That's four of them. I rather think Carter was a good human being, regardless of whether or not you think he was a good president.

I can't really agree with that given how he treated Cambodia and supported the Khmer Rouge, as well as other crimes against humanity in the name of "opposing Communism."

Yeah but if you ignore some of the most heinous atrocities ever perpetrated he's a nice guy
