(19,258 posts)Nicely done! I'm not a crier, nevet have been, but I was deeply movedby these. This one, though, is my favorite, because what a contrast!
I love this one, too, but I'll force myself to stop here. (Because if I don't, I might be here all night! )

(20,380 posts)Photo released from President Joe Biden's visit with Jimmy Carter
by Sarah WynnTue, May 4th 2021 at 1:52 PM
The Carter Center posted the photo on their verified Twitter account Monday night. It shows President
Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden meeting with former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady
Rosalynn Carter at their home in Georgia. (Photo courtesy: The Carter Center, CNN Newsource)
Biden paid a visit to the 39th President at his home before a drive-in rally near Atlanta last week.
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter did not attend Biden's inauguration in January as they have spent the
COVID-19 pandemic mostly at their home in Plains, Georgia. It was the first time the couple missed
the ceremonies since Carter was sworn in as the 39th president.

(10,117 posts)one with the Bidens looking like giants. Is this a real photo?
Rhiannon12866
(227,318 posts)And yes, that is a real photo, I've seen it before. I think it's a matter of perspective since the Bidens are higher and closer - and since both of the Carters were well into their 90s, they've likely gotten smaller with age.

(10,117 posts)this much of a distortion.
Found this article that explains in depth how camera focal length and size of room make the difference so pronounced. They should have switched Jill & Joe with Jimmy & Rosslyn for a comparison pic. (Though, maybe too difficult for them to get up?)

(4,320 posts)Hope you have a good New Year. It's hard to wish that, knowing what's coming into the White House. But I appreciate all of the laughs and tears you have provided for the DU community.
Stay well!

(13,754 posts)the reason we only got one term of him was because a lot of people (and you know who you are) used him as a synonym for "failure":, backstabbing, blaming, taking points from the other side, mid eat, all the same crap that kept out Kamala was tested out on him. I just hope someday, Kamala becomes president and makes these same froce eat another round of crow like they are now.

(20,380 posts)all my co-workers were going off what a loser Carter was basically repeating RW talking points. My
response was "Well now we know our helicopter engines aren't sand proof, oh and by the way our
ex-Navy Commander-in-Chief had the balls to tell the Pentagon "Bring our people home" they are
the ones that failed not the President".
Took the smiles off a lot of faces that day plus made enemies for sticking up for him.
