He is a national treasure and we will miss him terribly when he is no longer here with us, though his example of how to be a decent man and President of the United States should be MANDATORY study to take the oath of office...

Carter is pretty far up there in age, and I'm hoping he is around a good long time, but if that isn't in the cards, I do hope he is around long enough to pass during a Democratic President's administration. I shutter to think what orange lardass would do or say.

Religious belief does not automatically equate to superiority of morals and ethics.
I very much like Jimmy Carter in spite of his religious beliefs, not because of them.
