My husband recently watched the documentary "Rock and Roll President" which is about Jimmy Carter. I wasn't home to watch it, but he gave it very good reviews so I thought I'd pass the recommendation along.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on CNN! You could probably get a DVD at the library if it isn't streaming.

It was a fun and different campaign, the summer before my senior year in college. Rolling Stone magazine did a cover story on Carter and we were all interested in what he had to say. It was a refreshing break from the drawn out end of the Vietnam war and the corruption of the Nixon/Agnew administration.

While not the greatest President- he ranks #1 in impactful post-presidency and no one else even comes close.

Inspite of opposition by both parties and many high ranking military commanders he refused to disband the paratroops. He built the highly successful Rapid Deployment Force around his paratroopers. He quietly enhanced Special Operations capabilities. He was the only President I ever saw visit Fort Bragg or other Airborne posts. He was the only President I remember thanking us on behalf of our nation and expressing personal gratitude for our service.
I am grateful we had a President of his integrity during those tumultuous times.
