Former President Jimmy Carter. Whether Republican or Democrat I respect the position of President.

President Carter was a genuinely decent man. You can't say that about every politician.

President Carter was a good and decent man. I've seen it written that a good and decent man doesn't make a good president. Unfortunately; I believe that was true of President Carter. However; I believe he did his best for his country, and now he belongs to the ages.

After Carter the democrat party went liberal more and more to the point they were for everything that is against the Bible.

Jimmy Carter would be a wonderful neighbor, he just wasn't a good President. I remember his administration. My salary was "peanuts" back then. Rest in Peace.

Gentleman. Kind. Statesman. Some of the men around him did him no favors. Jody Powell, Hamilton Jordan - they were ill-equipped for Washington swamp.
Jimmy Carter and his wife elevated Havitat for Humanity. Built a ton of homes. Taught Sunday School and had a deep faith.
Think he heard “Well done good and faithful servant,”? I believe so.

Almost 34 years ago, I was a banquet manager for the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta. One afternoon, I was sitting in our office when three men walked in. Two were Secret Service agents, the other was former President Jimmy Carter.
Our staff knew that he was going to be there that day to speak to a group of local businessmen, but I thought that meant that he would be going directly into the meeting room to deliver his remarks, and then leaving. To my surprise, here he is walking into the office with his broad smile and shaking hands with every one of the staff that were there and talking with us all as if he had met us all before. It turned out that he had, at least most of them.
When he came to me, I introduced myself to him. He wanted to know about me......where I was from, about my family, and what my parents did for a living. I explained that my Father was Postmaster in a small town in South Carolina and that my mother taught 4th grade. We compared our thoughts of being from a small town and had a very nice conversation. A very kind and personable man. As for the rest of the staff, I learned that this was not unusual as he had done this before with them, and when he would return, he would always retain this information on later visits.
Over the next few years, when he had engagements at our hotel, he would always stop by our office and visit, remembering staff member's names and recalling bits of information about them. Sometimes, if he had the time, he would actually sit on our couch in the office and just chat with us all.
Each time after that first time, he would walk in and shake my hand and call me by my name and ask how my family was doing. I did not always agree with his politics, but he was always a very kind, warm, and genuine Southern gentleman.
Jimmy Carter passed away today at age 100. I am most thankful that I had the chance to know him.
May he rest in eternal peace

Could not agree with you more My CEO was on the board of the Carter Center in Atlanta and took me to a breakfast where I got to meet him and Rosalyn Just an amazing human and the things the Carter Cemter accomplished are just mind blowing He was not a good politician because he believed in the goodness of all men That was his biggest fault He was too good to be a good politician
