Jimmy Carter installing solar panels on WH, inflation, Iran hostage & malaise speech


ABC’s David Muir, in (likely long ago) taped package on Jimmy Carter for his passing: “Ahead of his time, he was the first president to warn of climate change, installing solar panels on the WH, but the setbacks at home, rising inflation, growing gas lines would wear on the American people…Issues he tried to address in what was later dubbed his malaise speech, though he never used that word.”

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer says Jimmy Carter “was accused of presidential micromanaging, of excessive attention to detail,” but then had decades-old sound from a Boston Globe reporter gushing it was really just “Carter master[ing] a subject and then led, sometimes very effectively”

NBC’s Lester Holt on Jimmy Carter: “The Camp David accords showed Carter at his best. Idealistic. Tenacious. Leaving marathon talks…achieving a peace treaty that is still in place today, but, closer to home, Carter’s inexperience, and his distaste for political rough and tumble became serious handicaps. And when the economy tanked, so did Carter’s popularity. He seemed to blame Americans themselves.”
