One of the most kick ass captioned photo's I've ever seen!

[Amimnoch]

I've always adored and admired President Carter. It'd be very difficult to find a greater humanitarian.

[sufrommich]

1. I love him. He was my first and second vote for president.

He's an amazing human being.

[LittleGirl]

12. He was my first vote too!

unfortunately, that was the year Reagan won. ugh. Still admire the man and hope he's around for a long time still.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

16. He was my first vote also - I saw dark days ahead

when raygun was elected - sometimes you hate being correct

[LittleGirl]

21. reagan =

worst president ever. I had to postpone college because he changed the Pell grant program and that was my ticket to college. I didn't finish until I was 45.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

23. it hurts so bad when you understand the damage done

when america turned from Carter to raygun

[LittleGirl]

36. and we're still fighting that

bastard and how he screwed up the country with the 'gov't is the problem' b.s. ugh.

[hifiguy]

50. The plan to gull the people into making that "turn"

was the product of at least four decades' planning. The same people who hated FDR and the New Deal provided the money then, and their heirs are bankrolling the ongoing propaganda, psyops and intentional dumbing down of the people.

The Nazi sympathizers among the plutocracy never went away. They laid low until they could take over.

[Maynar]

55. Have to agree

well put.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

59. yes yes yes

it is a fight that they will never stop fighting

everyone else only pushes back when things get very very very bad

[lastlib]

57. I was headed for law school.....

...then that fucking sonofa(not-acceptable-term-on-DU) cut my financial aid by half+, cut aid to the university (which responded with a 22% tuition increase), AND fucked up the economy, which cost my father his job. So I wound up a) NOT going to law school (ever), and b) trying to find a job (guess what that was like in the raygun years, let alone one that would allow me to pay off student loans, pay rent, and help out my parents). Had to postpone marriage for so long that the girl finally dumped me.

you can understand my raging hatred of that fucking basturd Reagan and his evil spawn the bushes. And the rest of the GOP horse's ass he rode in on. My number-one goal in life these days is to soak that fucker's grave with my urine.

[denverbill]

28. I voted against him in 1976. And for him in 1980.

Definitely one of the best human beings ever to be President. And in my book, the only real Christian to hold the office in the last 100 years. Nobody has done more for peace and helping humanity.

[hifiguy]

48. My first POTUS vote as well.

Banged on doors for Jimmy (and his most excellent running mate who was my Senator) in the fall of 1976 in my suburban Minneapolis hometown. I was so much younger then, I'm older than that now. Pace, Bob.

I wish we could declare him a Living National Treasure, as the Japanese do with their extraordinary people. No one deserves it more.

[Scuba]

2. K and effing R

[Android3.14]

3. Bernie Sanders reminds me of Jimmy Carter

Both are visionaries and leaders we need, if not necessarily deserve.

[spanone]

4. the K&R...

[Phentex]

5. One of a kind...

he's the real deal.

[Hortensis]

6. Love the guy and love the definition!

[JackInGreen]

7. Hells yes!

Jimmy Carter will eventually get to paradise and instantly start asking what he can do to help.

[Scarsdale]

8. Family values

REAL family valuues in action, not just as a talking point. He was TOO DECENT for the slime in DC. Wonderful man, with a great wife.

[Amimnoch]

64. Really! If the Carters were the "Family Values" that the right espoused..

I wouldn't be so anti-Christian.

[malaise]

9. Should have 500 recs

here on DU

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. I just gave it #135! It's a good start, my dear malaise! n/t

[malaise]

30. LOL

We're almost there California Peggy

[hifiguy]

51. I was #249

Rollin;, rollin;, rollin;.

[malaise]

53. Could make it

we're passed half way

[brer cat]

10. K&R

Great meme for a great man. Love the woman beside him too.

[Amimnoch]

11. Rosalynn Carter is definitely in a class all by herself.

I don't think you can find a list of the greatest first ladies in history where she isn't listed:

http://americanhistory.about.com/od/uspresidents/tp/first_ladies.htm


And, really, her achievements as first lady was only a part of her story.

[mountain grammy]

13. Two of the best votes of my lifetime

were for Jimmy Carter. After 35 years, I still hold a grudge against the Dems who abandoned him for Reagan, and that is very un-Carter of me.

[47of74]

14. They don't make 'em like him anymore.

[Bubzer]

15. +1

[hamsterjill]

17. He's a very special man!

May he have more years to set the example, because NOBODY sets the example like Jimmy!

[kentuck]

18. Great photo!

Jimmy is the baddest ass of them all !

[snooper2]

19. Somebody should tell him they have these cool things called sawzalls now :)

[Hassin Bin Sober]

27. Beat me to it.

I was going to say He's a badass that uses a hand saw.

Maybe we should chip in and get him a cordless sawzall for hi 92nd birthday.

Although, maybe he made 91 because he gets exercise using hand tools.

[lame54]

20. Kick for BadAss Jimmy

[Half-Century Man]

22. First President I voted for.

The man who handled post-presidency the best, the shining example to which all others pale.

[lame54]

24. Tell that to the Guinea Worm...

but make it quick

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculiasis

In 1984, the World Health Organization (WHO) asked the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to spearhead the effort of its eradication, an effort that was further supported by the Carter Center.[30] In 1986, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his not-for-profit organization, the Carter Center, began leading the global campaign, in conjunction with CDC, UNICEF, and WHO.[36] At that time Pakistan, Yemen and 17 countries in Africa were endemic for this disease and reported a total of 3.5 million cases per year.

In 2014 there were 126 cases of the disease reported.[8] This is down from 3.5 million cases in 1986.[2] It only exists in 4 countries in Africa, down from 20 countries in the 1980s.[1][8] The country most affected is South Sudan.[8] It will likely be the first parasitic disease to be globally eradicated.[9] Guinea worm disease has been known since ancient times.[2] It is mentioned in the Egyptian medical Ebers Papyrus, dating from 1550 BC.[10] The name dracunculiasis is derived from the Latin "affliction with little dragons",[11] while the name "guinea worm" appeared after Europeans saw the disease on the Guinea coast of West Africa in the 17th century.[10] A species similar to guinea worms causes disease in other animals.[12] These do not appear to infect humans.[12] It is classified as a neglected tropical disease.[13

[niyad]

26. yes, pretty sure that the guinea worms are not that fond of him.

[Midnight Writer]

62. Millions of lives saved every year. By the one and only Jimmy Carter.

[niyad]

25. k and r for a truly great man--and the truly great woman working beside him.

[Gothmog]

31. great Jimmy Carter meme

[LibDemAlways]

32. When my daughter was small, I took her to

a Jimmy Carter book signing. He greeted everyone in the long line with a smile and a "hello," but when he saw me carrying my toddler, he reached up, touched her arm, said "hello, darlin," and told me she was beautiful. It was a moment I'll never forget. A true gentleman and an extraordinary humanitarian. Best former President. No one else in his league.

[Rex]

33. The GOP always hated the POTUS, because he is the only one to follow the teachings of Christ.

And they waller in their own self-loathing over it. Repukes hate the actual acts of Christ and President Carter reminds them of how it is SUPPOSED to be.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

34. K&R

A true model of what we should aspire to be.

[ohheckyeah]

35. Did you know

he's a very decent artist and a woodworker?

He forgot his wife's birthday one year and gave her an IOU for anything she wanted. Her request? He bring her coffee in bed every morning and he does.

He still blushes when he talks about Roslyn. I think it's heartwarming.

He is a great man in so many ways.

[SheilaT]

37. I have long been saying, as in since the early 1980s

that Jimmy Carter is the best President of the second half of the twentieth century. Back when he was being universally reviled and blamed for all the things that simply were not his fault, I knew he'd been one the best Presidents ever.

I've never gotten to meet him, probably never will, and for that I'm very sorry.

[joanbarnes]

38. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree!

[riderinthestorm]

39. Rec #200!! Love him!!! nt

[Angry Dragon]

[Liberal_in_LA]

41. k&r

[lark]

42. Best man to be president during my lifetime.

to a great man and humanitarian.

[JDPriestly]

43. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. What a great couple!

[Dont call me Shirley]

44. Jimmy Carter is a badass! And I love him!

[treestar]

45. Wow

I did not even realize he worked at that still in that capacity! Thought he was sitting on a Board or the like.

[Paka]

46. K&R

A truly great man. Both he and his wife have core values to emulate.

Great photo. I worked on a house here in Thailand for H4H some years ago next to the house he and Rosalyn worked on. What fun it was to shake his hand and tell him personally I had worked on the Carter Center Guinea Worm Eradication Project when I was Peace Corps in Cote d'Ivoire.

[mcar]

47. He is badass

president and Mrs Carter.

[waldo.c]

49. +1

Jimmy Carter is an authentic human being - just like Bernie Sanders

[hifiguy]

52. And a kick for Jimmy Carter,

an honest, good and decent man in every imaginable way. The last president with integrity (until Bernie).

[pacalo]

54. Another kick!

[PatrickforO]

56. Jimmy Carter. Badass and truly great human being!

[Uncle Joe]

58. Kudos to Jimmy Carter.

Thanks for the thread, Amimnoch.

[Ghost in the Machine]

60. I have lost count of the number of times I have "Liked" this on Facebook, now a REC for you! n/t

[stage left]

61. Jimmy Carter

is a very special man.

[eridani]

63. Best ex-president we've ever had. (I know I'm not being fair to presidents who served--

--when the life you could expect after age 65 usually didn't include peak good health.) As presiding, I thought he was a bit too much the micromanager, but his term looks better and better with each passing year.
