Bob, I remember that day, as I went to his speech that night. How many presidents can say they made an exponentially more significant difference as ex-president than as president?
Like him or not Jimmy Carter left his footprint on America. I love his activities after his presidency. Not one to sit on his laurels he gave of himself to help others.
Well said, Bob. He was a winner, no doubt about it. A memorable line from a eulogy by Jerry Ford this week, read by his son Steve. When asked how he liked his post-presidential activities his answer "Beats pickin' cotton". Bravo, Jimmy.
A role model for humanity.
Amen. Imagine if we were all like that.
We’ve all been there. Here. Wear my tie. I got a million of them. California ruined me for ties.
I'll take any tie you have, Jack. You are so stylish.

Great point, Peter.
So many do a little fundraising, some speaking engagements and some writing. Or painting. Jimmy Carter just went out and did it.
Carter was a great person by his deeds. I worked on three Habitat projects and it felt great to be a part of helping others.
The man truly walked the walk.
So many could take a lesson from him.
Persons of his character and integrity are rare. We may not see his kind again, sad to say.
Yes. Folks need to pick up a hammer in his honor and get to work. There are so many great projects to get involved in.
Stumbled as a POTUS, but hit it out of the park as a human being. A rarity in today's morally bankrupt country.
So perfectly said, Erik

Admirable, and not just a ceremonial pounding of the first nail.

There were some wonderful eulogies, including that one from Steve.
