[malaise]

2. It's beautiful warm and sweet, but it's yesterdays best photo

A DUer posted it yesterday.

[EarnestPutz]

21. OK then, the best photo two days running. Two generations, two heroes.

[Resistance1]

49. I didnt see it yesterday

Im glad this was reposted as i missed it yesterday

[EarnestPutz]

58. Me too. Just seeing Jimmy's picture has always made me happy. And now Stacy does it too.

[sheshe2]

3. You made me tear up.

That is so beautiful.

[AnnaLee]

4. Wow. Best ever!

[grantcart]

5. Two giants

[broiles]

11. Two really decent people!

[Iliyah]

6. K & R . . .

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. Two great people

[RainCaster]

8. Yeah...

This is a moment Stacy will remember for the rest of her life. She deserves this and more.

[friend of m and j]

51. PRIDE ON CARTER'S FACE

He is proud of Stacey and also proud that Georgia can still produce a person that has the character and intelligence to follow his footsteps to the WH. She will remember this moment the rest of her life and inspire her in the great future she has in front of her. (Jimmy would probably teach her how to grow peanuts if she asked him).

[UTUSN]

9. Resolved: That this be *pinned* here! "President ABRAMS" sounds excellent to me!

[PJMcK]

10. Thank you, 634!

My first vote was cast for Jimmy Carter and he has been a touchstone throughout my adult life.

President Carter is one of the finest men to ever hold the office of the presidency. His life afterwards has been a model of selfless living.

He's a giant.

[pazzyanne]

20. + 1 nt

[warmfeet]

43. Indeed.

[Throckmorton]

65. Same here, 1980.

As my late wife April would say;

Want proof that the world is not fair, ex-president Jimmy Carter, president Ronald Reagan.

[Blue Owl]

12. K&R

Righteous!

[Hekate]

13. What a lovely moment

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. Damn those onions.

[wryter2000]

15. Wow

Don't tell me they never met before.

[tarheelsunc]

16. Great photo but why aren't they wearing masks? eom

[Glorfindel]

19. The photo was made in 2018

No reason to wear masks then.

[tarheelsunc]

28. Makes more sense lol. Thanks! eom

[BigmanPigman]

17. I stand by my choice for POTUS 1980! The only GOOD choice!

I turned 18 and there was/is still only one choice...the Dem! Voted Dem down ballot in every single election, local and fed. Dems show both brains and empathy. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

[sandensea]

18. +1

Nothing came easy to Carter - but he never abandoned his principles.

And his efforts on energy were decisive in popping the OPEC bubble in March 1980 - which made the "Reagan recovery" possible.

[murielm99]

50. My husband was in the hospital

with a broken leg on election day. I begged the county clerk for an absentee ballot for him. I mean, who plans ahead for a broken leg? She gave me a ballot for him, and a deadline to turn it in. I drove seventy-five miles round trip WITH A BABY, to get his vote and the ballot turned in. The county clerk smiled at me and was always warm and friendly after that.

Of course, we both voted for Carter.

[BigmanPigman]

52. Yup, Reagun screwed this country and we have been

paying the same BS game for 40 years....most of my life. I am tired but angry, the GOP brings out the fighter in me, and I'm a pacifist! My grandmother HATED Nancy Reagun for over 20 years. She was 101 when she got dementia and forgot who Reagun was. I wish I could forget all of this.

[Mr. Evil]

22. Wow! A gentleman and a gentlelady.

Between the two to them an IQ that all the MAGAts combined could never approach.

[EarnestPutz]

23. There was a harmonic convergence of kindness in the universe at that moment. You can still feel it.

[ananda]

24. Love

[Habibi]

25. I can't describe how much I love this photo. nt

[Roy Rolling]

26. It's true!

The arc of justice is long!

[JI7]

27. So happy Carter is here to see this .

[burrowowl]

29. 2 Great people!

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. I really needed that. Thanks!

[chillfactor]

32. I can't open Instagram

so I did not get to see "Today's Best Photo"

[Poiuyt]

33. He still has his great smile!

[nuxvomica]

34. I'd call this "The Winners"

Yes, they both suffered defeats but both won the long game, the only win that counts.

[Collimator]

63. That, is a hellva good point.

It takes a rare form of character to pull oneself up from great disappointment and loss and direct one's energy into the service of others.

This is not to say that Carter and Abrams were not motivated by a desire to serve when they each ran their unsuccessful races. But to lose out on a chance to exert obvious power in one's own name and then dedicate one's life to putting power into other people's hands is greatness at an elevated level.

[FuzzyRabbit]

35. Great photo: Former Georgia governor and future Georgia governor.

And if we're lucky, former president and future president.

[Blue_true]

36. The mutual warmth each is showing toward the other gives one lots of hope. nt

[kimbutgar]

37. I saw this picture and immediately contributed to fair fight through Act Blue

[onecaliberal]

38. 💕

[oasis]

39. "Georgia" nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Huge amounts of compassion, love and humility in that photo.

Definitely two Democratic heroes............ ..........

[Leghorn21]

41. This is so fine

Thank you so much, 6, sending around!!

[Lucky Luciano]

42. Two presidents?

[dai13sy]

44. Awesome

Love, love, love this!!

[weissmam]

45. Hard to Top that

[Evolve Dammit]

46. America missed an opportunity in 1980. JEC is/was the real deal and a wonderful man.

[colorado_ufo]

47. No controversy! Absolutely the day's best photo!

[smirkymonkey]

48. Love this!

[Mickju]

53. The mutual respect and admiration just jump out of that photo.

[Star-Thrower]

54. At the risk of having my hands slapped

for posting improper posts, I love this photo. That being said I will mostly be a "lurker" and will stick to my subscriptions. Art and poetry.

[Stinky The Clown]

55. Once and Future Georgia Governors

What else might they eventually have in common?

[SpankMe]

56. Maybe even once and future presidents? She's pretty young, you know. Lots of time! n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

57. That's exactly the allusion of the rest of my post

"What else might they eventually have in common?

[BobTheSubgenius]

59. As has been said...James Earl Carter is probably the best MAN to have ever occupied the office.

BHO could possibly cross into that charmed circle, but he has a LOT to accomplish to be mentioned in the same breath. A much more accomplished President, but I'm talking about perfecting the human condition, not the political.

[Maru Kitteh]

60. Beautiful photo of two very beautiful people.

Such love, hope and promise in that photo.

[greyl]

Thanks for posting...

[napi21]

68. America didn't realize what they when Jimmy was Prez. MAYBE they see him a a GREAT MAN now.

I'm so proud He is a Georgian, and amazed he's so sharp & inspiring at 95!
