re: Y'all remember when Jimmy Carter went into Hospice care?

I was a full grown adult during his term and he did a good job, just did not cater to the Washington Cliff Dwellers (the real folks that run the country and never actually stand for an election) and they used the media to discredit him.

I wasn't old enough to remember him. I turned 3 years old on the last day of his term, but from what I have read and heard others say about him, he was probably the last president who wanted to be president for the right reasons. He truly wanted to do good. Evidently he hated being president which you can argue is a sign that he was a good president.

Its like in the movie the Gladiator. Caesar wanted Maximus to be the next leader of Rome because he would have ruled with his best interest being Rome.

Commodus was a politician and when he overhead Caesar telling Maximus he wanted him to be Rome's next leader, he was willing to do anything to gain power so he kills Caesar, has Maximus's wife and son killed and land burned and sold Maximus as a slave.

That's politics in a nutshell. Those who want the power want it for self interest. Anyone who actually wants to do good is a threat to other people's best interest
