2. Two great Americans.

3. Who is this person and why would he know?

[BlackSkimmer]

5. This person has obviously gleaned from the tabloids that the President "accidentally" said that.

I have seen NOWHERE that President Carter has requested this, other than President Biden saying so, which he said he did accidentally.

This OP is a bit misleading unless I've missed some other news.

6. He didn't source. AP News link here

ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden says he plans to deliver the eulogy at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, who remains under hospice care at his home in south Georgia.

Biden told donors at a California fundraiser Monday evening about his “recent” visit to see the 39th president, whom he has known since he was a young Delaware senator supporting Carter’s 1976 presidential campaign.

“He asked me to do his eulogy,” Biden said, before stopping himself from saying more. “Excuse me, I shouldn’t say that.”

Carter, who at 98 is the longest-lived U.S. president, announced Feb. 18 that he would spend his remaining days at home receiving end-of-life care, forgoing further medical intervention after a series of short hospital stays. The Carter Center in Atlanta and the former president’s family members have not disclosed details of his condition, though Biden alluded to Carter’s 2015 cancer diagnosis and subsequent recovery.

7. Thank you.

Given the era of misinformation and disinformation we live in, it makes sense to cite credible sources for claims such as these rather than just some random person from Twitter who didn't cite any sources either.

9. Here's info on him. He's an influencer for Democrats.

12. Agreed. And he should not have said that.

I'm disappointed that he felt the need to speak about President Carter in this way.

[hamsterjill]

18. Totally agree.

It was a mistake for Biden to have said that. He realized, but it was too late.

4. it will be

one for the history books!!!

[piddyprints]

8. Two of the best presidents in my lifetime.

I wish they could live forever!

Naturally, I hope it's not for a while, but President Joe Biden is absolutely 100% the right person for this!

10. A great man requesting words from a great man.

[Cha]

11. Aww.. how precious!

TY

[BlackSkimmer]

14. "Precious"?

Seriously?

Number one, President Carter is NOT dead.

Number two, President Biden should not have said that, as he himself admitted. That was not discreet.

Number three, nothing is "precious' about a death of an admirable man.

Number four, "precious" is best reserved for puppies, kittens, babies, artwork, and jewels.

15. Wow! Take it easy, Cujo............. sheesh!

[BlackSkimmer]

16. Cujo?

OK, lol.

I love mysterious posts.

Anyway, just no. President Carter is not "precious" like a little child, or a gem. He was a good president, and I believe history will show this. Sorry, not sorry.

I met him once on a Habitat site. He is a great man, but not "precious". I imagine he'd fall over laughing at that description.

Woof!

19. President Carter told the world that he's gone home to die

I see nothing wrong here. Every single one of us will end up dead. Some of us aren’t afraid of life’s absolute truth.

[SheltieLover]

13. A great honor!

[PatrickforB]

17. Oh, boy. This brought some tears.

Carter is a great man. Truly great. An honor for Biden, another great man.

[In It to Win It]

20. Damn. That made me tear up

[Torchlight]

21. A genuine warmth and kindness is seen in both of these men.

I hope a little bit of that quiet, precious kindness reaches us all, and begins to starve us of that daily bitterness we so easily justify as anything but.
