Hey you guys lay off JC. Jimmy Carter was a good decent man who, as president, was overwhelmed by the events of the times. Whatever you may say about his abilities as president, his honor, courage and patriotism are beyond question. Besides, one only has to look at the candidates in the 76 election to see that, for all his faults, Carter was indeed the best choice at the time.

Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself, August. While I personally find the current practice of naming ships after living people abhorrent, if that is what we're gonna do, than Mr. Carter deserves the honor just as much as anyone else. I hate it when people demonize Carter like he was the liberal equivalent of Hitler or something, he was well meaning, actually had some pretty good ideas, and was as honest and moral as can be. Do I disagree with some of the decisions he made, of course, but that should not lead to ragging on someone who is by all means a great American. Plus, he was a bubblehead, give him some credit!
