Which US president was once a peanut farmer?

Rodney Harvey You dont give him his just deserts. Carter brought Israel and Egypt together with the Camp David Accords. During his administration there was not a single shot fired or bomb dropped against an enemy. He was also responsible for the release of the Iran hostages. The deal was completed and papers signed before he left office. They were released after Reagan took office because of political gamesmanship, but Saint Ronnie had nothing to do with the release. The decline of the middle class you speak of began with the Reagan administration with his deregulation of big business and banking, tax breaks for the wealthy, and his laughable idea of "trickle down economics"! It is always the conservatives who are less fiscally responsible, although they'd like you to believe it's the liberals. Bush, the worse president weve ever had, took a surplus left by Clinton, down to the largest deficit we've ever had by starting 2 unjustified wars, at the same time cutting taxes for the rich, leaving us with no way to fund the wars. Obama has reduced that deficit by more than 2/3!

There's two acceptable answers. Bill also has a nut job.

Not like somebody, who thinks he could walk straight into the White House without knowing anything about government. Somehow he finds these voters who thinks like him. LMAO!

William Laughlin ... Thanks William.. Carter also tried to initiate solar power as a serious project but Raygun squashed that attempt when he eked into the white house.. Imagine where we would be today with alternate power sources had Raygun not decided to delay free energy for twenty years because he thought that he knew better (or was it to protect his contributors iinterests?).

Yeah his wife

He was not inexperienced in government. He was one of many who became President after serving as governor of a state. Carter was governor of Georgia.

Jmz N Nesky You are absolutely right! In fact, Carter had installed solar panels on the White House and Reagan had them removed when he moved in! I guess he didn't want to rattle his cronies in the oil and coal industries. Just like the fuel he used, Reagan was a dinosaur.

williamrlaughlin, so when are you going to run for President since you know so much more than those who have walked that mile. It is easy to criticize from the bench.

Alyza Grijalva Reagan was governor of CA.

And Carter was the weakest and worst president this country has seen in the last 140 years. Until 2008, that is.

I am a fan of Carter and think he was a good president. But he was not a simpleton small farm peanut owner. He owned a conglomerate. And he was governor of a state. Hardly the bumbling fool that Reagan, the Hollywood "b" actor, made him out to be.

President Carter is one of the most underrated man to hold the office of the Presidency. Trump will go down as the WORST in our history.

I know a lot of people criticize him but I thought he was and I have bad president and did I don't think people knew at the time that in the depression his family would help out lots of people

He was a good President. Obama the worse one.

Rodney Harvey, why are you so angry?

Just that last statement shows you know absolutely nothing. Obama reduced the deficit by 2/3??????

If you lived in So Florida during his term you would detest this man. So nice...he got Castro to allow some folks to emigrate to the US to join their families ❤️ Sweet huh? The dumb bamboozled Carter received the dregs of the earth. Actually the citizens of Florida were the recipients. Castro sent from his prisons and mental hospitals. After that crime was rampant and So Fla became a terrible place to live. Thanks Carter!

Would that be GE ?

William Laughlin, Clinton only had a surplus because he shortchanged the entire military. I know because we were in the military at that time. There were NO cost of living wages, no re-up bonus', and our housing allowances were nil. It was very hard during those years for the military. Also hard with Obama, who cared more about kissing up to the enemy than he did our own country and it's LEGAL citizens.

Well said sir!

For God's sake do not forget tat he was assaulted by rabid rabbits in his stock pond!

add this to your spelling principles you always want two helpings of (pie) desserts

President Carter is one of my favorite presidents.

And he was Governor of Georgia before he ran for POTUS.

williamrlaughlin, Except I would argue Trump is the worst we've ever had. I wish we had George Bush president again, compared to this. I love Pres Carter ❤️
