Well, we know he and his wife did not get the scary letters at Bush Sr.'s funeral.
My personal take on him was that he was in way over his head as President, and was probably the last "honest" Dem president. His administration was known for outrageously high interest rates (mortgages of 15% were typical).
Knowing what we know now, all the bad press he got, and the banking battles, the gas crisis, etc., all make more sense. Perhaps he was not their chosen candidate and was instead a populist favorite... so the Cabal had to ensure no second term.
Personal note - I was a little kid living in Georgia (military family), and we went to a fish fry he held as a presidential political rally in the county seat. It was a very nice time. Very Mayberry. A real "down-home" community picnic, with a greased pig chasing contest, horseshoes contest, all sorts of fun games and prizes, lively music, etc. It is a nice childhood memory.
He was very popular in Georgia at the time, and did a decent job as Governor. Like I say, I think he was in over his head as President, and probably had no help from any of the elites.
The Eisenhower effect, too much political theater being done behind his back. Jimmy is probably a good guy at heart surrounded by the deep sea of corruption
