He says his goal is to live long enough to vote for Kamala Harris for President.

Bob said...

I have always said he may not have been the greatest President but he is clearly the greatest ex-president ever.
Decent human being.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.

Mistress Maddie said...

He is quite something!!! And he said he wanted to live long enough to cast his vote for a winning lady president! Looks like he may get his wish.

Greatness is so quiet because it does not need to speak loudly.

Ellen D. said...

He's great!

Ms. Moon said...

Bless him. Just bless that sweet soul.

Jimmy Carter is truly a decent person who has done a lot of good things in his life, especially once he left the presidency. It looks like he'll be able to cast his vote for the first woman president!

Happy birthday Mr. President. He sounds like a lovely human being.

Most of what I know about him is from reading blogs such as yours, Jennifer. He was POTUS during my childhood, and often appeared on the news we watched on TV as a family before it was time to go to bed. So in a way, he was always there, even if he was never my president.

He is such a sweet man.

I so hope he meets his goal to vote for Harris. A man who became greater after his presidency.

Jennifer said...

I was too young when he was president to remember it (I think I have a vague memory of seeing him on TV one time). His humanitarian work around the world since he left office has been an example to the world. That, combined with his gentleness, kindness, and humility make him a great man. He's a credit to America.

Jennifer said...

I hope he makes it, and I hope he gets to see her win. After that he can go join his beloved wife. He's earned his rest. ♡

Jennifer said...

He's done so much good for the world.

Jennifer said...

And a good man.

Jennifer said...

Me too, Mitchell. And you're right.

Jennifer said...

He really is. He's better than we deserve a lot of the time.

Jennifer said...

Isn't that something?!

Jennifer said...

Yes. This.

Jennifer said...

Truth!

Jennifer said...

I think so too.

Jennifer said...

I'm hoping he does!

The very antithesis of #45.

I think he is probably the best all-around person to ever hold the presidency, even if he wasn't (in many people's eyes) the best president.
