shipping assets and working with the Panamanians, a very bad situation for the free world! We as the US need to establish good report with our S American neighbors and Canada that one day we might become the greatest trading partners in this hemisphere, thus thwarting China's aggressive policies and solidifying us as a world power of many friends and allies
@@garyrodriguez8414 How is threatening your allies by saying you are gonna take the canal back a good thing? I am from Europe, I was glad Trump won. He kicks Europe around and maybe that incentives my leaders to finally secure ourselves and not rely on the USA, An increasingly unreliable empire. But it is better than that. With Trump being so threatening, this probably will spark a decoupling from the USA, if my leaders do not stick their heads in the sand. Anyway, this is not good for you. So explain me American. Why is threatening Panama good? Why is softly threatening Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark) good? Why is mocking the prime minister of Canada good?
Majority were not great president. More were probably average then great. But a man who sincerely tries his best is a good president. Even with mistakes. Carter never stopped serving after his presidency was done. Most retire, he didn't. So he has his community work, and he was a good man in general. A loving marriage.
Jimmy Carter was so well loved around the world and a man of conviction and decency we love him and will miss true humanitarian who cared about helping others his legacy will live on. While we in America do not want to remember crimmal crooked Donald Trump because he do not have a legacy.
It wasn't given away. Can't you comprehend what you hear? There are conditions set for which the U.S. can take it back. They are written in the accord. Geese.
Just a young kid when he was president. He was always on tv with breaking issues delaying shows I wanted to watch before my bed time so I was not a fan😅

A good, honest man, but political and economic novice. His tenure troubled by high inflation and energy shortages and high prices that he seemed unable to take a lead and solve, rather he offered no direction. Failed leadership in hard times.

Bill stfu, sick of people like him.
Rest up Mr. President!
A job well done!
We had high gas prices and gas lines, double digit inflation. He made a mess. That’s why Reagan got in on a landslide.
@ Your opinion
Not mine.
I thrived under his presidency.
You were in gas lines, let’s be real and truthful
@@ashleyn8946 That’s not my story. That’s yours.
Your experience under Carter was the exception.
His Leftist policies & his spineless way of governing 100% crushed the majority of the American economy.
BTW, Bill O'Reilly knows absolutely WAY more about Carter than you.
So... go hate Bill O'Reilly for other reasons... but not on his knowledge of Carter's legacy.
This was the first Presidential election I voted in. I was young and I didn’t know diddly about political parties or politics, but I knew enough to consider that an unknown, small time, state Governor probably wasn’t the best choice. He was a disastrous President.
Honestly, having lived through Jimmy’s Rollercoaster tenure he could have done better but for his Corrupt Democratic Colleagues!
The Democratic Machine just didn’t like Carter !
@@henryblicharz5556it was led by a former do nothing former Senator named John Tunney. He did everything he could to undermine President Carter and was the mastermind behind Ted Kennedy running.
Interesting and valid comparison O'Reilly has of the swamp hating Carter and Trump.
It's an accurate comparison. The lame stream press disliked him too. They didn't cover for him like they did for Clinton Obama, and Biden.
One of Jimmy Carter's mistakes was that he tried to do too much by himself. He was very intelligent yet failed to delegate major functions of his administration. I was a young sailor during his term and never really thought about who the president was or what his policies were. But I did know about gas lines, rising prices, and hostages. Things grew brighter when Reagan came into office.
The last time All the president including Trump was together for a funeral was when senior bush died.
Carter was a better Sunday school teacher than president
I can appreciate that Carter was a decent principled man, however I lived through this era and he was feckless ineffective leader. I rather have a President that inspires, keeps us safe and keeps money in our pockets…and maybe is not so nice.
SELLING THE PANAMA CANAL FOR A DOLLARS TO THE PANAMANIAN GOV. WOULD LIKE TO REALLY KNOW WHY? AND WHAT ENCOURAGED HIM TO SO, WHATS THE ANGAL WHAT WAS THE GAIN?
Because of his sense of morality and fairness! How would Americans feel if a foreign power owned ten miles on either side of the Mississippi river?
@@stevep5408 He is an American, he thinks he owns the world
100 year lease expiration date---land belongs to Panama...not a difficult concept
@stevep5408 at the time Panama needed the money, they sold it to us when France couldn't complete the canal. So we went in a created the then 7th wonder of the world. Now the Chinese are in there and wanting to control those valuable shipping assets and working with the Panamanians, a very bad situation for the free world! We as the US need to establish good report with our S American neighbors and Canada that one day we might become the greatest trading partners in this hemisphere, thus thwarting China's aggressive policies and solidifying us as a world power of many friends and allies
@@garyrodriguez8414 How is threatening your allies by saying you are gonna take the canal back a good thing? I am from Europe, I was glad Trump won. He kicks Europe around and maybe that incentives my leaders to finally secure ourselves and not rely on the USA, An increasingly unreliable empire.
But it is better than that. With Trump being so threatening, this probably will spark a decoupling from the USA, if my leaders do not stick their heads in the sand.
Anyway, this is not good for you. So explain me American. Why is threatening Panama good? Why is softly threatening Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark) good? Why is mocking the prime minister of Canada good?
Whats a good president, god bless and rest in peace Sir
Majority were not great president. More were probably average then great. But a man who sincerely tries his best is a good president. Even with mistakes. Carter never stopped serving after his presidency was done. Most retire, he didn't. So he has his community work, and he was a good man in general. A loving marriage.
Jimmy Carter was so well loved around the world and a man of conviction and decency we love him and will miss true humanitarian who cared about helping others his legacy will live on. While we in America do not want to remember crimmal crooked Donald Trump because he do not have a legacy.
He owed it all to Watergate.
Jimmy Carter was too good a man for the job of president.
He was a peanut farmer
and a nuclear engineer--AND got the Nobel Prize. He was all of those people!
I’m not a democrat but I could respect Carter.. as a person he opposite of Biden Obama & Clinton. Condolences to Carter family RIP 39
Jimmy gave away the Panama Canal....He was just a weak man...As soon as Regan was elected...we got our hostages back... on week one...
It wasn't given away. Can't you comprehend what you hear?
There are conditions set for which the U.S. can take it back. They are written in the accord. Geese.
Reagan orchestrated the continued captivity of the hostages for political advantage and to state that phoney drama on inaguration day.
Reagan traded arms for hostages. The hostage takers then took more hostages and Reagan traded arms to get them back, too.
Age is no excuse for not knowing our presidents or our states
Just a young kid when he was president. He was always on tv with breaking issues delaying shows I wanted to watch before my bed time so I was not a fan😅
😂😂😂 Reagan was the last great president.
Carter: 40 yrs HfH was penance for his economic policies raising 4% variable rate home loans to over 20%. Millions became homeless in USA...😢 Price of gas went up 4x, 5x, limited to 5 gallons a week & had to wait hours in line. Your car would use 6 gallons of gas while you were waiting to buy 5. Masters & PHDs were working at gas stations & clerks at stores, BS and high school, you were out of work for 1 to 2 years or longer until Reagan came along.
You are wrong, especially about Reagan, just look up some of the stuff you accuse Carter of.
@mikebunch5553 there's an expression for this, drinking the Kool-Aid, after the believers at jonestown Guyana who drank poisoned Kool-Aid to go to heaven. Everything I said is fact. Reagan came in and cleaned up that mess.
@@stantonroyce9377 , Jimmy Carter was good friends with Jim Jones.
😢 I know Obama and OBiden SUCKED, but Carter was still the worst 😞
He was like Biden
Was it really necessary to say that about the former President at this moment.
Not a great president but shined with Habitat for Humanity and showed how to act after the office
A good, honest man, but political and economic novice. His tenure troubled by high inflation and energy shortages and high prices that he seemed unable to take a lead and solve, rather he offered no direction. Failed leadership in hard times.
To be a good President you have to be warm on the outside and cold on the inside.
A good man... not so good as president. Used to think he was the worst president in my lifetime. Then came...
Carter was rge first person I voted against. I was 18 in 1980. Carter was a horrifically bad President. Complete failure.
RIP
....Jimmy Carter....excellent example of "selected" as opposed to "elected"....happens all the time....if voting had an effect it would be illegal..,
How does one move up after a presidency?
Good? He wasn't even bad... terrible.
I'm sure the relatives of the hostages that were held for a year by Iran was sadly agree with his praise
Well, apparently, the Reagan campaign delayed the release of hostages so Reagan could have the victory. You can look it up.
Ask them about reagan's actions to keep those hostages captive in Iran to hurt Pres. Carter and state that phoney drama on inauguration day.
@David-t7s6y bs
@@David-t7s6y , do you have proof?
The flags in Tehran are at half mast..
I am sick of the wall to wall coverage of jimmy carter as if everyone didn’t hate him.
You are not a very good journalist and you are not even trying to.
Dont speak bad of the dead it is very low class
The news is amazing when you're alive you're the lowest of the low on the bottom of the list for the worst of the worst when you die you go to the top of the list is the best ever that's amazing what our news people do
Bill's just jealous. Cancel his content.
Nice!!!
I respect the office of president but not all people should be holding political office.
Carter taught Democrats in office of leadership especially president how to lead from BEHIND.
Carter seemed to be a humanitarian but was not presidential material!
RIP former president Jimmy Carter.
From the whole discussion you needed to quote this specific line for the title??? Shame on you, NewsNation… you should know better how to pay respect to a great and honorable man! RIP President Carter!!!
That's your opinion! Did you live thru the Carter years? What about the yellow ribbons?
Ever since this guy was president, our country went from #1 in education to #33 after he established the department of education. He gave away the panama canal which 25k Americans died building. He was absolutely one of the worst.
agree about education..disagree about Panama--Panama deserved their land back
We had gas lines. It was horrible
