Jimmy Carter was...WAS an very intelligent man. Degree in Nuclear Engineering is nothing to sneeze at. He did several tours in the Silent Service.

But as president he was woeful. I don't know what happened between the Silent Service and the Presidency to the crazy state of affairs we have today. Makes me sad in a way that some one who was so smart and so capable descended into the raving lunatic

He has done more to damage the reputation and discredit this country than any terrorist could have dreamed of. His leadership or lack thereof can been seen as the nexus of the two biggest nuclear threats to the planet, Iran (while he was in office) and North Korea (after he was fired).
Imagine if we had a real man in office when the mad mullahs took over Iran?
I still can't believe that they named an attack sub after this clown. My dog deserves one more than he does.

My wife is a nuclear physicist for the Navy and I keep reminding her of Jimmy and Kerry whenever she ribs any of our Air Force or Army friends.

Hmmm. Maybe there IS something to this long term effects of Nuclear Power problem. The ol' Peanut Farmer certainly shows signs of SOME kind of dementia.

I agree a degree in Nuclear Engineering is nothing to sneeze at. What year and what accredited program did he receive his degree in?

So a Nuclear Engineer pronounces "nuke-u-lar" the same as W?

"Degree in Nuclear Engineering is nothing to sneeze at."

I do not believe that Carter ever achieved a bachelor's degree in any subject. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Interesting subject. Carter never served on a nuclear sub. One of the "official" Carter websites (interpret "official" as "friendly") I visited said that he left the Navy "at his own request", prior to any nuclear submarine duty. My understanding is that he resigned in order to return to Plains to take over the family business. I found no statement that he had a "degree in Nuclear Engineering", but I could have missed it.
