3. American Classics.

Over 30 years out of office and good people all over America still love the couple.

30 years from now if the name Trump is spoken it will be with a turning of the head and spitting.

4. It's more than 40 years. He left office January 20, 1981.

[Chainfire]

16. Yep, it doesn't seem possible...

Sorry about the error, I was always good with figures, but lousy with numbers.

[rsdsharp]

20. It's just that the 80s should be 40 years ago!

35. Peacefully, gracefully, despite having only one term. . . . . nt

just stepped out of a Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland movie.

One of the best wedding pictures ever!

19. President Jimmy Carter turns 98 in one week.

Never made to being a "James" in all that time.

21. I served in the Air Force under 4 US Presidents...

Nixon , Ford, Carter, and That Bastard Reagan (as I always refer to him).

In my opinion, President Carter got a really raw deal. I loved that one off his first actions was pardoning all of the Vietnam War draft resisters. He had a LOT of accomplishments - the Camp David accords, creating the Departments of Education and Energy, and the Panama Canal treaties.

I had the highest respect for him.

I left the Air Force in 1984 before That Bastard Reagan got re-elected (. No way was I going to serve another hitch under him.)

24. Only President in the modern era to never have fired a shot in anger.

If I remember correctly, he said something to that effect, that his administration was the first in the 20th century to have never fired a shot in anger at an enemy.

And so far, the only one.

[BidenRocks]

22. He was my CIC.

I can see the car living in his library after his passing.
Not sold to the highest bidder.
tfg soils everything!
The Carters clean and build.
Yet Pres. Carter had the jokes on him.

25. I was in Plains in June.

Lovely community. The high school they attended is a museum now that faces segregation head on. Our visit was totally worth leaving the beaten path from Atlanta to Tallahassee. Glad we did it.

[BaeBnakes99]

27. Two extraordinary treasures

Looks like they were really living it up!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Why is he yelling at her?

[spanone]

30. I proudly voted for President Jimmy Carter

Thank you Jimmy and Roslynn for your service

[Godot51]

31. Beautiful day for beautiful people!

Jimmy looks thrilled but Rosalynn looks a little cautious. Or maybe she wants to take the wheel?

33. Its important to pay tribute to the people who brought decency to the White House.

One of those is in there now.

[halfulglas]

34. I proudly voted for him twice.

Unfortunately, he wasn't showman enough for a lot of people, or fake warm for others. But he was a trained engineer and wanted to make America work again. And yes, I was glad he pardoned the Vietnam protesters. Even in that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. To some, he didn't do enough because there were conditions attached, and for others who thought that was shameful, that anyone who didn't serve when asked was criminal and should serve time. (Of course, many of those are those whose draft number didn't come up and so were not personally affected by the draft, or those who had already served in peacetime or another war and were never faced with the moral and physical dilemma that was Vietnam.

May the Carters live long and prosper.

36. Notice Jimmy's cap says 39. . . . nt

[calimary]

38. Another one for the good guys!

They’re such shining examples of humility in leadership. Nobility and sincerity, living their beliefs.

[twodogsbarking]

39. Couple of the Century Award winners, two centuries in a row.

40. It appears Rosalyn is saying "you can drive faster Garth" and

Jimmy is saying "now everybody doesn't have your reflexes, Rosie".
