    Default Jimmy Carter

    His presidency was before my time and I haven't agreed with a lot of his politics but he truly seems like a decent human who has done a lot of positive for the world. He gave a news conference this am in which he related his cancer spread to his brain. He was quite funny in his conference but it also seemed he was saying good bye. The gentleman is 91. I wish him the best, I know his presidency is looked upon poorly but he has done a lot of good works.

    Default Re: Jimmy Carter

    A military man, a businessman, a church man, a politician and a humanitarian.

    He was never great at anyone thing, but he always gave a great effort.

    I saw him one time. Driving by some houses that he and others were building in the central city of Milwaukee.
    I thought to myself, wow, he didn't have to come here and physically help out. But he made his point: if he can, why cant the men in the community do the same.

    As a man he must be celebrated for his charity work.....as a politician I despised him because his views and policies he put in place, well intentioned though they may have been were horrible.

    We are told, if you have nothing good to say about anybody, say 'nothing at all'.

    'Nothing at all'.

    Shame really, horrible way to go but he is amazingly still looking upbeat. My old man was apart of that ill fated Rh-53 team off of the Nimitz, never got over why they left assets and dead behind but no bitter words for Carter. They estimate he has 10 weeks?

    Your pops was in Operation Eagle Claw or whatever the name of it was with the Iran hostage crisis?


    He's 90 years old, every day he's been hopping out of bed since 75-80 (roughly) has been a "free day". Everyone passes at some point and with Reagan, Ford, and Nixon all gone well it's not a surprise his health is failing.....granted George H. W. Bush is 91 and recently broke his neck or back or some crazy shit like that so I wouldn't be surprised if he passes soon as well.
