You’ll have to go a long way to find a kinder more decent man than Jimmy Carter. And he has been sharp as a tack and still going strong even after several serious health problems. I am looking forward to his appearance!

Such an amazing couple. And I think Mr. Carter will always be an
unparalleled example of how a former president can best spend his life in service to the people.

They ARE an amazing couple. He singlehandedly brought more attention to Habitat for Humanity than any other public figure. A humble and moral and genuinely God-fearing man. And Rosalyn, too, right along side him. I look at him, and then at trump, and the only thought that comes is - "Lordy, Lordy, how far we've fallen..."

He is an inspiration. He and Rosalyn are gracious, humble people. His Sunday School classes are powerful.

Such a good example for all of us. I know he won’t, but just once I’d like to hear him say “Some people are saying the president is a moron...”

And then immediately launch one of those Trump “thank you everyone, thank you” as he and Rosalyn leaves the stage.
