34. Jimmy Carter brought a lot to the job.

He was foremost an intelligent, considerate human being.

He brought those to the job.

The inclination of some is to assume the title of POTUS magically endows the wearer of the crown with those virtues.
That is so wrong.
The job simply amplifies who you are to start with.

RIP Jimmy.
