It's easy, I think, to take a revisionist position on past administrations (as I did above on the catastrophic Nixon & Ford presidencies) and say that they are bad. Historically, however, President Carter still ranks ahead Nixon & Ford(https://www.c-span.org/presidentsurvey2021/?page=overall), and light years above the Orange Moron, er, Mr. Trump. Despite the fact that President Carter couldn't get a break from the media, his presidency looks better by the day...at least to me.
FP, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was simply musing about his greatest weakness in trusting his friends from Georgia to be as honest as he was himself. The many scandals early in his administration made folks distrust his judgment and ability to govern.

Harriet, thanks for the clarification.
Punkinhead works for me. And it suits him. By that I mean dumoty. This ended up on the wrong thread I think.
Gosh, Jen, the man just lost his wife and is dying himself. A little kindness here and there is good for all of us.
I think she was referring to the melonhead who irritates us all?
How unkind.
