I think he's done more post-president than as president.
It's good to know that the "pinnacle" of your career doesn't have to be the end of your career.

Look, if you have a substantive response to something I said then please proceed, by all means, but this is just more silly posturing.
I'm just pointing out that "tangible leadership" is not necessarily a good thing. Carter was a better leader than Reagan because of where he led us.

And how did people feel about his powers of leadership and where he had led us in the fall of 1980?
History didn't stop in 1980.
