Agreed, he may have been a terrible president but his post-presidency has been one of the better ones.
Not surprised. Dollar General thrives in tiny towns like his.
The home, in rural Plains, Georgia (about a 2½-hour drive south of Atlanta) is a two-bedroom ranch assessed at just $167,000, which is "less than the value of the armored Secret Service vehicles parked outside," the Post reports.
Does Carter really need a SS detail? I mean... who is honestly going after this guy at this point? He's probably the most folksy, inoffensive President in history. He's best known for building houses for hurricane victims.
If he didn't have it, he'd be asking for trouble. I can see some nut job wanting to make a name for himself trying to harm him. It would also look very bad for us as a country to allow him to be harmed.
I suppose there is no commandment that you must live above the level of a typical American, but everybody would be just as impressed if he were to live in an upper-middle class suburban home (no need for an Obama $8.7 million mansion) instead of a below-average home.
