| − | Jimmy Carter was the 39th [[President of the United States of America]] following [[Gerald Ford]] and preceding [[Ronald Reagan]]. He was a [[Democrat]] who served from 1977-1981, after being the Governor of Georgia. He is regarded by some [[United States of America|Americans]] across the political spectrum as being an ineffectual president, and is considered by many [[conservative]]s to be among the worst presidents in the entirety of American history. His inability to meet the challenges that were presented to the nation during his time in office helped lead to the election of [[Ronald Reagan]] in 1980 and the triumph of the modern American conservative movement. He has, nevertheless, been unusually active as an ex-president, serving as an election monitot and peace advocate, in which capacities he was recognized with the [[Nobel Prize|Nobel Peace Prize]]. | + | Jimmy Carter was the 39th [[President of the United States of America]] following [[Gerald Ford]] and preceding [[Ronald Reagan]].
