Carter did achieve peace between Egypt and Israel, and put the peace process on a roll; it was not his fault that the Israelis reneged on their obligations, or that the Presidents who followed himsided with the Israelis.
I agree with you that Sharon and Netanyahu did nothing to promote peace, and worse they promoted the appartheid policies followed by Israel today.

I am still trying to figure out his peace prize. If you have looked at the Israeli-Palestinian situation lately, there is still the same apartheid and ethnic cleansing being practiced by Israel in both their country proper and the occupied West Bank that we boycotted South Africa, and sent troops to Bosnia for.
Considering that Sharon and Netenyahu have done absolutely nothing to promote peace with their neighbors there still is no peace.

I agree. The way he has conducted himself and the endeavors he has engages in since he left office should serve as a model for all ex-presidents.

Carter record also included 10 million jobs, which tarnishes any GOP president, including Reagan. Carter did not engage in attacks and deception of the voters, I did not find anything to blame him for with the exception of his brother dealing with Libya’s Gaddafy, which he denounced. He was fiscal concervativend a man of religious convection. The only President who succeeded in forging peace the Middle East that earned him a Nobel Prize. His peaceful, humanitarian, and democracy efforts are well known. Carter image is that of the “Good American”, in contrast with many others who portray the “Ugly American” abroad.
What got Carter was the Iran hostage crisis, he Feds laon tightening more than Reagan carisma, theatricals , or statesmanship.
