Four Personality Types In The Presidential Character By James David Barber

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, was a very simple and relatable man from Plains, Georgia. His ideals appealed to the Southern democrats. Washington was in chaos after the resignation of Nixon and the citizens of America were tiered of the government’s drama. This is what made Carter so popular in the 1976 election. Carter appealed to America because he was an outsider to Washington. He also wanted to comply with what the people wanted for America; “Carter sought to portray himself as a man of the people” (“Jimmy Carter”, 2009). He used the Watergate scandal to his advantage. He promised America he would always be honest with them: “I’ll never tell a lie”. (“Jimmy Carter”, 2009). This seemed to win over America for the moment because he won

Jimmy Carter is widely known as one of the worst presidents to serve. I think that people are judging him too harshly; he is an overall great person and deserves to be recognized as such. He has accomplished many things during his four-year-term, and has accomplished many more things after his presidency. However, most people ignore the good that he's done and continue to criticize him for his past mistakes..

• President Carter arranged the Camp David Peace Accords between Israel and Egypt. (In the Middle East, America favored the country of Israel. The Soviet Union favored Israel’s Arab neighbors.)

As president, Jimmy Carter did not achieve much in the terms of passing bills within Congress, but he did not have total failure. Carter signed a bill that allowed the creation of the department of education. Congress also passed an energy bill that he proposed, although it was eighteen months after proposed, along with it was passed the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act. Later on the Department of Energy Organization Act was passed creating the Department of Energy. POWER GAME?

To start of, he and his cabinet administration started to tweak the foreign policy for people outside the United States lacking human rights. " Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood" (BrainyQuote, Web). Words like this shows how much Jimmy Carter cares about human rights. Next of, Jimmy Carter informed the press about women abuse.

As President Carter begins to speak about some of the comments that stood out to him, in this meeting at Camp David, it is evident just how out of touch President Carter had become with American citizens. The statement, “If you lead, Mr. President, we will follow” (President Jimmy Carter "Crisis of Confidence", 1979), is a point that stuck out to me. I believe that deep down, whomever is our President, the majority of the people, merely want a leader. Along with someone that will listen to their plight, as reflected in this statement, “Many people talked about themselves and about the condition of our nation” (President Jimmy Carter "Crisis of Confidence", 1979).

It is said that individuals are value and critique by their actions and character in life. However, it is essential to understand why it is that certain individuals make certain decisions despite the outcome it may create, in this particular case, presidents. Each president has distinctive qualities and traits that make them unique when compared to previous and future presidents. No matter the time span between the 1930’s to modern time, presidents are still held to scrutiny for their success and mistakes during office. Every president of the U.S. while serving their term has had to deal with specific issues regarding poverty, war, economic, or foreign problems.

He appealed to the public and had won. When he was governor though, he fought to end segregation, increased the amount of black officials, promoted equal education, etc. In 1976, Carter decided to run for president. His ideas of balancing the budget and his statement “I’ll never tell a lie” gained momentum during the Watergate Scandal. He won the election and became the 39th president of the United States of America. Jimmy Carter is truly the most influential person during the 1970s. Carter had believed that it was imperative we change our energy policy after the energy crisis in 1973. Carter had succeeded in creating huge emergencies stores of oil and natural gas. He also decreased foreign oil by eight percent. Carter was a human rights activist and had suspended aid to Chile, Nicaragua, And El Salvador because their governments abused their people. The Camp David Accords of 1978 was his biggest accomplishment. Israel and Egypt had signed a peace treaty which Carter had acted in as an arbitrator. Israel withdrew from Sinai and each government recognized each other’s power in the world. Jimmy Carter is my choice because he fought for what he had thought was right and did not give

Perhaps the number one event, that will cost Jimmy Carter his reelection for president was the Iranian Hostage Crisis that went on for approximately 444 days and held 52 American diplomat citizens hostage in Iran. Several Iranian students, stormed the American embassy on November 4, 1979. This had all occurred because the former, exiled, Shah of Iran had been permitted entry into the United States to receive medical treatment for cancer. In the 1950’s the Shah of Iran was appointed by the United States. He was a dictator, who ruled with violence and cruelty. The people of Iran, are traditionally Shiite Muslims and the Shah was taking Iran towards a more progressive society. This further upset the people of Iran who did not want their conservative

All presidents have fit into what is known as the six models of the presidency. These six models show the different elements that a president uses in office. Most presidents especially our modern presidents have drawn aspects from several of these models to form their presidencies. The first model is the Federalist Model. The main elements of this model are broad, popular appeal of the president regardless of public policy positions, strong assertions of executive authority in foreign affairs, general disregard of political parties, a preoccupation with official pomp and

William Jefferson Clinton is the former 42nd President of the United States. His professional and political life demonstrate some of the most positive aspects of his personal psychological profile, such as in relation to his "hypomanic" tendencies that enable furiously energetic work and productivity (Cruz, 2008). The same traits are also associated with a natural tendency toward behavioral compulsivity, which, in Bill Clinton's case, became most evident as details of his numerous extramarital affairs became public, especially in connection with the choices that he made about one particular relationship with a White House intern during his presidency (Cruz, 2008). All three views of motivation (i.e. psychoanalytical, humanistic, and diversity) as well as Henry Murray's Theory of Needs provide insight into his reasoning and choices.

By 1978 the thirty-year war that had been fought between Egypt and Israel had come to a point where there was a chance for peace. The area that had been at the center of the turmoil was the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. The problem was that both countries believed that they had the rights to this land: Israel, biblically and Egypt, politically. So an invitation by President Jimmy Carter to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel was extended. The invitation was for a meeting in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland at the presidential retreat, Camp David. The meeting was so that the framework of a peace agreement, known as the Camp David

Former United States President Jimmy Carter has been influential in the Arab-Israeli peace process for many decades. His involvement began with brokering the Camp David Accords during his Presidency. His efforts to “wage peace” have continued through the founding of the Carter Center and been recognized through the winning of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.

Carter firmly believed in self-determination for all people. Carter wished for the United States to take lead of law in global undertakings.Additionally, he needed the United States to lead the pack in advancing all inclusive human rights. Carter trusted that American power ought to be practiced sparingly and that the United States ought to evade military interventions as much as they could. He trusted that American relations with the Soviet Union would proceed to enhance and that the two countries could come to monetary and arms control understandings that would unwind Cold War strains.

On September 17, 1978, Egypt and Israel signed the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries. This was a pioneer, the first such treaty between Israel and one of its Arab neighbors, in the ongoing search for peace in the Middle East. The Camp David Accords happened between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar el-Sādāt with US president Jimmy Carter acting as the middle man. Sādāt and Begin were awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1978 for their contributions to the agreements.
