Description
President Jimmy Carter was a "political failure, but a substantive and often visionary success as president," says biographer Jonathan Alter. He tells Chuck Todd that the former president, now a week into receiving hospice care, has had his White House accomplishments severely undervalued — and the efforts in his post-presidency overstated, as he took on a role of "freelance secretary of State" to the chagrin of his successors.
