Jimmy+Carter

"Here before me is the Bible used in the inauguration of our first President in 1789, and I have just taken the oath of office on the Bible my mother gave me just a few years ago, opened to the timeless admonition from the ancient prophet Micah: “He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." || Born: October 1, 1924 in Plains, Georgia... From the very start of his presidency, Jimmy Carter attempted to make the office more personable and accessible -- he walked along the inaugural parade route, ended the playing of //Hail to the Chief//, and carried his own luggage. Elected largely on his promise to never lie to the American people, Carter soon seemed out of place in the vastness of the presidency. Events conspired to further impede his progress -- rising energy costs, high unemployment, Americans held hostage in Iran, Soviets in Afghanistan. A man of peace who took pride in bringing together age-old antagonists, Carter was finally viewed by his countrymen as lacking presidential stature. || US Presidents Home Page References: Bible Quote: Christian Heritage Center //(The Crown College of the Bible)// [] []
