1. Joe rocks!

2. I'm still waiting for them to rename that bridge after John Lewis!

3. Ikr!

Maybe it's not up to him? Dunno.

4. I have no idea who it's up to, but I was hoping they'd do that in his lifetime

5. Guessing it's more of a local thing, but not sure.

I know! I hate that they wait till people die to honor them. Patriarchy being reactive, vs proactive I guess.

I really wish soneobe would name something big after Pres Carter while he is still with us!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. And I sure can support that, too - President Carter was one of my very first heroes - and still is!

7. I knew you would

Seriously, why do they wait until the intended recipient of such an honor is no longer among us?

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I guess they figure it's now-or-never to honor them, but I share your frustration.

Jimmy Carter, like John Lewis, deserves to be honored in his lifetime.

10. Absolutely!

Do it now!!!!!!

11. Interesting

That when President Carter went into hospice all the well deserved tributes came out on legitimate TV news. As if he had died. Good on them.

Kinda on topic. Why do TV Stations and print publications pay “tribute to those who died this year” before the year is over? Every year.

12. Advertising $$$$$

13. I couldn't agree more!
